A wonderful day with an excellent guide, well-versed in history, architecture and geology of the region. Highly recommended.

This trip was the highlight of our 10-day France vacation. This is the countryside scenery and beautiful old small towns that I was looking for. We even did a little shopping in one town. It was much better than one of those huge bus tours, and the guide even went a few miles out of the normal plan to stop by an abbey with a lavender field after I asked if the one shown in all the Provence tour books was nearby. The van picked up and dropped off right at my hotel in Marseille.

We lucked out in being between the cruise ships and the conventions, so it was such a wonderful experience. I would recommend it to everyone.

The tour was private by luck as no others had signed on. It took us to areas we would have not seen. Enjoyed the hotel pick-up and drop-off. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
