Wonderful Provence tour in air conditioned van! - Visiting the Provence towns were amazing on the tour! Sebastian and his wife were great tour guides with insights to the towns we visited. Helpful with the maps they provided for exploring each town at our own pace and interests. Recommends!

Visit beautiful French villages without driving and parking stress - I loved my day visiting 4 villages of Luberon! I chose to go on a Friday since that is when Lourmarin has their market. My guide was wonderful and she even did the tour in French as well, since I am learning though I was the only one there who requested the tour originally in French. The info was useful and interesting and she answered all our questions (I wish I remembered her name, this was a few months ago now). We were a group of 6 and got to know each other a bit, but we also had our free time in the villages to explore. We had enough time, I think. I went on this trip solo and would recommend to anyone! I rented a car during this trip, but felt more at ease being taken from village to village by a professional and local.

Best way to see Luberon villages - We booked this tour through Viator but learnt that A La Francaise has locations throughout the country as well so maybe checkout their website too. Our guide was Rémy and he was brimming with knowledge, funny and engaging. He was exceptional at navigating driving through the narrowest and windiest of tiny hilltop towns in a small mini bus with a group of 8 of us. Really don’t bother attempting to drive yourself, you will never be able to get anywhere close to parking near town. We stopped at Lourmarin for market day where we were given 2 hours to independently explore. We bought ourselves an impressive picnic because the cheese, charcuterie, fresh fruit and tomatoes were all irresistible. Next Roussillon was as charming a village as you’d expect and we sat down in the town square to enjoy our picnic before hiking to the top. Finally at Fontaine de Vaucluse we saw the most stunningly spectacular clear river. I wish to come back and kayak down it. We drove through Gordes which is pretty but mostly built around a grand 5 star hotel. I do wish to comeback next year and do a private tour of some of the other villages, but I really appreciated having larger chunks of time exploring these villages vs just driving through everything. Our last stop was the famous Abbey Senanque but to be honest this was the most commercial disappointing stop. However, I understand everyone is so keen on it that they have to include it in the tour. Besides the gift shop and the grounds, you don’t actually get to see any of the abbey itself! Remy being a wealth of other trivia taught us to order a pastisse aperitif right. He gave us 3 recommendations for restaurants in Aix and knocked it out of the ballpark on all 3. He was our favorite guide across all 2 weeks of tours we did in South of France.

One day to see the charming villages in Provence - Greg the driver and guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us a lot of history of Provence on the way. Each of the villages we visited were unique and different from each other. The itinerary is very well thought out and good for someone like us who only had a du or 2 to see Provence.

Beautiful hilltop villages - The villages were beautiful and the market was bigger than expected. A vibrant scene. The driver was a bit quiet. We were hoping for information about the history and culture of the villages prior to arriving at each one. That’s been our experience with other tours. This driver shared very little info.

Comprehensive - Great tour which covered all sites listed on itinerary (unlike some other unethical tour operators where the actual visit differs from stated itinerary).
