Itinerary
Your morning or afternoon tour starts with pickup from your Avignon hotel by air-conditioned minivan. Enjoy the views on the about 1-hour drive to the Luberon Valley in the heart of Provence, then make the first stop of the day at the Abbey Notre-Dame of Sénanque. After a short visit to admire the Cistercian architecture, continue to hilltop Gordes, where you’ll have about 30 minutes to take in the views and explore the picturesque Provencal village.
Next, you’ll visit another Luberon village, Roussillon, which is known for its striking red ochre cliffs and contrasting buildings. Here, you’ll have an hour to stroll the streets and browse the shops at your own pace.
You’ll make one final stop to see the natural springs of Fontaine de Vaucluse before returning to Avignon, where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.

The whole tour felt a bit rushed by the guide. She was informative and was trying to be friendly but she should not have made poor taste jokes to the American people in the tour. Her driving was very fast too and she rode the brakes.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Sorry you felt the tour was a bit rushed.
We only have time 45-50 minutes for each stop plus the added lavendine stop.
Our American clients usually appreciate
my sense of humor, sorry you did not.

Great way to spend half day outside of Avignon. Absolutelu beautiful villages! We had a wonderful guide with good info and fun stories.
Wendy_R, Jun 2026
I loved the places the tour went to, but I was not impressed with the tour guide. She seemed like she was rushed all the time. In my opinion, she did not engage well with those on the tour, and I could hardly hear her in the van as she told the stories of the regions we visited. I would still recommend the tour but hope the tour guide is more positively engaging.
Jean_L, Jun 2026
The tour was good. Nothing exceptional, but Anne was kind and informative. I couldn’t hear some things with the one speaker in the car, and she didn’t hear my questions from the back, but we had a wonderful time touring the beautiful towns.
Donna_S, Jun 2026
Our tour provided a half day of spectacular views of some of Provenance’s beautiful villages! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the region, friendly and made our tour, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Avignon.
John_B, Jun 2026
This was a really nice trip, and we balanced traveling as a group with alone time nicely in each town. We had plenty of freedom to shop, eat a snack or hike a little in each place. The guide was informative and let us know what things we could do in each area.
Robert_P, May 2026
Alot of knowledge. Great learning experience. I wish Natalie would have done a few more short stops for pictures. Also it would have been nice to walk with the group at the villages, so we knew what we were seeing.
Francis_A, May 2026
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!
Glen_C, May 2026
Our guide was both warm and knowledgeable, able to relate history plus items relating to culture, geology, and culture.
Siphilisiwe_N, May 2026
Beautiful taste of the countryside. Some stops feel short but overall a lovely experience and scenic drive.
Sally_J, Apr 2026
Great way to visit some beautiful villages in the area. We had plenty of time to spend in each one. It was good to do the tour in the morning before the places became too busy.
Natalie was a good guide and a safe driver.
Garry_G, Apr 2026
I found the guide difficult to understand at times. She was very informative though. The tour was well paced. Group size was good (not too large).
paulnancy3, Apr 2026
So complete! A great way to visit outskirts of Avignon . Our guide Kelsey was prompt, knowledgeable, personable and friendly to chat with. . Totally happy with this excursion choice. 5 hrs was more than enough time to see the sights .
Andrew_L, Oct 2025
All three spots are scenic and perfect for taking pictures. Our guide Natalie is very knowledgeable about the region. Would definitely recommend!
Michael_S, Oct 2025
Well organised. Saw all the sights as promised. Prompt pickup at organised location. Guide was very versed on history and location.
Maria_T, Oct 2025
The sites we visited were absolute gems. Good introduction to the area. Our guide, Kelsie, an absolute delight!
Janis_H, Oct 2025
Anne was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tour was as expected with sufficient time for photo opportunities and exploration at each stop.
Janice_N, Oct 2025
Great day visiting three distinctly different villages. All interesting. Great views. Guide provided lots of information.
Richard_T, Oct 2025
Joanna gave us an outstanding tour of the footsteps of Van Gough! Her enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, professionalism, promptness, patience & overall excellence made our tour one of the very best tours of anywhere we traveled around the world! We highly recommend her & she represents your company as if she was your CEO! She deserves a substantial raise! Thank you.

Very good tour of beautiful villages in Provence which was highly enjoyable. Casey was an excellent driver and guide. We look forward to coming back to the area shortly to explore further.
Lisa_M, Sept 2025
Lovely day xisiting the Luberon Valley hill towns. Kelsey our guide was lovely and a good driver. We had 6 people in our group. She dropped us off at each of the towns and allowed us to explore. She gave us some history on the ride to the towns and gave us options how to spend our time there. It was a lovely day
Marilyn_M, Aug 2025
Casey (spelling?) was a fabulous tour guide. We had a mixed English and French group and she could switch flawlessly from one language to the other. Casey drove professionally and safely and gave us detailed instructions on where to go and what to see. If one only has a short period of time in Avignon and wants to get a good representation of the quaint, small towns in Provence, I highly recommend this tour in general and this tour guide in particular.
Dean_G, Jul 2025
I booked this tour just two days before my tour and was not told that the lavender fields had already been harvested. My only reason for booking this trip was to photograph the lavender fields. I will never use Viator again and I would like to request a refund.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
The lavendine fields in the Luberon area are finished blooming by mid-July and very often cut by then. You never requested a lavender tour where we could have gone to the mountain and see some. We did the agreed stops in hilltop villages..
Maria_P, Jul 2025
Wonderful tour with knowledgeable Natalie from Avignon! Highly recommend to see beautiful villages in Provence.
Christina_B, Jul 2025
We had an excellent trip with Natalie! She was so kind and informative . It was a perfect day . Ample time at each location and she gave us great suggestions for lunch and photo spots.
Faina_R, Jun 2025
Very bad experience. Just a drivers, no guide. She never tell to us her name. From the start of the trip nothing was explained.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
I think you are referring to another tour company as I don’t have you registered in any of our tours of the Luberon in the last 10 days.
Barbara_C, Jun 2025
An interesting tour of 3 different sort of places. Our guide made sure we were comfortable , and would stop to let us take photos of special viewpoints. We were given adequate time in each place to see the points of interest.
Jill_D, Jun 2025
Very informative guide with lots of info about the villages we were visiting. They were definitely worth visiting. Fabulous. The tour was on time and the pick up location was easy to find. Would recommend.
James_K, Jun 2025
Things we loved: small group size (7), great, informative driver and guide (Kelsey), getting to not only see but spend time away from Avignon and to 3 small towns.
We also enjoyed that this was packed into a 1/2 day tour, but didn’t feel rushed. No negatives: we’d do it again!
elizabeth_r, Jun 2025
Great tour such pretty villages and great guide Natalie and small group and perfect time in each place we visited
