A wonderful tour - We have a wonderful time on the Aix en Provence, Cassis and Marseille private tour. So glad to have Pierre as our guide. Pierre is knowledgeable, attentive and flexible in conducting the tour. We’ve learned so much about Aix, Cassis and Marseille on different aspects. The itinerary was well arranged. We could just sit back, relax and enjoy. As I go through the pictures we took during the tour, I can see big smiles on our faces. We were lucky to be able to book this private tour at the last minute. The tour was beyond our expectation. Thank you so much, Pierre!

Jenny Was Fun - Jenny was a lot of fun. She was a good tour guide and a great driver too as she drove a stick-shift peugeot. There were eight of us on this tour and our first stop was Aix-on-Provence where there were many shops and a wonderful farmers market. Jenny introduced us to a variety of cheeses and vegetables and herbs. She had a good knowledge of herds, suggesting certain herbs for teas. Jenny then took us to Cassis as we drove through the wineries. As we drove, she pointed out the majestic rock formations. She then drove to a high visual point over looking Cassis and the coastline. The views were amazing. We stopped in Cassis where we visited more shops and restaurants. Jenny then took us to the church of Notre Dame with beautiful views. We then drove through Marseille and back to the ship. Jenny was very personable and informative. She was well liked.

Fantastic Day in Provence with Clem and Bonjour Provence Tours. - So we were on a cruise with a stop in Marseille. None of the cruise ship excursion offerings interested us so I looked up and found Bonjour Provence in TripAdvisor. After reading a few reviews and exchanging a couple of emails, we decided to hire one of their cars for a private tour to Aix-Provence and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine region. Silvio of Bonjour Tours was easy to work with and spoke perfect English when we spoke on the phone. Since they did not have an itinerary that fit our wants, Silvio told me not to worry and that once the driver picked us up we could curate our own tour. The price was reasonable for a private car for the two of us so we went for it. Precisely on time, we walked off our ship and stepped into a beautiful BMW that wished us away from the cruise terminal. Clem [Clement] was our driver who knew the roads and got us out of Marseille quickly. As Silvio said, we quickly modified the scheduled trip and took off in the other direction from Cassis and Marseille. First stop was Aix-Provence, which we didn't think looked interesting in the brochures. We were surprised. What a marvelous town. Clem took us to the center and we all walked around the plazas, the fountains and shops for over an hour exploring, nibbling on goodies and learning about this area of Provence from Clem. Then back to the car and off to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine region, which was a long way from the cruise terminal. Because of the importance of the wines from that region we decided to stretch to visit it. We were not disappointed. Clem took us to a winery that had a restaurant high on a hill. While we gazed over the Rhône River and the amazing vistas of hundreds of acres of vineyard, we were served a delicious lunch on an outdoor patio. Our hosts curated our lunch selections with local wines, each better than the last. When we were full and a little tipsy, we walked over to the winery where we sampled more wine and made a few selections to take home. When we were done, I texted Clem, who brought our car around. In the car, Clem asked if we would like to visit another winery that was special. He said they didn't have a reservation slot for us, but we went there anyway where Clem used his charm to get us a tasking. That was an amazing and wholly unscripted stop. The wine was fantastic and we bought a case that the winery kindly shipped to the US. Since we were far from the coast, and quite full, Clem took us back to Marseille in time to meet our ship's boarding time. I was disappointed that Bonjour Provence Tours weren't in every one of our stops on the cruise. Bonjour Provence Tours was an amazing and friendly host that took the extra step to make our visit unique and special. We were far from the cattle car of a cruise ship excursion. At every step Clem and Bonjour Provence Tours treated us with the highest level of service and professionalism. If we ever return to Provence, we will be working with them again. Bonjour Silvio and Clem - until next time.

Informative and delightful tour for our family in Provence area - Our recent tour experience with Eugenie was nothing short of magical! From the charming landscapes of Provence to the breathtaking beauty of Cassis and the vibrant energy of Marseille, Eugenie made every moment memorable. What sets Eugenie apart is not just her expertise and enthusiasm but her genuine care for her guests. She tailored the experience to our interests, ensuring we not only saw the must-visit landmarks but also uncovered the local secrets that make each place unique. Eugenie's insights into the local cuisine were a delightful bonus! Whether savoring Provencal specialties or enjoying fresh seafood in Cassis, she guided us to culinary delights that will forever linger in our memories. Thank you, Eugenie, for turning our family trip into an extraordinary adventure. Your passion, professionalism, and infectious positivity truly made this tour an experience of a lifetime.
