The tour was a bit too rush. _br/_ As it is named as a Lavender Fields Tour, I would expect more time in the lavender fields, but turn out only 10 mins in one lavender field, then rush to another field for 10 mins. I would prefer they skip the villages, and just stay in the fields to admire the views and smell the lavenders.

A great tour - lovely French scenery. Four of us took the TGV from Lyon to Avignon TGV station where we were picked up by our guide Thierry. We did 2 more pick ups then off to the countryside. Thierry was extremely knowledgeable and although we asked him a question he didn't know the answer to immediately - as soon as he could he got us the answer. The lavender fields were just magnificent but the whole area is spectacular - a well worth trip to get a real good feel of the French countryside. Gold star to Thierry

Due to a disease, apparently, we saw no big fields of lavender in the first half. All were just cut and dried out. Not very interesting and it seemed like endless driving around. The second half was better and we saw lavender. I would have preferred to drive out, see the village of Sault a little longer and the come back the by same road instead of the circular route. That would have meant more time to see lavender fields, which is what we paid for. It could have been better if the itinerary was more flexible to cater for the situation.

Our driver Florine was great and I'd recommend the tour.

The tour started promptly. Surprisingly we had a full house in the 8 seater. The van was very comfortable for all of us. One request though, it would be better if the driver/guide Eric had some sort of a microphone so that he could talk to all of us without shouting or taking his eyes off the road.
