I won’t recommend this company. Paid close to USD 1000 for 8 people private tour booked 3 weeks in advance so plenty of prep time. The driver arrives late by 30 mins than promised, no poster with our names, no AC in the car, the car struggles going faster on mountains. I won’t blame the driver, as he said he was told at a last minute to take us. The driver was supposed to be a tour guide, but he mostly explained cities in the van, and left us to explore the area on our own.

An amazing day excursion! Laurent, our driver and guide was very careful, funny, generous and informative. He was aware to bring us to small places, telling interesting stories. Even if must have been very tiring for hem, he spöken french to is (otur request) and explained in French what we did not understood. Best recommendations!

We had an amazing time with Sam! He's thoughtful and funny and knows a lot about the region. We focused on small villages and had plenty of time in each. The highlight for me was seeing Lacoste after being a student there 30 years ago- a total treat to finally make it back. The market in Apt was also good. It felt like a mix of stuff for locals as well as tourists. With Sam's help we were able to find some real treats from the region.
I requested a private family tour so that we could practice our rusty french and Sam was more than accommodating. He spoke to us slowly and clearly and was not bothered by having to switch back into english when we were stumped. It was like an intensive french course and we had a blast! If trying out your french is not your thing, just do the trip in english. It'll be fantastic either way.
