Lovely Luberon! - We had a fabulous day with PePe! He was very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. The villages of Leberon are beautiful! If only the day was a little longer.😃 We would definitely take this tour again. I would eat at the last stop instead of the middle because we didn’t have enough time to eat and see all of the town of Roussillon.

The best tour of our trip! - This tour was absolutely incredible. Our tour guide, Nicholas, was so knowledgeable and shared great stories and facts during the drive. We got to spend a bit of time in each of the little villages and explore on our own. We fell in love with the Provence region (especially Lourmarin!) and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

Fabulous full day exploring Provence's Luberon villages, market and Lavender fields - This day in Provence between several magical villages, experiencing a large local market, and catching the Lavender fields in full bloom was such a wonderful day. This was a small tour group and our guide Nicholas S was so informative and fun. We never felt rushed and I cannot think of anything I would have changed about this day. I highly recommend this tour.

Nice day in beautiful villages! - These towns are beautiful, and the views are spectacular! Each one is unique. The tour guide did a very good job. however, when we got our confirmation, we were given an itinerary for the day. It had several villages on it. We not did not go to half of them. In the afternoon, instead of going to another village, they took us to an olive oil factory with an opportunity to make purchases. We were not interested in this. however, the tour guide let us stay in another village, and she came and picked us up later.
