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.

Purple in the fields - The lavender Abby absolutely stunning All good round trip Guide very good Short drives to lovely places

A great day filled with history and scenic views - Pepe was a delightful and knowledgeable guide, who took the time to explain some of the extensive history that exists in the region. Fountain de Vaucluse was a delight, the water so clear, and the village clean and quiet, even though many visitors seem to come every day. The views from Roussillion were spectacular, and provided a better understanding of what it meant to build defensive hilltop towns away from invaders more than a thousand years ago! It was a long and full day, and well worth the time investment!

Truly a spectacular tour and well worth the money - We took several tours during our recent stay in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. The Luberon Market and village tours starting point was in Aix-en-Provence. Of all the tours we took, this was our favorite. If I could give this tour an extra star I would. Our tour guide and driver, Arnaud from the tour company A la Francasie" was outstanding. His english was flawless, his driving abilities superb, his knowledge of the locations was impressive and he was always available to taking priceless photos of those on the tour. Thank you Arnaud for being such an outstanding guide. The van utilized was first class, comfortable seats and air conditioning worked flawlessly. The people on the tour were very friendly and fun to tour with. The highlights of the tour was the locations we were able to visit: Gordes, Lourmarin, Roussillon and Abbaye Notre Dame de Senanque and the Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Each location had its distinct characteristics and each location was charming in many different ways. The only downside of the tour was that it ended and we had to leave the Provence area and return to the states. If you only have time to take one tour, this is the tour I would recommend. We really enjoyed the other tours we took, to include the sunset lavendar fields tour, but this tour stood out from the others as being truly amazing through and through.

Very enjoyable day trip - Visiting great towns in French countryside. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the journey enjoyable. Our stops were fun and we were allotted time to explore on our own.

Definitely recommend this tour - We had a great day with our tour guide, Arnaud who was very informative and funny. The car was very comfortable for our small group. We loved all the villages and had enough time for pictures, shopping and eating. This was a great way to see some beautiful areas and not worry about driving.

Trip Highlight! - Arnoud was so good to us! A great driver and very personable. I wish I sat in the front seat to hear all the history! This tour was packed full of things but I wouldn’t have cut anything out. Will recommend to friends who are visiting.

Luberon Village Tour - A fantastic tour visiting many beautiful villages in the Luberon region. Bernardo was a great guide throughout the tour.

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