Totally worth it! Loved every minute! - Florian was a fantastic guide — clearly passionate about his work and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave thorough, engaging explanations throughout the trip, which made the whole experience much more meaningful. Highly recommended!

Our guide, Oliver, was amazing! - The tour was awesome but our guide, Oliver, made it truly special. His English was excellent and he was both funny and quick-witted. He provided great commentary, and seemed to truly want us to have a special experience.
The tour itself included several worthwhile stops and provides a great overview of Provence. We especially enjoyed Pont du Gard at the end, but several other stops were also great. Two suggestions for making it even better:
1. The stop at Gordes in the morning was just a photo stop at the side of the road. We may have preferred a bit of time to explore.
2. La Fontaine de Vaucluse is closed due to recent rockslides. We enjoyed the town and had lunch there, but the guide should advise that the hike is not worth it since you can’t see the fountain after a hot walk uphill.
The only other comment is that the van should not be booked for eight people. Maybe seven at most. With a full van, someone has to sit in the middle front seat where there is essentially no legroom and it is very uncomfortable trying to maintain your personal space next to your seat mate.

Excellent tour of Avignon & Luberon - Martine (our guide) was fantastic. The tour was quite fun—we drove all over the region. The wine tour was fun. We stopped for tastings at two vineyards. The tour of Luberon was also great—we had two separate 1-hour stops in the villages. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - We had a wonderful day with our fabulous tour guide, Martina. She was absolutely amazing and full of so much information about Provenance. She kept us entertained with her knowledge of the countryside and history of this beautiful area. It was a top-class trip and great value for money.

Avignon Highlights - Our guide Silvia was great. She provided a running commentary about the places we were passing and the towns that we visited, along with the histories of each. The van was clean and comfortable. We could hear our guide because she had a microphone. Of course it would’ve been nice to spend more time in each town, but it wasn’t possible on this tour. Silvia also provided restaurant suggestions in Avignon when our tour was over. Highly recommend this tour with Silvia.

Discover Provence without Driving - See all the top destinations in the area without having to drive. I could not believe France contains so many diverse places in such a small area. It’s a trip I’ll remember forever.
Minimal walking required & plenty of spots for food & toilets. Our guide was very welcoming & knowledgeable. Amazing value!

5 stars for our guide (Flo), 4 stars for the structure of the tour - Covered a lot of Provence in a day. Our guide Flo was full of energy and provided good explanations throughout the day. Tour appears to be in 2 parts. We visited a few villages in the morning then came back to Avignon to pick up some people for the half day afternoon tour. Would have had less travel time if this was exclusively a full day tour.

Improveable - We did a full day tour that was offered to us after having suffered two cancellations by the local suppliers already immersed in our trip, in haste and disappointment.
After that incident, we found a tour supposedly full day and more expensive than the initial one that proved a simple union of two half-day tours.
Therefore we lost a lot of time in leaving and entering the city twice and for that reason time was subtracted from the visits of each locality... Incomprehensible that it offers as one and at a higher price.
We also hired him in French and it turned out to be in English so that the use of the explanations of the guide, François, although friendly and attentive at all times, we could not take advantage of them in conditions.
A complete disappointment for management reasons although the route is very nice and advisable to know the area.
And platform communication failure: Although the application and the website do not specify it, you have to pay by credit card, not debit card. It seems that one of the cancellations was for that reason and no one explained it during the booking process.
We were well served in the backup office but the confusion was served. It is better to charge in advance when booking and surprises are avoided at the same time.
A pity.

An average intro to Provençal villages - We visited Roussillon, Gordes (viewpoint only), and Fontaine de Vacluse in the first half of the day. The second half of the day we stopped briefly at St Remy de Provence, then visited Les Baux and Pont du Gard. Unfortunately, significant time was wasted having to return to Avignon after lunch to pick up 2 passengers who had only signed up for the afternoon and likewise drop off 2 passengers who’d only signed up for the morning half. This seemed very unfair to people who’d signed up and paid to do the full day and having time wasted in this way. We would have preferred to continue to St Remy de Provence and have some free time there - as it stood, we were walked through it by the guide Oliver for maybe 15-20 mins and given a little bit of pointless information to be quite frank. This was a missed opportunity and very frustrating. It was particularly more so given that the lunch stop had been in Fountaine de Vacluse where the season is effectively over and the village is minuscule, you don’t need 75 minutes here - it was a complete mismanagement of time, particularly when we didn’t get to actually visit Gordes itself, only the viewpoint. Similar time wise with Roussillon - pretty but you don’t need to spend one hour there. Overall, this was an average tour which could have been so much better and didn’t need to be as long in certain places.
