Don’t miss this experience - If I could give this tour more that five starts I would. We have been traveling in Italy//france/spain for a week. This is hands down the best activity we did. Kevin (our guide) was fun, safe, and friendly. The winery portion was beautiful and yummy. He also made a stop at a lavender farm just because i briefly mentioned it. He helped us get back to our cruise ship safely and on time. Cannot recommend enough !!!! Book today !

Wonderful half day tour - Kevin was our wonderful tour guide for the afternoon ! It was definitely a fun thing to do whilst staying in aix en Provence and the vineyards that we visited were beautiful and had some great rose wines of course . The girls conducting the wine tasting were very professional and knowledgeable and we were really interested to learn all about the vineyards . Kevin also took us to some beautiful lavender fields which had a shop where you could buy any lavender products . We were given lavender ice cream and lavender water ! The scenery in the mountains was really beautiful . I would really recommend this tour with Kevin or his business partner who we also got to meet and he was equally lovely .

Magnifique! - Eric and Kevin were fantastic hosts and provided an amazing experience for me and 3 girlfriends. They picked us up in the centre of Aix-en-Provence, and took us on a breathtaking tour of the countryside. We were the only guests at the first winery, Bonisson, which is also a small art gallery. We enjoyed all of the wines and the beautiful setting, and can't imagine a more fun and adventurous way to experience Provence.

A great tour to see it all! - Eric was great, made us feel immediately comfortable and was relaxed on the itinerary and timings. The tour was perfect, we got to see lavender, sunflowers and two wineries. The scenery is stunning and the bike element added some fun. Thank you!

Best way to wine taste in Aix. - We had an incredible time with Eric - the tour was such a pleasant surprise. The setting is incredible and the drive was smoothe and felt very safe. The wineries we went to were perfect and Eric was patient, took plenty of photos for us. He also gave us tons of recommendations for restaurants and bars and even made us a reservation. Must do for a vacation in Aix!

Perfect way to see the countryside and taste some wines - We had the best time zipping through the countryside with our guide, Kevin. We stopped at an organic lavender farm and two very different wineries, both were great experiences with delicious wines. Kevin was right on time and navigated the crazy city streets to get us to the open road where we enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful landscape outstide of Aix. We had so much fun and really enjoyed meeting Kevin and gearing his stories. Great time!

Don’t sleep on the sidecar - I never want to wine taste in a boring van at some big commercial winery again. This tour absolutely spoiled that for me. Kevin took my husband and I all around Aix on his sidecar today, and I couldn’t help but have a big stupid grin on my face all day. Ripping through the countryside on a sleek black motorcycle will do that to you, I guess. In our time together, we saw two wineries, a lavender field, the Saint Vincente mountain range, and the highlands of a local town. I have never really gotten to ride on a motorcycle, so this tour was living out a bucket list item in the most scenic area. I felt really safe the entire time and my husband and I had a great time learning about life here in Aix/France. MERCI KEVIN!! hope to do another tour with you again.

Must do it Provence! - This tour was incredible, highly recommend! It was a great way to see the country side and see the towns. The vineyards were all high quality and authentic, and generous with their tastings. We also didn’t feel pressured to buy anything, which was a plus. Our driver and guide, Kevin, was superb. He was fun, personable, safe, and entertaining. He also took us to a lavender field since it was in season, which was unexpected but made the trip. Definitely worth the money!
