Beautiful experience -... - Beautiful experience - our driver and guide (Benoit/"Ben") was fantastic! He was super helpful explaining in English as we went along and brought a positive attitude throughout the entire experience. We loved seeing local lavender producers and learning about the process, as well as seeing some of Provence's most beautiful villages!

Perfect! Do not miss Paolo’s tour! - Paolo was absolutely the best guide and driver! Clear communications for English and local French speakers. He had a relationship with the lavender farmers and knew ‘surprise’ off the regular tourist fields. Timing was perfect. Great driver! Bring water!!!! And sun screen and clothes. Scorching sun now in the fields.

Beautiful and educational lavender tour - This is a beautiful southern France country side and lavender and experience. I never saw so many dark purple colored lavender fields. During the visit to the farm, we also learned and experienced the difference between lavender and lavendin. Their colors and functions difference.

Such a dreamy day in the lavender! - The dreamiest day in France! Our guides had 2 vans and drove us from Marseille to Valensole and the areas nearby. The lavender was in full bloom in mid-July, and the fields were simply amazing! The fields delighted all of the senses—the intoxicating smell, the buzz of the bees, the intense purples, and the tickle of the stems touching our legs. The beauty of it all filled our hearts with joy. Our guides took us to several fields and drove us by many more. We visited a farm that grew lavender, grapes, flowers, olives and kept honey bees. We were able to taste all of their delights and buy some of our own. As we headed into the mountains, we witnessed even more beauty. We had lunch in a high mountain village, before heading to a gorgeous lake. Our guides were very friendly and informative, and were very careful as they drove through the mountain roads. We finished our tour on time and we were so thankful for such a dreamy day!

Awesome tour guide with amazing lavender fields - Ines was a very pleasant, friendly, and safe driver who took us to two beautiful fully blooming lavender fields, which was the highlight of our trip. We also enjoyed visiting too small picturesque villages and a nice lake. It was a hot and sunny day, but this was a very interesting and fun trip because of the awesome tour guide and great scenery.

Not worth the long drive.... - The guide was very accommodating, however; our goal was to see the lavender fields and we only found one field in bloom. We traveled by train from Avignon, then took a taxi to the hotel, 3+ miles away. Little did we know that we'd spend over 3.5 hours (r/t) driving in a full van. Marseille traffic is horrible - not worth the time nor money with a guide/driver who was a employee hired during the tourist season and it was his first day on the job. Not his fault - I blame the tour company.
