Really enjoyed the tour with Laurent and Emmanuel. They were a great team. Failing getting out of the city for a day.

This trip takes you to some iconic sites in Provence. All were very interesting and provided the opportunity to see more rural areas. However, there really wasn’t enough time to explore the old château in Baux and there was an admission fee. Extra time at the Pont du Gard would have been appreciated so that one could rent a kayak or go swimming. Important to know that you will arrive in Avignon for a late lunch. Time was also limited here. If you wanted to find your way to the Pont d’Avignon( also has an admission fee), you really don’t have time to take the train tour or visit the Pope’s Palace. The guide gave information while driving but you are basically on your own at each site. She was helpful, but unfortunately, the folks in the back seat of the van had difficulty hearing her. The host at the Châteauneuf-du-Pape winery was really welcoming and passionate about explaining the wine making process. We really enjoyed the trip, but it would have been much better to have more time at the first three sites.

I found it not as informative as other tours! We were all English and had to ask many questions when driving through towns! Not a lot shares as far as history etc.. just in major sites. She was lovely but found it laborious for her
