We saw so many sights in one day and somehow it didn't seem too rushed. The villages were beautiful. Lea, our guide, was a good driver and very friendly. She gave us a lot of information along the way. My only criticism of her would be that there were a couple of occasions where she would forget a few facts- but I understand that she is new to the tourism industry so that will improve. I'm also thankful that she said she forget, instead of just making stuff up. Everything considered I would 100% recommend this tour.

A very full day exploring a variety of different places. Lucy was a great driver and guide, informing us of the history of the places we visited. We saw so much but we’re never rushed. Had plenty of time for a nice lunch in Fontaine de Vaucluse. We were the only two people booked an the tour and we were surprised that it went ahead and we had the van and Lucy to ourselves. What a bonus.

Cherry was an excellent guide and we really enjoyed learning about the various sites, Roman history and even some French culture. We would highly recommend this trip, as we saw so much more in a single day, then we could have seen in 2-3 days, and the information provided was great

Very nice activity! I recommend for anyone with little time to visit Provence. Our guide was excellent! As we were in low season, we were only 2 in the activity. Our guide was kind enough to personalize our visits according to our tastes and the season.

Thierry is a kind and knowledgeable guide. He took great care of us and taught us so much about the area. We loved the tour!
