Viator contacted the provider of this tour for me to ask if we could do it as a shore excursion from a cruise ship. They agreed to pick us up at the ship, change the start and end times of the tour, and personalize the day's itinerary. Then we found out 24 hours before the tour was to begin that our ship would be docking at a different port due to weather. We were relieved to find that they would simply meet us at the new port. That was easy!

Naturally these places are very worth seeing, especially Saint Remy which we would go back to. This is a good way to see a little more of Provence and easy with someone who does the driving, parking and touring. Our tour guide was more than eager to tour us around and make sure we saw what we wanted to see and then advise us on other things to see. The only unfortunate event was we wanted to stay longer in St. Remy and she encouraged us not to but to see another place instead which we did not enjoy as we told her we don't like bigger places. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed this tour guide as she put her heart into it whereas others just act as a bus driver and drop you off and let you figure it all out for yourselves! The tour guide makes all the difference on these tours, some act as only drivers and some as real interesting tour guides.
