My favorite part of the trip was Elias trying to give us the best experience possible. On a scale of 1-10 he’s a 11! Meeting Francois at her organic lavender farm of many generations was very meaningful. She was very gracious and generous. Thank you Elias for giving Will and me a lifetime memory. You are an amazing young man and we wish you the best. The Californians

Elias was a wonderful guide. Passionate about the area and the Organic Lavender farm. As this was a bucket list experience for me, he helped it exceed my expectations! Françoise, the farm owner, was equally wonderful. Their combined enthusiasm was contagious! And the homemade lavender ice cream - manifique!

Loved this tour. We were picked up at the port waiting area. There was a traffic jam but I was called via Whatsapp and informed. We were taken to an olive farm where we tried olive oil and lavender ice cream. Then we went to the fields of Valensole where the lavenders were in full bloom. We were then taken to a small town where we could get lunch. Overall a nice trip, we were lucky it was good timing since the bloom window is from mid June to mid July only

This was a great tour! Beautiful fields and Luci was knowledgeable and engaging. Found some out of the way places to visit. Easy pickup and only 7 of us on the tour.

My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much. It was a great experience. This tour is amazing and unforgettable. Nathalie was the best tour guide who we have ever had. She explained in English well, gave us more information about Provence, Lavender, immortal flowers, olive etc. which we had not hear before. She was funny, friendly and customer oriented. We took a lot of beautiful pictures. She informed us about Burratta with Truffel and Lavender ice cream. We had a stop in the small city center of Valensole for a lunch. I ordered Buratta with Truffel and three types of tomatoes: red, yellow and green one with yellow pattern. Then, I tried a Lavender ice cream. Both of them were very delicious ! Unfortunately, booking was so complicated, We tried to book via Internet, but I did not work. The tour was over booked. We called someone from the US, but she was so difficult to understand. After waiting and chatting an Agent gave me the link for booking shared tour. Thanks a lot to Emilie, who called us and organized the pick Up.

Our driver was fabulous, the fields were lovely, we got so much more then we expected! We saw poppy fields, sage, lavender, and coriander. Thomas knew all the best spots that were not crowded at all. He was able to tell us about the history of the area as well and the best local products.
