Jeanie (guide) was super! Very knowledgeable and super energetic and enthusiastic; she clearly loves what she is doing and wants her guests on the tour to experience as much as possible. She packed a lot into the tour - we saw many different villages and she provided lots of interesting information. I highly recommend the tour - although you should know that it makes for a long day (9+ hours)

Worth going!

Isabel_V, Sep 2024

Beautiful places and Eugenie was a really sweet guide! I went with my mother. We did not get tired and we just loved the beautiful views! Lovely day! Thank you!

If you like long rides in the countryside, this will be an amazing experience

William_R, Sep 2024

Please read the review more than look at the 3-star review...because this might be the perfect trip for you depending on what you like/dislike. This turned out to be a VERY long day (10 hours from start to finish). The ten hours wasn't the issue, except most of it was spent in a crammed van with 8 total guests (6 + me/wife). Some of the stops were outstanding...but will be less impressive if you've already experienced wonderful French (or European) small towns. The charm is amazing. Given I've traveled all over Europe, the experience was not as significant for me as it might be for first-time visitors to small European towns. The stops were great, but the van experience was a 1 of 5 rating. The van was packed...it was an 8 passenger van and 100% of the seats were full. This means that at all times, we had at least one couple who was separated by rows. The configuration is 2-3-3 seating. The driver's speaker/microphone system did not work, so there wasn't an ability to hear anything he was saying from the driver's seat. Because we (my wife and I) were the only two who were not experiencing motion sickness...we ended up in the 3rd row for all 10 hours and missed 90% of what the driver was saying (and he didn't say much because the speaker/microphone system wasn't working). And to make matters worse, the first four passengers (us + another couple) were picked up in Marseille...then we stopped in another city to pick up 4 additional guests. This added 15-20 minutes at the start and the end of the trip as we had to drive to another city (not one on the list) to pick up and drop off other guests. Not a great experience at the end of a long day.

Wonderful orientation of villages in Luberon

Melody_M, Jun 2024

This was a really wonderful trip to see some of the small villages in Luberon. The villages we went to were beautiful and special in their own way. I appreciated our guide's explanations and that the group was small. I'm happy that I went on this tour and would recommend it.

Clem shines!

Paul_R, Apr 2024

Clem is the best! Thank you! 😁 The whole your was great even though the weather was not good. The scenery was great and Clem did a great job

Lev_P, Aug 2023

I spent 10 days in France, taking trips to Marseille, Arles, Avignon, and Aix-En-Provence. Lemme tell you something -- this was my favorite day of the trip. The tour guide was absolutely fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He gave us the full rundown of the Luberon Mountain range and took us to five towns -- all of which had stunning, singular architecture and views. We got a good amount of time to stroll through each town. Not a physically strenuous tour at all. I was especially stunned by the ochre-rich town of Rousillion and the astounding Fontaine-de-Vaucleuse.

Luberon, such a great day trip from Marseille

Karen_G, Jul 2023

The villages were were wonderful, each one we visited had a uniqueness about it. While it would always be great to have additional time, we never felt rushed. Our guide, Jennie, was wonderful and provided information and suggestions.

Such a wonderful trip ... !

Sumalee_A, Apr 2023

All visited villages are so lovely, beautiful with excellent panoramic view beyond our expectation. We enjoyed them all along the day, and would recommend to all to pay a visit. Moreover, our tour leader (Jenny) is so nice, and very helpful. She accompanied with us almost the trip, and explained related informative things of program along the journey.

Do this!

Angela_A, Jul 2022

The towns were gorgeous! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! There was time to explore every village and time to stop for photos anywhere we wanted. Highly recommend!

I loved the tour and our tour guide was great.

Dennis_R, May 2022

I enjoyed it all. I saw many different villages in the Luberon. You want me to say more except it is late at night and I ‘m tired. The only thing I didn’t like is this survey that insists I say more.

Journée exceptionnelle!😎

Martine_R, Oct 2024

Quelle magnifique journée pour découvrir des villages du Luberon. Notre guide -chauffeur Nicolas accomplit son travail de façon très professionnelle et rigoureuse! Ils nous transmis beaucoup d’informations très pertinentes. Les villages sont fabuleux! Je vous recommande cette sortie!

最高の1日でした。

JUNYA_K, Aug 2024

ツアーガイドのクレモンさんの案内はとても親切かつ良い距離感で一日中楽しむ事が出来ました。一つ一つの村をレンタカーで回る事は初心者には難しいのでおすすめできます。南仏の村をいくつも回るのであればぜひ検討ください

Los campos de lavanda ,...

Marisol_C, Jul 2024

Los campos de lavanda , por supuesto bellísimos. Y los pueblos con un encanto entre histórico y campestre. Y tambien mencionar el buen trabajo del guía, y su trato amable.
