Great day had by all! - The tour provided a friendly, upbeat guide, air conditioned van, a look at Avignon's city streets and beautiful countryside on our drive, a stop to watch groups harvesting the grapes, and two education and tasty wine tours. The first was exceptional -- held in the cellar we received a detailed education on how this winery harvested, cultivated and produced the wine right down to the details of having to add sugar because of climate change soil conditions. We were given a lateral tasting and ample explanation about why the wines were different. The second tasting was less intimate, but equally enjoyable. Good wine! While driving, Jeremy, our tour guide taught us about the history of the region. It was well worth the cost because we couldn't have navigated these routes on our own.

Nice afternoon tour - We were excited about doing a wine tour in Avignon that did not take up the whole day, so this was perfect. One note, though. Eat lunch beforehand as this particular wine tasting tour did not offer food pairings, just wine. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and made an extra effort to connect with all of us. Highly recommend!

A great first time wine tour - Our guide was fantastic, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the wineries we visited and of course, the wines. 4 hours was a perfect length of time for us; not too long and not too short. I definitely recommend.

Provence Guided Walking / Driver Tour - Honeymoon - My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience A La Francaise Provence as a part of our honeymoon. We leveraged the business over the course of two days to assist with walking tours of Avignon and Saint Remy, trips to wineries Chateauneuf Du Lape and transportation services to and from our hotel. Overall, the experience was well organized, able to be flexed accordingly and fairly priced.
Our guide, Emile, was 10/10. He was kind, timely, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about an array of topics, answering any and all questions about the region we had (especially about wine!) We recommend his services to any individual, couple or group traveling to the Provence area. Additionally, he was an excellent driver, making my wife and I feel completely safe each time we joined him in the car, even through the tight streets of some smaller villages.
We will be sharing details of the company and experience with all friends and family looking to book trips to the region in the future.

A little disappointed. I'm sorry. - I was really excited about this tour but did not love it, I'm sorry. It is listed as being a 4-hour tour but it lasted a little over 3 hours before we were dropped off. The last 15-20 minutes was just a random drive around Avignon which was frustrating to me. Before that was about 20-30 minutes in traffic from the CNDP area. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable of wine and the area, which was great. I was just expecting more. We visited only two vineyards (which I will admit is clearly listed in the summary of the tour) but we lingered at each one longer than needed. If I was in that area again, I would just take a taxi/uber to the different vineyards (they are on large plots of land so too far to walk and there are no sidewalks). Or I would try to find a longer tour so it was worth all the driving around, especially from Avignon center and back from CNDP.
