Family Trip! - Wonderful tour showcasing places we would not have gone to on our own. Highly recommend the Abbey in particular - our guide was right to get there early! Veronica was great with the kids too.

Great experience and beautiful scenery - Almost the end of the lavender season but the tour guide Nicolas helped us find a few beautiful spots. Schedule a little bit tight tho.

Highlight of our trip to Avignon! - The tour with Nicholas was the highlight of our trip to Avignon. We did the Purple Tour and had an amazing time. Nicholas is funny, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The itinerary was thoughtful, with each stop just a short, scenic drive away, and we had plenty of time to explore each village comfortably. The lavender fields were unforgettable. We visited Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque early before the crowds, then headed to a secret spot Nicholas and his wife discovered—with the most stunning violet lavender views. He’s also a great photographer and took beautiful photos for everyone throughout the day. We visited a lavender farm where Nicholas has known the owner for years and saw workers preparing fresh bouquets. The local shop he took us to had some of the best lavender products I’ve seen. Nicholas made the whole group feel welcome and kept the vibe relaxed and fun. Truly one of the best tours I’ve ever been on!

Friendly Guide, Stunning Lavender, Great Memories - A wonderful journey, especially if you’re passionate about lavender! Our tour guide was incredibly friendly and helpful. As a solo traveler, I was a bit worried about taking good photos — but he was more than happy to help, and the pictures turned out amazing. I also really appreciated the visit to the lavender factory he arranged. The lavender fields in Sault were my absolute favorite — wide, vibrant, and deeply purple. Definitely an experience worth trying while in Avignon!

Fantastic tour and tour guide! - The trip to the lavender fields was amazing - such beautiful views and time to explore other villages in the Luberon. But what made the tour was Nicholas - he was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

Another wonderful tour out, this time to the Lavender Fields - Another awesome and very interesting day out with Nicolas showing us different lavender fields. The view of the Sénanque Abbey in the lavender fields was breathtaking and so were the impressions we had in Gordes and Roussillon. This was a very inspiring tour with many photos taken. Something else to remember and recommend!

Simply perfect - Veronica was simply the best. So knowledgeable and a joy to talk with. It was incredibly hot during our day out so she made sure we were able to see the lavender fields early while it was slightly cooler, and then in the afternoon non after seeing the gorgeous lavender at the Abbey and beautiful towns of Gourdes and Roussillon, detoured to a small village with a fresh water spring to put our feet in and cool off before heading back to Avignon. It was a perfect day to celebrate my spouses birthday. Couldn’t ask for anything more perfect. Thank you Veronica for putting your heart into these tours.

Perfect day - Highlight of our Provence Trip - We had a delightful day with Veronica. She had lots of great tips for each place we visited - what to do and what to avoid. She managed time extremely well, which allowed us to make to most of the day. It was extremely hot during our day, and she had water for our group of 8. She knew the area quite well and organized our stops to avoid large crowds as much as possible. Highly recommend this full day adventure to not only see lavender but also visit Gordes and Roussillon.
