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

Interesting tour of a part of history.
This tour of the Papal palace in Avignon was very informative and interesting. The guide was excelleent and easily understood. She showed us a beautiful overlook of the river before the tour of the palace. This tour involves lots of walking and steps so reasonably good physical condition is needed.

Fantastic tour to explore the Provence area! Book it!
This was an excellent tour! Our guide, Kelsey, was informative and thorough. She gave us excellent direcection at each location. We were in a group of 8 and it was a great mix of lovely people. Everyone respected the departure times we were given. Each stop was very nice And we were given time to explore these areas. The Provence area is gorgeous! This is a wonderful way to explore the Provence region. Highly recommend this trip!

A brilliant experience.
Everything you need is provided, the guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Fun throughout. You'll be sure to learn something you didn't know about wine.
We visited two wine houses and enjoyed some of the history of the fantastic and famous wine region.
I would definitely book again!

Fantastic - well worth the cost
This all-day experience was worth every penny. We learned along the way so much about Chateauneuf du Pape grapes, wines, winemaking, history of winemaking in the region, all topped off with a wonderful wine tasting at each stop. Coline was such a fantastic guide through all of this, and her close relationships with the operators of each winery we visited enhanced the visit at each venue. The lunch, relaxing and unrushed, was a gastronomic delight in a fabulous setting (lunch cost is not part of the booking fee, as is clearly stated). I would highly recommend booking with this service vendor.

Ask for Joe!
Ask for Joe! His energy and humor made the day entertaining and fun. While the wineries were different, The first half of the tour and the second half were repetitive. It would've have been nice to have seen something uniquely different. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

An introduction to the local cuisine
The Taste of Avignon tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Avignon. Our guide took us to four different locations around the city, each offering a unique and delicious taste of the local food culture.
We started with appetizers at the local market, where we sampled fresh regional specialties while learning about the history and traditions behind them. Next, we enjoyed a memorable lunch at a charming local café, featuring a wonderfully rich baked cheese dish that was both comforting and authentic.
Our third stop was a long-established patisserie, where we indulged in exquisite desserts that showcased the craftsmanship and heritage of French pastry making. The tour concluded at a local honey and nougat shop, where we sampled outstanding artisanal products.
Every stop offered something new and delicious, and the variety of experiences made the tour feel both immersive and well-paced. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the local food scene, which added tremendous value to the experience.
My only minor criticism is that the tour included just one drink with lunch. Given the quality and generosity of the food offerings, it would have been nice if an additional beverage or tasting had been included along the way. Even so, this was a phenomenal experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Avignon through its food, history, and local culture.

Wonderful small group tour, great with kid too!
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!

A specular tour of some of Provenance’s most beautiful villages!
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.

Excellent Day Trip
We appreciated this day tour because it meant that we could sit back and enjoy the view. Our wonderful guide, Ghislain, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable, friendly and even took us to a place not described in the official description of the tour, just because someone in our group requested it.
St Rémy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence (my favourite) and the fascinating Pont du Gard should not be missed.

Enjoy French wine while you learn, what’s not to like
We travelled to three vineyards in the chateau nef du pap region with our guide Natalie who was the most gracious and knowledgeable guide. I’m each location we were received with gracious hospitality great wine and wisdom. We left better understanding French wines and worth several bottles we will continue to enjoy on our journey.

Lavender South of France
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Sam, grew up in the area and knew it like the back of his hand. The places he took us to were in full bloom and gave us a wonderful sense of the world of lavender. This was a bucket list thing, so put a check mark on that.
