The villages are... - The villages are beautiful, very pretty , sitting on a hill by the seaside! Our guide Sara was amazing, she had lots of interesting information and took good care! We had a great day.

Nice tour of the countryside - We really enjoyed yourselves, however the number of participants should be limited to 7 passengers. With eight, one poor unlucky soul is required to sit in the middle between the driver and front passenger. If you are over 4 feet tall, you will have a big problem, as the Mercedes van has no legroom when sitting behind the center console. That issue aside, we had a great time and the tour guide was excellent. You visit several charming towns in the French countryside and have time to explore. The tour guide was knowledgeable and tour was a good value.

Great tour of the Luberon - Travelling in a small group through the Luberon was quite special. We were not restricted by travelling in a large group with a guide and free to explore the lovely villages. We were on a cruise and returned to the ship in good time despite an unanticipated hold up

The best tour ever! Thank you - So many! The best part was our tour guide Jocelyn, he customized the tour for us. Jocelyn took us to small villages of the beaten path, made us feel like family.

Tour operator great...tour time needs work. - Tour operator was very sweet and informative. Was wonderful in making a very short 5 minute stop at the lavender fields on our way to one of the villages. Would not necessarily recommend this exact tour based on the time allotted at each location. Would have preferred to visit two of the villages and have time to walk around and spend at each. As it was, we had only 40 minutes at two of the locations and less than and hour and twenty minutes for our lunch location...definitely did not feel that we could have enjoyed lunch and walk around to see the village in the time allotted so we had to rush a quick meal to visit the town. Felt very rushed. The villages are beautiful, but if you really want time to enjoy them, book a private tour or ask ahead of time if you can visit only your top two to actually get to experience them. Tour operator was very punctual and needed us to leave at a specific time, telling us we needed to ensure the time frame to get back to our cruise on time. After 30 minutes driving, tour operator was called and asked to go back to pick up another group that had car trouble. She then assured us that we had the extra hour to go back and pick them up and still get back to the boat. We were happy to go back (we would have wanted someone to do the same for us) but after a day of feeling like we didn't get as much time as we would have liked, felt like the time frame was rushed unnecessarily. In total, spent approx. 5 hours in the van and only 3 hours actually at the villages.

Beautiful village tour - My family took this tour and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The scenery is magnificent. We had heard stories that the port of Marseilles was a boring cruise stop, so we almost just stayed on the ship. So glad we didn't. This tour is a little pricey, but you get to see several beautiful villages that are breathtaking. You also get a few photo stops at some amazing viewpoints. We toured a castle, walked through villages, saw the ochre mountains, had time for lunch in one of the villages, etc. The only negative for this trip was that our tour guides didn't give us as much information as we would have liked about the area. It was a pretty quiet drive, although they were very friendly and kind. It turned out to be one of our favorite stops on the cruise.

Should have been better than it was - This was our first time going "off tour" with our cruise ship, meaning not taking a tour with Princess. While we did return back on time, a big, huge plus, the tour itself fell short. First of all, it was difficult to identify our driver. Strike 1. Signage was POOR and took us too long to find our driver/tour guide in the port!!! Second, the vehicle was extremely small, 8 people plus the driver was extremely tight. Strike 2. Third, commentary was limited, it seemed more like a driver than tour guide, strike 3. Over all just so-so. It should of and could of been so much better. However, we will try Viator on another venue because usually they are great!

Love the drive, disappointing language barrier. - I especially enjoyed walking through the old village of Eze. A small group tour is definitely best. Although our tour guide was very knowledgeable, I was disappointed in the level of English. I was only able to make out a small amount. Disappointing when you pay for an English guide and can't understand.

Poor Tour Experience - Tour guide was unprofessional, dressed inappropriately and provided little information on the best things to see in the villages. Second village was not worth seeing and we should have spent more time in Rousseau. Also, her vehicle broke down causing us to miss our last stop, and causing anxiety about getting back to the cruise ship on time.
