We spent the day with 7 other people touring Provence. Our driver was excellent! He stopped at several extra pull-offs for picture taking. He was a good guide and knowledgeable about all of the towns we stopped at. We especially loved touring the Froganaurd Perfume Factory. All of the villages were different and lovely for different reasons.

The villages were beautiful but I would not call this a tour. The tour guide was lovely but his role in the "tour" was to drive us from place to place and then let us out to wonder around. The tour happened to be on a Monday when many shops and galleries are closed so there was nothing to do at at least 3 of the towns. Not sure why they would offer this tour on a Monday in the first place when everything is closed. After walking around we ended up sitting and waiting for the driver to pick us up. I may have misunderstood the nature of this tour but was expecting a tour guide to show us around and provide some history about each village. We had rented a car in France so could have easily driven ourselves to all these destinations without a tour.

guide was nice but reversed the the order of the stops and i had specifically booked this tour to see the last stop for the longest period of time and another stop in grasse for the shortest period of time and these were reversed. as a result all of the galleries and shops in st Paul de vence were closed and Grasse was dirty and seedy and I did not want to do the perfume tour and we spent the longest time in this village. I was very disappointed and it is not what I paid for.

Would do it again! Highly recommend. Explored several villages … lovely! Loved the perfume factory tour… Froganard. Friendly driver.

Excellent day with Lauren in charge- flexible and sensible with the order of the day. Informative but not too overwhelming!
