A wonderful day in Provence

The tour was magnificent. We drove through the beautiful region of Provence and learned a lot about wine making and more importantly, tasting. Our guide Emeline was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The grounds of the vineyards we visited were beautiful and the scenery was exceptional. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Stunning view of the gorge

A long day but worth it to see the gorge from Belvedere de la Carelle. We had plenty of time to visit Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and also an hour at the beautiful blue lake. It would have been nice to have stopped at more of the viewpoints along the canyon. I was sitting by the window on the left side of the vehicle and had great views but it wasn’t so good for those on the other side. Mike was our guide and he did an excellent job

Full-Day 3 Village Tour of Provence: Splendid & Secret

WOW, what an amazing shore excursion (from Toulon)

We were in Toulon on a cruise ship and had the most delightful tour with our guide, Sarit. It was private, just my husband and I, so we could take our time to enjoy each location. First we visited Sanary Sur Mer, and it was so charming. Sarit took us there first so we could enjoy the local "farmers" market. I could have spent all day there, she showed us many great local shops and helped us find local treats. Next we went to Castellet for some great shopping and Crepes at a cute cafe. Sarit was wonderful sharing history and information as we went along. We ended the tour with Evenos (hilltop, think "heaven") with amazing views. I loved our day with Sarit, and I highly recommend this tour, you will have so many wonderful memories and colorful photos.

Amazing tour, can’t...

Amazing tour, can’t recommend enough! Momen was wonderful and had great facts and information on each site we visited. We ended up being the only 2 people, so it was more of a private tour which was great and gave us a lot of flexibility. At each stop we also had time to walk around on our own, which added to the experience. Highly recommend!

Our extensive pleasurable tour

Davis was our professional, accommodating guide who had a fabulous personality and a wealth of experience and knowledge of the region. Our tour extended into 10 hours because we had huge crowds but no future plans so David could extend his time with us which we thought was very considerate. As David told us highlights of each area we were given additional time to enjoy ourselves. He drove us on a portion of the Formula 1 track and recommended the best places to eat and shop.. Our day was a memorable journey thru the French Riviera and we would highly recommend this tour, don’t miss out!

We had the most amazing time. Andrea was an incredible guide and gave us a once in a lifetime experience we'll never forget. The unique mix of wineries and the lunch reservation in a hidden gem of a historic town made for a perfect day. He was so knowledgeable and kind and really tailored the tour to our group. We came away with a deeper understanding of wine and would 100% recommend azure and especially Andrea to anyone traveling to nice.

We had a lovely day in...

We had a lovely day in Provence! The group paired with my husband & I for our tour cancelled, so we ended up with our own private tour on the last day of our honeymoon!! Overall, the van was very comfortable. All of the stops we made were beautiful. We loved the perfumery, the villages, and got some amazing photos! Definitely would recommend if you’re staying on the beach and want a day to see the countryside, I’d say it’s worth it!

The Grand Canyon of Europe and Its Lavender Fields Small group

Beyond my expectations

I recently experienced a van tour through the lavender fields and mountain ranges of southern France, led by Laurent. From start to finish, this was the kind of trip that turns a good holiday into a truly spectacular one. We met Laurent early in the morning, bright and eager. Instantly, his warmth and enthusiasm set the tone. He greeted each one of us by name, offered chilled water, and provided a quick overview of the day ahead. You could tell he genuinely loved both the region and his job. Laurent’s commentary throughout the tour was informative and full of little local stories. He pointed out landmarks along the way and historic hilltop villages. Stepping into our first lavender field was amazing. The rows stretched out in perfect purple waves. Laurent made sure we had plenty of time to wander, take photos, and even sneak a few sprigs to carry home. As we climbed higher into the foothills, the landscape shifted—from lavender to pine-scented trails, olive groves, and then jaw-dropping views of the mountains. The lavender fields were fragrant and endless, the mountain views were awe-inspiring, and Laurent made it all come together with his kindness, patience, expertise, and genuine love for the region.
