Small group, very nice atmosphere while traveling, some solo time to explore, beautiful villages. Great
Bonjour Sandra, Thank you for this nice comment! We are happy that you enjoyed the landscapes of Provence as well as the tour with our guide Pelayo. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another memorable experience! Team A la Française!
I was picked up in Marseille by the driver/guide, Leanna, who was friendly and informative throughout the day. We drove to Aix to pick up the other travelers and then spent the day exploring the various towns and markets on our own. The people on this tour were a very nice group and we chatted and enjoyed each other’s company all day. Leanna also stopped at a lovely lavender field so we could take some photos, which was a nice bonus. It was a long, very interesting and enjoyable day.

Luberon Valley was an area full of charming hilltop towns, incredible landscapes, gastronomy, and historic sites. Pepe was a 5 star guide who was informative with expressive descriptions. It was a long day but worth the adventure.

We joined a tour that visited some of the most iconic and charming villages in Provence. Given my lack of familiarity with the area, we found it challenging to navigate on my own, especially with unexpected road closures due to construction and the difficulty of finding parking in these small villages. This guided tour was a great choice. It allowed us to fully appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of Provence without any hassle. It was an enriching day that gave us a deep understanding of the region.
Bonjour, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad to hear that the guided tour helped you discover the charm of Provence without any stress. Navigating small villages can indeed be tricky, especially with road closures and parking challenges, so we’re happy we could make your day easier and more enjoyable. It’s wonderful to know the tour gave you a deeper appreciation of the region. We hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable adventures in Provence! Best Regards, À la Française
We had an excellent tour! The pick up location was easy to find and our guide/driver Caroline met us at least 15 minutes beforehand. We were given interesting information on the 4 villages were visited, they were all charming and had their own distinctive features. We were only five people so it was great not to be overcrowded! The tour timing was perfect too, we had the enough free time in each village.
Bonjour, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that everything from the pickup to the pacing of the tour met your expectations. Caroline will be so happy to know you appreciated her guidance and the personalized experience with a small group. Each village in the Luberon has its own soul, and it's wonderful that you were able to enjoy them all at a comfortable rhythm. We look forward to welcoming you again on another journey through Provence! Best Regards, A la Française
