Highly recommend this tour - This tour ticked our bucket list. Firstly we were at the beginning of lavender season and Nicolas made sure we got to 2 different areas in full bloom. The scent was amazing. Then Nicolas took us to some of the most beautiful towns in France - Gordes, Rousillon and Senanque Abbey - and another town whose name escapes me now! . We had ample time to explore each of these places. The views as we drove were spectacular, and the small group size allowed us to go to places quickly. Nicolas was very knowledgable, great company and full of suggestions for other places to visit.

Highlights of a trip to the south of France 🪻 - The color and scent of lavender in full bloom was very nice! It was a very good trip to see a cute French village. Our Guide Nicolas was a very calm and kind person and the day went smoothly. The car was air-conditioned and comfortable, and the Guides explained using microphones, so it was easy to hear even if you were in the back seat. The tour was conducted in small groups, so it was enjoyable in a relaxed atmosphere. Another good thing was that I felt at home and was able to spend time more relaxed. This tour is our Recommendation!

Amazing!! - This tour was absolutely spectacular. I cannot say enough good things. Nicolas took us to some of the most beautiful towns in France, all each unique in its own way. The views were truly beautiful, and the small group size allowed us to go to places quickly. This husband and wife team were truly knowledgeable about the best places to go to maximize our experience and for that, we’re really grateful. Definitely book it. You won’t regret it.

A visit very well guided - Very nicely driven and guided. Missed not having time to visit Senanque abbey. Gordes nice view of the village but not worth visiting the village. Lavender fields disappointing. I expected it to be more spectacular.

an nice and relaxed tour to enjoy provence - We got to see the two kinds of lavender farmed in the area and visited 3 beautiful Luberon villages. Nico also showed us the distillation process of harvested lavendar. We had more than enough time to explore the villages and had a wonderful lunch today. The tour was relaxed and we were able to soak into the scenic views of the field, the houses and the cute streets. We really enjoyed our trip and would recommend this tour to others.

Fantastic tour for lavenders with small town visits - Wonderful tour for beautiful lavenders and small towns! Veronica is so friendly and professional in terms of managing the tour and explaining details about everything. Highly recommended for someone who only has limited time but still wants to see lots of good stuff in Provence!

Gorgeous lavender, great tour, highly recommend! - I have wanted to see the lavender fields for pretty much as far back as I can remember. I told my husband: I must see the lavender if nothing else. Oh my gosh, words don’t do it justice. Our tour guide, Veronica, was delightful. She knew everything there is to know about the area lavender and she knows where all the fields are, monitoring day to day as they bloom and eventually get cut. In addition to multiple lavender stops throughout the , we also saw Gordes, the Senanque Abbey and Roussillon. This was our second tour with Veronica (Provans) , she’s absolutely the best. Book the tour, you won’t regret it!
