My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was a long day but our guide, David, made it a very interesting and informative one. The time spent in each of the villages was about right, and we didn’t feel rushed. The scenery was glorious!

Nickoli did a great job driving, taking care of everyone's needs, and made the day enjoyable as well ask entertaining and educational. He answered all the questions that anyone had. It was a wonderful day and we traveled more than 250 km. So even though we had a full van of eight guestsa and we were situated in the very back, they were comfortable. We had plenty of room and it was cool enough and we could hear what he was saying in the front seat. You know sometimes you don't have a clue as to what the guide is saying, that was not the case with Nikolai.m

This tour was a great way to see some wonderful towns in Provence when you’re short on time. The van was comfortable and it was nice to be in such a small group. Our guide Bridgette was fantastic. Very knowledgeable

SueDavison

Wonderful day with Brigette. Gordes and Rousillon were amazing. Also Le Baux and the Pont de Gard. So much history .

Anastasia_I

The tour covers several unique and beautiful places. You get to experience both culture and nature. Our guide Brigitte was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting facts about every place we've visited. The tour is well planned and gives you a good idea about Provence with its history, culture and breathtaking natural treasures. Thank you, Brigitte! Anastasia, Nell and Laura from Ukraine

After the originally planned full day tour of Palais des Papes and nearby Pont d’Avignon, we took advantage of our extra day in Avignon to take this full day of Provence that includes the most visited Pont du Gard (famous Roman aqueduct). To our pleasant surprise, this full day was packed with beautiful sites: Vaucluse town famous for its scenic waterfalls, old villages of Gordes, photogenic Roussillon’s hilltop/cliff village built on ochre rock, and more, all done at a leisurely pace. Although we could not fully understand the tour guide Brigitte (we do not know French), her detailed explanation of lots of facts helped us appreciate these towns, their products, and geology. What helped a lot were our homework about the points of interests the night before, her full explanation in the car (long enough ride time), our reading the signs at the sites, and simply viewing the scenery. Perfect weather was also a big help. Perhaps feeling our enthusiasm, Brigitte specially took us to the lavender fields (although blooming did not occur until July) and the inside of a nice, ornate church. We feel fortunate that we had the opportunity of taking this wonderful tour.

We didn't have a car, so this tour was ideal to check out highlights of Provence/Luberon Villages. Our only criticism was wasting time stopping at the Abbey when there was no lavender to see; the itinerary should have been adjusted based on the season. This would have allowed more time at Roussillon which felt rushed.

Excellent tour if you want to get a “taste” of Provence - the most beautiful places are included in this tour. Our guide David was amazing and very knowledgeable. It’s a very fast-paced trip with stops at different towns with max of 45 mins to enjoy. Definitely eat breakfast before hopping on this tour (better even, bring your own sandwich for lunch) cause you won’t eat till lunch. Lunch options might be very limited at your stops (there might not be enough time to sit down for proper lunch as the restaurant might be full or not serve the food fast enough; also lots of places are closed during lunch time in Provence).
