Fantastic day trip from Marseille! - Had a great visit in Avignon, visiting the Palace and the bridge. Would have liked more time to experience the village. From Avignon we went to Chateuneuf du pape for wine tasting and were able to visit 4 different wineries for a varied experience. The wine was fantastic! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and checked in frequently to make sure the itinerary was meeting our expectations and we were comfortable. Very comfortable van, great itinerary, and overall great day!

Excellent, personalized experience! - Joe gave us such a great day! He is so talented at personalizing experiences and so knowledgeable about the places we toured. We started in Avignon at the Palace of the Popes. When you enter they hand you a tablet that gives you the information written on French-only signs translated to your native language. Also on this tablet is a 3D representation of the room you are in. If you scroll around the 3D, some of the rooms have dots you can hit for extra information. We did not do the garden tour so we cannot comment on that. Currently they have the castle tour in two sections. The second section is more visually stunning so if you are very short on time maybe start there. There are some signs that the tablet does not translate but all of the ones I noticed also had that text in English and at least one other language. I cannot eat gluten, so Joe found a crepe station for us to eat at that is gluten free! Talk about personalized service!!! We then set off on the winery part of our tour. Joe was able to get us in to four places, including the Family Perrin. At Château Fortia we had a wonderful tour from Paul, who took us through their wine making area and taught us their processes. In between two of the wineries we took a short stop at the Pope’s summer castle; the scenery was so incredibly beautiful my eyes could not get enough of it. In short, we had a wonderful day with Joe and highly recommend him as a guide for Provence.

Excellent day! - Djilani was amazing. Had a fantastic time exploring Avignon and the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Even though we had a rainy day we loved the palace of the pope history. We stopped and had local crepes before heading to the wineries for tastings that he arranged for us. We even stopped at a local boulangerie before heading back to the cruise ship. Highly recommend him as a safe and knowledgeable driver. Five stars!

Amazing Chateauneuf-du-Pape Day! - Simply amazing day after being picked up at port and headed straight to Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries. Paul was not only extremely informative but very funny as well. Much of the day was spent wine tasting and touring some of Paul's recommended beautiful wineries, a quick stop in Avignon for more history and lunch with just enough time to get back into Marseille and take time to view Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde and the 360 degree picturesque views that took your breath away! Domitia Tours and specifically Paul made this an unforgettable experience!
