It is a pretty well trip, we went to a lot of places we could never go without the guide and the car. I like the guide, he is a super nice cute young guy and the funniest part is that he said my friend is the second french person ever on this trip, so all french people drive there???? hahahahahaha.

Nice tour of Provence but less lavender than expected. we did do photo stops in multiple fields and the Lavender Museum which were nice. However, the field stops were photos for maybe 15min and the bulk of time was a market in St Remy and lunch in Rouisslon. Both nice, but not as much lavender as the tour name implies.

Excellent guide. Really enjoyed her tour. Learned alot about the area as well as the lavender growing, industry and history in the Luberon region. Well worth the time and money spent doing this tour, would definitely recommend to anyone interested not only in lavender but also the towns and lifestyle living in this area... beautiful country!
