Great tour with an experienced driver. Lovely visit in the countryside visiting small villages in the Luberon. One gets to see how people out of the big cities live. Highly recommend.

It's a special region, and we're happy you got to experience it. Thanks again for the recommendation — we hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards A LA FRANCAISE!
The villages are beautiful, very pretty , sitting on a hill by the seaside! Our guide Sara was amazing, she had lots of interesting information and took good care! We had a great day.
Bonjour, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the villages and the stunning seaside views. Our guide will be thrilled to hear your kind words; she always strives to provide an enriching and memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon! Best regards, A la Française
We really enjoyed yourselves, however the number of participants should be limited to 7 passengers. With eight, one poor unlucky soul is required to sit in the middle between the driver and front passenger. If you are over 4 feet tall, you will have a big problem, as the Mercedes van has no legroom when sitting behind the center console. That issue aside, we had a great time and the tour guide was excellent. You visit several charming towns in the French countryside and have time to explore. The tour guide was knowledgeable and tour was a good value.
Bonjour, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, we're really glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the guide, the towns, and the overall value of the tour. We do understand your point about the seating, especially that middle front seat, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration. We hope to welcome you again soon for an even more comfortable experience! Best Regards, A la Française
This was our first time going "off tour" with our cruise ship, meaning not taking a tour with Princess. While we did return back on time, a big, huge plus, the tour itself fell short. First of all, it was difficult to identify our driver. Strike 1. Signage was POOR and took us too long to find our driver/tour guide in the port!!! Second, the vehicle was extremely small, 8 people plus the driver was extremely tight. Strike 2. Third, commentary was limited, it seemed more like a driver than tour guide, strike 3. Over all just so-so. It should of and could of been so much better. However, we will try Viator on another venue because usually they are great!
Bonjour, We read your review with interest. 1-For the signage we are not responsible for the lack of information because we cannot arrange the places as we wish and there are a lot of people arriving at the same time. Our guides have special and recognizable outfits: with navy blue polo shirt and hat as well as a board with the names of clients. 2-Our vans are spacious, sometimes the configuration means that there are fewer places depending on the person, but this remains exceptional 3-In order to improve our customer service, we will forward your comment to our guide. Best regards A LA FRANCAISE
I especially enjoyed walking through the old village of Eze. A small group tour is definitely best. Although our tour guide was very knowledgeable, I was disappointed in the level of English. I was only able to make out a small amount. Disappointing when you pay for an English guide and can't understand.
We are surprised because our tours do not go to Eze, and all our guides are bilingual. I think you have the wrong people. Please remove your comment which is damaging to us. Best regards A LA FRANCAISE TEAM
Tour operator was very sweet and informative. Was wonderful in making a very short 5 minute stop at the lavender fields on our way to one of the villages. Would not necessarily recommend this exact tour based on the time allotted at each location. Would have preferred to visit two of the villages and have time to walk around and spend at each. As it was, we had only 40 minutes at two of the locations and less than and hour and twenty minutes for our lunch location...definitely did not feel that we could have enjoyed lunch and walk around to see the village in the time allotted so we had to rush a quick meal to visit the town. Felt very rushed. The villages are beautiful, but if you really want time to enjoy them, book a private tour or ask ahead of time if you can visit only your top two to actually get to experience them. Tour operator was very punctual and needed us to leave at a specific time, telling us we needed to ensure the time frame to get back to our cruise on time. After 30 minutes driving, tour operator was called and asked to go back to pick up another group that had car trouble. She then assured us that we had the extra hour to go back and pick them up and still get back to the boat. We were happy to go back (we would have wanted someone to do the same for us) but after a day of feeling like we didn't get as much time as we would have liked, felt like the time frame was rushed unnecessarily. In total, spent approx. 5 hours in the van and only 3 hours actually at the villages.
Hello I thank you for your feedback, and I understand your frustration, it is true that it is important to respect the tour timings, especially if you are on board a cruise ship. I hope you were able to enjoy your day Regards Team A la Française
Travelling in a small group through the Luberon was quite special. We were not restricted by travelling in a large group with a guide and free to explore the lovely villages. We were on a cruise and returned to the ship in good time despite an unanticipated hold up
Bonjour, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback and our guide Jehanne! Thank you for choosing A la Française! and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon for another memorable experience! Best regards Team A la Française !
