Wonderful Day Tour - A great combination of guided touring and solo roaming. Sebastian told stories and provided historical detail as we drove from place to place. A perfect opportunity to discover some charming towns in Provence. The wine tasting was a great bonus.

Wonderful day out - A long day but well worth the tour. Lucie was amazing, she could talk about anything we asked. Pont du Gard was especially interesting as was the wine tasting at Chateau Neuf du Pape. Le Baux had wonderful vistas and good shopping if that is your interest. Avignon was the stop we could have done without. Would recommend this to friends.

Recommend! - Great variety of activities. Loved that we could see some of the surrounding area and do a wine tour at the end as a full day of touring wineries would have been too much for us. Lucy was fantastic, very knowledgable about the area and really friendly. Definitely recommend!

Experience France’s historic sites - Les Baux-de-Provence was a very interesting medieval village and the historic Roman Aqueduct was well worth seeing. Next stop was Avignon where there was an abundance of things to do and see in the time available.
However, I could have done without the last stop at the winery. The three tastings offered were of younger wines that were not appealing. This stop made the day exceptionally long resulting in the return to Aix, and for those from Marseille, very late.
