5.00It was our second excursion with this guide and we had a great time again! The landscapes crossed and the villages visited are beautiful, with very interesting comments. It is a real plus to make this itinerary accompanied by a person passionate about his region!

5.00Just returned from this tour and I must say it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of the trip to Provence. Gordes is spectacular and Roussillon, with its colors, truly unique. Despite being a half-day tour, the pace has always been relaxed and never rushed. The guide was engaging and competent, and the organization very fluid thanks to the small group. If you have little time but want to see the best of Luberon without stress, it is a choice that I recommend.
Wonderful Tour Experience

5.00Nicolas was a wonderful tour guide. The tour left exactly on time and his commentary on our way to each village was interesting. and useful once we arrived. He also gave us maps and ensured we knew where and what time he would meet us at the end of each stop. He also gave us commentary on areas we drove by on the way to each village. I highly recommend Nicolas and Veronica and I am hoping to take another tour with them this fall.
Excellent tour of beautiful villages
