I've not done a private tour in Europe before, but have done several big coach tours in Spain, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Did a couple in the Far East. I was not sure what to expect, especially how long the day was. We departed from Marseille, our driver/guide, Sebastien picked us up promptly and drove us to Aix to pick up a few more companions. He drove brilliantly and was full of passion and humour, even at 7.30pm. Our tour was full. The Mercedes minibus was nice, and could sit 8 passengers. Unfortunately, one of the spaces (next to the driver) had no legroom. They should really have been given some compensation for this, we drove around 200 miles!!! The tour was everything I hoped for, and a little bit more. I prefer to see more, rather than stay in the same place for a long time. Les Baux - we were driven first to the most wonderful viewpoint, then we had just over an hour in Les Baux, it was nice there. Avignon - we parked at the coach park and walked to the main square and had around 1.5 hours of free time. I went out and crossed the river to get a photo from the other side, this didn't leave me much time to spare! Pont du Gard - this was my primary reason for taking the tour. I couldn't find an alternative tour from Marseille/Aix and public transport seemed sketchy. It was amazing, we had almost an hour free time there and I managed to see what I wanted to in that time. I would have loved to do more, but I was satisfied. Chateauneuf du Pape - the wine tasting I wasn't sure about when I saw the itinerary, I've never been to a vineyard before, so thought "might as well". I'd say it was the least interesting part of the tour, we walked around the vineyard and had the varieties of grapes and the soil explained (pretty pointless for me) but the view of Mont Ventoux from there was excellent! Then we tasted some of the wines from the estate. After this, we went to the ruins of the Pope's new castle - it was a brief stop, but probably not necessary - could have just shown us a photo. I thought it was money well spent. Sebastien and the lovely travel companions really made this a special day!

Adrien our driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history, geography and culture of the region. His pleasant demeanour and sense of humour added to the enjoyment of an amazing tour. Thank you Adrien. Avignon and Les Baux de Provence were historically interesting and very beautiful.

Enjoyable tour of the highlights of the Provence region. Lucie was a knowledgeable guide giving us many historical facts of the area allowing us to enjoy the sites without worry of getting place to place.

Mary_C

Lucie was just great! She had a microphone and excellently explained sites, relevant information and wonderful stories about the sites we passed and our upcoming tours. She was fabulous! All guides should emulate her! She is a superstar tour guide!!

Les Baux-de-Provence was a very interesting medieval village and the historic Roman Aqueduct was well worth seeing. Next stop was Avignon where there was an abundance of things to do and see in the time available. However, I could have done without the last stop at the winery. The three tastings offered were of younger wines that were not appealing. This stop made the day exceptionally long resulting in the return to Aix, and for those from Marseille, very late.

Susan_P

A great combination of guided touring and solo roaming. Sebastian told stories and provided historical detail as we drove from place to place. A perfect opportunity to discover some charming towns in Provence. The wine tasting was a great bonus.

Lucie was very informatibe. Visiting historic Baux was a highlight. Chateauneuf du Papes wine tasting was fun and educational. Avignon was charming. This experience involves a lot of wAlking and climbing stairs.

A long day but well worth the tour. Lucie was amazing, she could talk about anything we asked. Pont du Gard was especially interesting as was the wine tasting at Chateau Neuf du Pape. Le Baux had wonderful vistas and good shopping if that is your interest. Avignon was the stop we could have done without. Would recommend this to friends.
