Top Provence Day Trips

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.

Our guide, Joanna, was superb. She had a vast amount of knowledge about a host of things from ancient history to Van Gogh. The tour could easily be two hours longer with an extra hour at Pont du Gard and a half hour at each village (time for a light meal!), but it gives you a great overview.

We had such a fantastic day exploring with Denis and Virginia! From the moment we met them, they made the tour fun, relaxed, and full of great stories about the area. Since there weren’t any other cruise ships in port that day, it ended up being just us on the tour, which made it feel extra special. The drive from Marseille to Cassis was beautiful, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the drive through the mountains, the beaches and scenery. The highlight for us was definitely going up to the lookout points—those views were absolutely breathtaking! Denis also surprised us by putting together little video clips of our day, which was such a thoughtful touch. Such a unique experience that we’ll definitely remember for a long time, would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about this adventure with a great family run operation!
