My daughter (16) and I were lucky to have a private tour with Emilie. The van was brand new and immaculate and Emilie was a smooth and safe driver. I’ve visited the Luberon myself, but wanted to share experience with my daughter. I had been concerned we would feel rushed, but that was not the case. It seemed we had the right amount of time at each stop. My daughter is in France on exchange and Emilie made an effort to speak to both of us in French and English which we really appreciated - and she was so kind to my daughter still learning. We both really enjoyed our tour and would recommend to anyone!

We had a fabulous day - François was very informative and accommodating, and a careful driver! We were lucky enough to be the only people on this particular tour so it felt very personal. The market was fantastic, it’s definitely worth a visit! Lunch is not included but there are places where you are able to buy lunch. We had prepared food to take but it turned out to have not been necessary. A lovely day out - and François was a superb and knowledgeable guide.

We visited beautiful villages and our guide provided excellent background information to make our experience complete. Florian had the perfect recommendation for a classic Provençal lunch in a creperie in Bonnieux. Florian was a fabulous tour guide and really made the experience for us.
