We booked a half day tour to luberon with gordana. It was amazing and gordana was a wonderful guide. She explained us the entire history of the area as we passed by. She had us stop at really beautiful photogenic spots. Her recommendations of local patisserie and ice cream spots were so good. We had a great time.

    Great excursion

    Lirio_S, Jun 2026
    It was lovely exploring the area. The lavender field we stopped was perfect - zero crowds, lavender plants smelled divine!

    Good tour

    lisa_w, Jun 2026
    The tour itself was good. The guide was knowledgeable, informative, and very helpful with taking photos throughout the experience. We were a few minutes late due to personal issue, and I completely understand that it was our responsibility. However, I didn’t appreciate the way it was addressed. The comments came across in a way that made it seem like we intentionally didn’t care about being late, which wasn’t the case. When you’re traveling in a foreign country, unexpected situations can happen. We had already acknowledged that we were late, so I felt the additional comments were unnecessary and left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Aside from that interaction, the tour was enjoyable, and the guide was otherwise knowledgeable and helpful.

    Dear Lisa, Thank you for your review and for your kind words about the tour. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the Luberon villages and appreciated the information provided throughout the day. To clarify, the comments about the delay did not come from the guide but from other participants in the group, who were waiting for the tour to begin. Nevertheless, we regret that this affected your experience. I am sorry to learn that part of your experience left you feeling uncomfortable. I understand that unexpected situations can happen while traveling, and I appreciate that you acknowledged arriving a few minutes late. As a guide, I do my best to ensure that the tour runs smoothly and on schedule for all participants. At the same time, I never want any guest to feel unwelcome or judged. I am sorry that this aspect of the experience affected your overall impression. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of the tour. I am pleased that you were still able to enjoy the day and wish you wonderful memories of your time in Provence. Kind regards, Gordana

    Wonderful small group tour, great with kid too!

    Stella_L, Jun 2026
    What a wonderful day out touring and experiencing highlights of Provence, Luberon and perched villages with a grand ending at the Pont Du Gard which is an amazing architectural sight. We enjoyed the sights and Eric was such an engaging guide with valuable knowledge about Provence and its history. Our 8 year old son enjoyed the experiences and said it is one of the best days of this South of France trip for him thus far. The minivan was also very comfortable and clean. (We originally booked for a half day tour but ended up extending it to a full day tour. There was also a lovely newly wed couple from LA touring with us today too.) Thumbs up to Eric for making our experience lovely today! Merci beaucoup!

    Gordana provided us with a delightful tour of Luberon and it's hilltop villages. She is very knowledgeable about it's history, agriculture and nature. If I had more time in Avignon I would take another one of the tours she offers. 5 stars!

    Best small group tour in Provence

    Wenchi_C, May 2026
    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.

    Chris_L, Oct 2025
    Gordana provided both a lot of information with equal measures of humor and expertise. The tour requires a fair bit of driving time but Gordana kept a running commentary that kept things interesting and the time passed quickly. The tour stops were interesting and seemed the right length. Gordana was a delight and made the tour very informative and educational.
