Top Provence Day Trips - page 9

This was the best tour I've ever taken! Célestine is a wonderful guide, she is extremely knowledgeable and very warm, caring and helpful. Everyone on our tour had an exceptional day. The lavender fields were beautiful and the time we spent in the lovely village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie was a highlight for me. The stop at the lake was gorgeous and refreshing as well (bring a swim suit!). Merci beaucoup Célestine!!

Our family loved this day covering tons of Provence with Emily! We all had such a lovely time together and so much fun. This family-owned business is THE BEST and they know how to make the most of your time. We were just amazed at how much we were able to see on this tour. It was very well organized, flexible, the transportation was great and the small group was perfect. The knowledge and enthusiasm Emily brings is just awesome. You will not be disappointed if your goal is to spend a day seeing fabulous areas of Provence, all while having a great time doing it! Highly recommend! Thank you Emily, you truly are amazing - Oh My Gordes!!!

I don't often leave reviews, but this tour absolutely deserves one. I had just spent five days based in Provence and wanted to visit several places that, in my view, would have been difficult to reach efficiently without renting a car or constantly changing hotels. I had settled on staying first in Arles and then in Aix-en-Provence (both with museums I was keen to visit), but I also wanted to see iconic sites like Pont du Gard and the Palais des Papes in Avignon. This tour—which also incorporated Les Baux-de-Provence and a winery in Châteauneuf-du-Pape—made it possible to experience all of them in a single, well-organized day. I felt I had enough time to appreciate each stop, and I always appreciate small-group tours that eliminate the need to drive, park, and figure out all the logistics. All in all, this trip was an excellent value and a perfect way to see some of Provence's most famous sites. As a bonus, while in Arles I had fallen in love with the legendary Mistral winds, so it was fun to return to that part of the region one last time before heading home! Our guide, Audrey, was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the day. One final note deserves special mention. I accidentally left my prescription sunglasses in the van after the tour. They were very important to me, and Audrey and everyone at A la Française went above and beyond to locate them and arrange for their return. That level of customer service—especially after the tour had ended—left as much of an impression on me as the tour itself.
