Perfect way to easily see 4 beautiful and different villages in the Luberon. - A well designed tour with Nico being very informative and clear with instructions regarding meeting times and major attractions to see. We enjoyed free time to wander at each stop and never felt rushed. A very well planned itinerary.

Best Tour we had on our Vacation! - We just completed our two week vacation in France with a visit to Avignon, Bayeux and Paris. Of our five tours in France, by far our best tour was with Veronica with Provans. She was friendly, knowledgeable, gave us plenty of insight into the culture and even included an extra stop in a beautiful poppy flower field. Most importantly she did not rush us, we had plenty of time at each stop to explore and relax. Her English was excellent. If there is one tour to pick while in Avignon her full day tour of Luberon which included Fontaine de Vaucluse, Gordes, Roussillon and Menerbes would be it.

Took us places we could not have seen without renting a car - The Luberon Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon was very enjoyable. Nicholas, our driver/guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. He answered our many questions about the Luberon villages as well as questions about life in general in France. We visited 4 villages and spent an hour in each, with two hours in Russillon where we had lunch. The vehicle was comfortable for the eight passengers and our guide was a good driver. He used a microphone in the car so that we had no trouble hearing in the back of the vehicle. He was completely fluent in English.

Lovely Luberon villages - Great day trip with Veronica as our guide. She was interesting, informative and made sure we had trail maps of the places we went. The views and villages we went to ranged from rustic to spectacular and we managed to stop by a pretty poppy field for pictures. We had more than enough time in each place and her tips came in handy. It was a pleasant and safe ride in a clean and comfy van. Highly recommended!

Beautiful trip with super friendly and entertaining guide - We had a great trip with Veronica. She was an excellent guide, a very careful driver and it was very convenient not to have to look for parking spots on our own but to simply be dropped off right in the middle of four beautiful villages. The four villages were very different and all worth visiting and Veronica told us a lot about the history and culture of the area. She also speaks fluent German and was a very entertaining and cheerful guide. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Great day tour of Luberon Valley - We had a wonderful day touring the Luberon Valley. Our tour guide Nico was lovely and very informative of the countryside and villages we visited. He dropped us off in the villages and we had ample time to explore each village at our own pace. We had time to have a lovely lunch at one of the villages. It is a small tour so gave you the opportunity to get to know others in your. The van was comfortable and very clean. Highly recommend this day tour. We had a wonderful day. Thank you Nico

A very special tour of the Luberon - We had a fantastic tour with Veronica from Provans. She was a total delight, giving us lots of information on what we would see and do but also a more personal insight into the area. The number of villages we visited was perfect as was the amount of time we spent in each. The bonus of being on a small group tour was that when we passed an amazing field of poppies we could stop for 10 minutes and just stare in wonder, take photos etc. The other bonus of a small tour was getting to know and chat to the other 6 people onboard. All in all it was a perfect day and one I will remember for a long time.
