Our guide Laurent was a terrific guide. He was friendly, and incredibly insightful and knowledgeable with every place we visited. He tirelessly introduced and explained the history/facts of sites, monuments and areas. Laurent made the entire day an enjoyable experience. We were all comfortable and felt the day was easy and relaxed. We recommend Laurent to anyone looking to enjoy a day visiting and being charmed by Luberon villages.

Our guide, Laurent Nurisso, was excellent. We actually did three full day tours including the tiny hilltop villages tour from Gordes to Lourmarin, Marseille, Cassis, Nice, and Cannes, among other cities. It was historical, educational, fun and a real exhilarating workout, too! On future trips to France, we would definitely use OohProvence again and strongly recommend them!!

We had the best time in Provence thanks to Laurent! We did a 2 day tour: Marsielle and Cassis for day 1 and Luberon villages for day 2. My sister and I wanted a full Provence experience since this was our first time, and Ooh Provence modified the tours to accommodate our requests (e.g., we stopped by the Abbey in Gordes). On the first day we did a walking tour of old Marseilles and the port, drove up the cathedral and a cliff for beautiful panoramic views, had a relaxing lunch in Cassis and did a walking tour. On the second day we visited three charming Luberon villages: Gordes, Roussillon, and Lourmarin. We walked around each of them, had lunch and explored the mine in Rousillon , and ended the day strolling around Lourmarin. The tours were paced perfectly to give us enough time to enter cute shops, eat and share stories, and even grab cool drinks at a cafe by the end of the day. It felt like we were being shown around by a good friend. We were glad to have Laurent as our tour guide. He was very knowledgable and shared the history, architecture, and many fun facts about each location. He also took great care of his us, down to little things: offered cold water throughout the day ( the cooler in the car was a great idea during the hot weather), brought our luggage straight to the hotel separately for our convenience, made a lunch reservation so that we wouldn’t have to wait too long to be seated, shared life stories that made the tour much more personal, and we felt very safe that we accidentally fell asleep in the care ride due to jetlag (apparently he was sharing some trivia about our surrounding but we weren’t responding hahaha sorry laurent! 🤣), and offered help when the cobblestones were quite slippery going downhill the villages. Would 11/10 recommend taking a tour with Laurent and Chris!

What a wonderful day out! The Luberon is absolutely stunning, especially Ménerbes. Chris and Laurent's planning was just perfect and they are super friendly and full of local knowledge. Everything was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. Thank you OohProvence.

Deux excursions en deux journées complètes avec Laurent en Provence (les villages et l'excursion oenologique). C'est un homme très savant et sympathique, avec un très bon sens de l'humour. Le rythme détendu des excursions, ainsi que ses explications détaillées nous ont permis d'approfondir notre appréciation culturelle de Provence. C'était une expérience inoubliable et stimulatrice, avec beaucoup de rires aussi. Il nous manque tellement, jusqu'à notre prochain voyage en Provence!
