Great tour of the Luberon - Travelling in a small group through the Luberon was quite special. We were not restricted by travelling in a large group with a guide and free to explore the lovely villages. We were on a cruise and returned to the ship in good time despite an unanticipated hold up

Great tour - Lea was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable, had great historical stories and legends to share, and was a pleasure to be with. She was also a great driver, and we always felt safe in the very nice, spacious, air-conditioned van. We loved visiting the Luberon villages. Each one was beautiful and unique in its own way.

Tour operator great...tour time needs work. - Tour operator was very sweet and informative. Was wonderful in making a very short 5 minute stop at the lavender fields on our way to one of the villages. Would not necessarily recommend this exact tour based on the time allotted at each location. Would have preferred to visit two of the villages and have time to walk around and spend at each. As it was, we had only 40 minutes at two of the locations and less than and hour and twenty minutes for our lunch location...definitely did not feel that we could have enjoyed lunch and walk around to see the village in the time allotted so we had to rush a quick meal to visit the town. Felt very rushed. The villages are beautiful, but if you really want time to enjoy them, book a private tour or ask ahead of time if you can visit only your top two to actually get to experience them. Tour operator was very punctual and needed us to leave at a specific time, telling us we needed to ensure the time frame to get back to our cruise on time. After 30 minutes driving, tour operator was called and asked to go back to pick up another group that had car trouble. She then assured us that we had the extra hour to go back and pick them up and still get back to the boat. We were happy to go back (we would have wanted someone to do the same for us) but after a day of feeling like we didn't get as much time as we would have liked, felt like the time frame was rushed unnecessarily. In total, spent approx. 5 hours in the van and only 3 hours actually at the villages.

Beautiful village tour - My family took this tour and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The scenery is magnificent. We had heard stories that the port of Marseilles was a boring cruise stop, so we almost just stayed on the ship. So glad we didn't. This tour is a little pricey, but you get to see several beautiful villages that are breathtaking. You also get a few photo stops at some amazing viewpoints. We toured a castle, walked through villages, saw the ochre mountains, had time for lunch in one of the villages, etc. The only negative for this trip was that our tour guides didn't give us as much information as we would have liked about the area. It was a pretty quiet drive, although they were very friendly and kind. It turned out to be one of our favorite stops on the cruise.

Poor Tour Experience - Tour guide was unprofessional, dressed inappropriately and provided little information on the best things to see in the villages. Second village was not worth seeing and we should have spent more time in Rousseau. Also, her vehicle broke down causing us to miss our last stop, and causing anxiety about getting back to the cruise ship on time.
