Lovely lavender
Meeting point outside the tourist information centre, which was easy. Lovely drive to the lavender fields with Anthony, our very knowledgeable driver. He took us to some lovely locations and we even got to see the lavender being harvested, amazing smell! Then onto sunflower fields and some great photo opportunities. Finished with a tasting and talk at an olive oil production facility. Lots of products to buy - olive oils, lavender and local wines - I recommend the rosé! Knowledgeable attentive driver who even gave us some restaurant recommendations, thank you Anthony. Great experience, so glad we didn’t try to hire a car and do it on our own!

Spotting a good lavender...
Spotting a good lavender field is not an easy task. The fields get harvested and the landscape changes drastically over a night.
Our tour guide ensured that we got the best experience. He drove to remote locations and we had the shots similar to few photos on available on Google. That was dedication beyond the expectations.
My personal experience on the lavender tour is to have them late in the day when the sunlight turns orange.And note that much of the pics on google are far from the true vision I think. Camera does the tric that the real eyes can't .

One amazing day in Provence
This tour was one of the best I have ever done. A full day taking in the very best of Provence, beautiful ancient hill villages, castles, fields of Lavender and culminating with the amazing Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard. Our guide was Gordana, her vehicle was spotless and comfortable with welcome, efficient Air-Con. Gordana was amazing, keeping us to schedule so we missed nothing, but never rushed. This a whistle-stop tour so as to see so much but Gordana ensured we had some time to have a wander around each place, and we had more than an hour for lunch in Rousillon, and some time walking through the lavender! She is hugely knowledgeable on all facets of the area and gave us a brief history of each place or site in addition to the agriculture of the area – the vines, the olives, the lavender – and of course the Mistral. Gordana is passionate about Provence and this was infectious, and all with such a sense of fun throughout the day. I arrived back in Avignon enthralled by the experience – I even in proved my French!
Une journée à ne jamais oublier!
I thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore a lot of Provence in one day, in such a pleasant way.
Merci beaucoup Gordana

Denis makes it easy and fun! Great views
Denis picked us up right outside the cruise terminal and made it easy. The cars were fun to drive and the siteseeing was amazing. We had 6 so we did 3 and 3 and was nice for all. Denis was great he loves to take pictures so get your poses ready. Fun day on the way back thru town we put the top down and enjoyed the air conditioning because it was a hot day. But still great with the top up and the breeze and the views. Loved it. Thumbs up

So glad I happened to be in Aix in late June
Overall this was a well spent day and we were glad to have done it.
Positives:
[] The fields were absolutely amazing and we enjoyed the stop at the lavender producer and in the small town of Valensole.
[] Our tour guide Clement was easygoing and kind and we felt like he really knew where the best fields were. He would say things like, "This one is nice, but there is one with more rolling hills further down the road."
Negatives:
[] It would have been nice to know in advance that we would be stopping at a boulangerie on the way out of town as we had gotten up early to get something already prior to arriving for the tour.
[] Just my opinion - Waters should be provided as a basic staple. We are used to multi-hour tours including water and missed in the listing that it was not included. And I think it was 96 on the day of our tour.

Great Experience!
It was a great tour! Very casual and less of a group activity once you are there which was nice. Our tour guide AD was AMAZING! Overall very easy, and convenient for what we wanted to do. Had a great time. Only thing is the van is kind of small and your packed in, it was a little toasty on curvy roads.

Worth it
Relaxing, easy, saw all of the sights we could have wanted to see at a fraction of the time and stress. After a long week of traveling, busses, trains, and shore excursions, this experience made us wish we could do it all over again with more of this. Book it, you won’t regret it. Only thing to keep in mind is the driver, who is excellent, doesn’t walk you around the sights himself. He front loads you with info and then lets you wander. This worked well for my family, but might be different than some people expect.

Well worth it!
Very nice way to get to know Avignon and its history. Our guide, Matilde, was well informed on the history of the places we visited. We loved our treat of the glass of wine and assortment of cheeses at the tour’s conclusion. Be advised there is a good deal of walking. Also, if it’s sunny, bring a hat.

If you want a lovely trip...
If you want a lovely trip but don’t have time for a full day, this tour will give you an opportunity to experience a bit of the Luberon. Every stop is a “aha moment “ and the guide provides excellent commentary as you wind your way through the beautiful countryside. Thank you so much Nathalie( our guide) you did a fantastic job!

Best small group tour in Provence
Our guide Eric is a warm French countrymen with charming accent. He is friendly, professional and knowledgable about the area. Not only has he entertained us with the local history but also the story of the boutique tour company where he works alongside the director Godana and her daughter Emily. The tour operates in small groups ( max 8) and is well organised to include all major touristic sites over just 5 hours. It is short but sweet, perfect for someone with a quick stopover in Avignon who wants a snapshot of the beautiful villages. I love the lavender ice cream recommended by Eric and will definitely come back for another tour with Eric and Godana.

Magical views.
We travelled with Emmanuel to 4 hilltop villages - Gordes, Roussillion , Lourmarin and Ansouis.
What a fantastic experience. We walked around the villages ourselves which was fine - 90 minutes each in the first two which were the biggest and busiest and then 45 minutes each in the other two.
Emmanuel advised us what to look for and at in each village.
His problem was parking the van because parking is difficult in these places- so he had to drop us off and then go a long way away and return to the designated pick up spot.
He did a fantastic job and the day was brilliant - highly recommended.

Beautiful day in Cassis!
The perfect day in Cassis!
Beautiful scenery (boat ride to see les Calanques)
The town of Cassis is nice, restaurants are various and, in general, very good.
A stop at the wineyard “Domaine de Pagnol” for nice wine tasting.
Our guide ( Julien) was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant.
I recommend.
