Sarit was committed to clear and consistent communication before and during our tour. She was knowledgeable in all facets of her destinations and their history. Accordingly, Sarit was able to answer all questions we asked. She met us at exactly the correct time when we left our ship and brought us back at our desired time. She is totally flexible with her itinerary. For those who want to shop locally, she knows the unique places. Sarit is tops!
Sarit picked us up right at the cruise port and drove us all over southern France, the historic villages are amazing, and wine was delicious. She was knowledgeable of all the history and was patient when we wanted to experience some shopping and the farmers market. She was an excellent guide and we would recommend using her 100%. Thank you Sarit!
This was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Sarit is an incredible guide who knew so much about Toulon, Le Castellet and Evenos (our favorite town of all the ones we visited). Would highly, highly recommend her.
Tour was changed a little to accommodate one member of our group in a wheelchair. Dan was WONDERFUL!!!
We scheduled this tour with Sarit based on reviews and the areas she covered. We made some modifications to the original booking, but everything worked out great and we enjoyed our tour with her. I recommend Sarit if you visit Toulon.
Excellent guide.. Communicated clearly.
Very sensitive to individual needs. Showed us areas we never wld have known about.
We were in Toulon on a cruise ship and had the most delightful tour with our guide, Sarit. It was private, just my husband and I, so we could take our time to enjoy each location. First we visited Sanary Sur Mer, and it was so charming. Sarit took us there first so we could enjoy the local "farmers" market. I could have spent all day there, she showed us many great local shops and helped us find local treats. Next we went to Castellet for some great shopping and Crepes at a cute cafe. Sarit was wonderful sharing history and information as we went along. We ended the tour with Evenos (hilltop, think "heaven") with amazing views. I loved our day with Sarit, and I highly recommend this tour, you will have so many wonderful memories and colorful photos.
Our guide, Sarit, was friendly and knowledgeable! We say many out of the way sites and went wine tasting. We highly recommend!
Savit was excellent in explaining the history of Toulon and the villages we visited. She was very caring and checked on my husband several times. The restaurant we had lunch in was great and authentic French.
Sarit was an excellent guide. The villages in Provence were charming and only disappointed that we didn’t have more time to investigate.
Sarit was very flexible and exhibited compassion and tolerance for our small group of varying interests
What a fantastic alternative to the pre-packaged, over-priced excursions offered by the cruise lines, where you're held captive with busloads of people. Prior to selecting this tour, I reached out to the guide with some specific questions- I received kind and prompt replies from Sarit and was confident this was going to be a wonderful experience. We were not disappointed. Sarit arrived early to our meeting place, and we thoroughly enjoyed all her custom selections to make our day exactly what we wanted. Sarit is a wonderful story-teller and our family was enthralled with the historical and anecdotal details she shared at every location. Sarit pointed out shops ideal for finding unique souvenirs from kind and fairly priced vendors. The icing on the cake? Sarit knew that one of our scheduled stops was under a bit of construction and recommended a look-out spot off the beaten path. She took us to a secluded village with idyllic views at every turn as we climbed higher. I do not hesitate to recommend this experience and trust that your day with Sarit will also be everything you wish it to be.

Thank you so much Amy! Likewise - I had such a great day with you :-)
Excellent small group personal tour of the villages sharing a wealth of info and insights! Casual pace and customized to our preferences with a great "hidden" winery tasting!
Our family of 3 really enjoyed the day! Sarit has a passion for guiding and is a wonderful storyteller and historian. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting to know beautiful Toulon and it’s surrounding areas and to enjoy the surprises and gems Sarit will show you along the way!
The one on one experience, stories and history with Sarit was invaluable! We loved all 3 villages and the winery in Bandol.
This was definitely the best of the excursions that we did during our cruise. It was great to have our personal tour guide! Sarit was knowledgeable and was able to connect all of the stops with their historical significance. She had a good balance of guided time and free time to explore. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone trying to get away from the large tour groups that the cruise lines offer.

Hi Dodd and thank you so much for your kind review. It was really my pleasure showing off my region and sharing it with you. All my best, Sarit.
Excellent tour, would highly recommend this. Our guide was a local, spoke perfect English, and shared so much interesting information about the history and culture of the towns we visited.
The wine tasting was great too.
