Fantastic day! - We really loved this tour - it was the perfect mix of information and free time. Veronica is a wonderful guide - very friendly and helpful. We had 4 stops and at each one, she would give us recommendations on what to do and see and then turn us loose for anywhere between 45 min and 2 hours depending on the stop. For us, that’s the perfect formula - getting the info we need and then exploring on our own. If you are looking for a completely guided tour, this probably isn’t for you, but for us, it worked great. En route to each stop, Veronica told us about Provence and the Luberon Valley. We were blessed with a great group too - everyone was on time at each stop and nice and friendly. One couple even brought their two year old who was an absolute trooper! Just a wonderful day out with someone else doing the driving : )

This tour is perfect for... - This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to see Luberon hill towns without renting a car. Our guide, Nicolai (sp?) was fantastic. He pointed out interesting sites and history; gave us maps of each town when needed; gave clear instructions for meeting up again - and then let us explore at our own pace. Highly recommended.

If you are hesitant about mini van tours, give Provans Tours a try! Luberon day trip tour is great - We went on the Luberon day trip and thoroughly enjoyed it! I had never been on a small group mini van tour before and was hesitant. Nico was a great guide and his years of experience showed in so many ways. For example at each stop we received a map to guide us as we walked around the small villages on our own. On our drive to each village Nico gave us background information on each and also answered questions we had about the region. The stops we made were very well planned - just the right number of stops and a good length of time at each stop. We had enough time to wander around each town and not feel rushed. I'm so glad we went on Provans Luberon tour and got to visit a number of villages. I highly recommend this specific tour!

Great landscapes, scenic villages, very pleasant guide - It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience which we can unconditionally recommend to everybody. Our guide Nicolas was great: very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. He had the right balance of giving us guidance and advice, and free time to discover places on our own. The stunning landscapes and scenic villages we visited are an unforgettable experience.

A Relaxed and Colourful day trip. - We were fortunate to get on this trip with Veronica as had only booked it a week or so before. We had a great day made all the more interesting as Veronica is an excellent guide with all the info we needed and delivered in a friendly, humorous way. She told us a bit about herself then invited us all to do likewise which helps strangers get to know one another. Plenty of time at each of the beautiful four villages with viewing tips for photos and places to eat. Most enjoyable with a pleasant group of international travellers. Thanks Veronica, you are a great driver too. Donna and Warren

Day trip to the Luberon hilltop villages - Veronica of Prov Vans took us for our day tour of the Luberon hilltop villages, Fonteyn Vaucluse, Gordes, Roussillon snd Menerbes. The villages were just beautiful and even though it was a full day trip with 8 people in the very comfortable van, the day went very quickly. A great way to sit back and enjoy a lovely day. Veronica was so lovely and we loved spending the day with her. Excellent driver, charming and we very much appreciated her company. We recommend this day tour through this family business. Merci beaucoup.

A day trip in the Luberon hilltop villages - Firstly, it was so easy to communicate with ProVan tours. They were extremely prompt in responding to my inquiries. We went on a group tour with Nico who was charming. We went to four different villages and he explained the history and different charm of each one. When we stopped for lunch he recommended several different restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed this day and give it the highest ratings!!
