It was lovely exploring the area. The lavender field we stopped was perfect - zero crowds, lavender plants smelled divine!
The tour itself was good. The guide was knowledgeable, informative, and very helpful with taking photos throughout the experience. We were a few minutes late due to personal issue, and I completely understand that it was our responsibility. However, I didn’t appreciate the way it was addressed. The comments came across in a way that made it seem like we intentionally didn’t care about being late, which wasn’t the case. When you’re traveling in a foreign country, unexpected situations can happen. We had already acknowledged that we were late, so I felt the additional comments were unnecessary and left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Aside from that interaction, the tour was enjoyable, and the guide was otherwise knowledgeable and helpful.
Dear Lisa, Thank you for your review and for your kind words about the tour. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the Luberon villages and appreciated the information provided throughout the day. To clarify, the comments about the delay did not come from the guide but from other participants in the group, who were waiting for the tour to begin. Nevertheless, we regret that this affected your experience. I am sorry to learn that part of your experience left you feeling uncomfortable. I understand that unexpected situations can happen while traveling, and I appreciate that you acknowledged arriving a few minutes late. As a guide, I do my best to ensure that the tour runs smoothly and on schedule for all participants. At the same time, I never want any guest to feel unwelcome or judged. I am sorry that this aspect of the experience affected your overall impression. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting the positive aspects of the tour. I am pleased that you were still able to enjoy the day and wish you wonderful memories of your time in Provence. Kind regards, Gordana
Eric was amazing… such a great day. Learned and saw so much. The views… the scents of lavender will stay with me
What a wonderful day out touring and experiencing highlights of Provence, Luberon and perched villages with a grand ending at the Pont Du Gard which is an amazing architectural sight. We enjoyed the sights and Eric was such an engaging guide with valuable knowledge about Provence and its history. Our 8 year old son enjoyed the experiences and said it is one of the best days of this South of France trip for him thus far. The minivan was also very comfortable and clean. (We originally booked for a half day tour but ended up extending it to a full day tour. There was also a lovely newly wed couple from LA touring with us today too.) Thumbs up to Eric for making our experience lovely today! Merci beaucoup!
Thank you for taking your time to share your impressions about our full day tour with Eric. We are glad to hear that you liked all the places you saw and especially the fact that your son liked it. Hope to see you again!
