South of France lavender proposal - Proposed to my girlfriend on this tour just about a year ago (early July 2023). The lavender fields were in full bloom, it was gorgeous. Took a while to get there but it was worth it. The little town where we had lunch at was also great. Our driver was great and executed my plan perfectly!

Beauty of Provence - Nice driver, nice spots, nice experience. Not suitable for people who might have sickness from longer ways via car due to mountains roads but we liked the trip!!

Best guide Mathew/ Mat - Our guide Mathew was excellent.Stopped in a lot of photo spots along the way which we would have never known if we drove ourselves. Always checking on us even while driving if everyone ok. We noticed he cares a lot about the environment very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Made this tour really memorable.

Fun day trip - Ask to rent a boat at the gorgés du verdon! Best part of the day. Can easily skip out on time in the smaller towns and still see everything.
