We booked a tour with Domitia Tours for our group of eight friends to enjoy a day out in the Luberon. Dealing with William was smooth and professional in setting up the day from afar. He was able to accommodate our needs beautifully. “Joe” picked us up from our accommodation in a beautiful air conditioned van. We enjoyed the sights of the Luberon with plenty of time to explore and take photos. The wine tasting was a highlight! Joe was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I have no hesitation in recommending this company to others

Djilani was an amazing guide! He picked us up at the cruise terminal and totally customized our day trip. We saw beautiful lavender fields, had lavender ice cream in the cutest town and he knew the best place to stop for oils and honey! Then we drove to Aix and he led us through a walking tour and we went to an authentic cheese shop and sampled delicious bread and cheese with the regions rose wine. We are a family of six with adult and teenage children. It was a day we Will never forget! Djilani was knowledgeable and friendly. His van was new, cool and clean. Great tour! Highly recommend!
Thank you very much I’m delighted that you did enjoy the tour and I did succeed to make your party happy
Djilani was a fun and professional guide that took my husband and I from our hotel in Arles to a few different towns in Provence on an 8 hour tour. He treated us to a coffee and croissant in the first town and had many stories as well as history to share. He also made a special stop for us that was not on the original schedule. Very knowledgeable and helpful guide! Car was clean and comfortable. We recommend him to all visiting this region!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that your full-day Provence tour from Arles was such an enjoyable and memorable experience. Djilani will truly appreciate your kind words regarding his professionalism, flexibility, and knowledge.

We are also pleased that you found the vehicle clean and comfortable, as guest comfort is a key priority for us. Your recommendation means a great deal and is a strong motivation for our entire team. It was a pleasure hosting you in Provence, and we hope to welcome you again for another beautiful journey through the region.
We really enjoyed our tour with Djilani. We had actually booked a different tour but when we met him he suggested a different location because the lavender fields were not in bloom & would have been disappointing. He asked us what we wanted to see and he did a wonderful job of showing us beautiful landscapes, and catering to our needs. It was a wonderful experience overall! Thanks for an amazing day Djilani!

Your feedback is a great motivation for our team, and we would be happy to welcome you again for another exceptional day in the region.
We had a fabulous time with Djilani touring several villages in the Luberon area last week. He lives up to the the positive reviews others have posted here! He wants his customers to be happy and starts his tour asking what is most the important area/site we want to see. My daughter really wanted to see lavender fields - Djilani presented some options of where to go and we chose the closer option at the Abbey in Gordes. He took us to L' Isle Sur la Sorgue and treated us to an artisan bakery croissant and some fresh goat cheese. We visited one winery for a tasting where we purchased some items. Then it was off to charming Roussillon with its ochre colored buildings and lunch. We finished our afternoon touring the Chateau de Lourmarin, and villages of Bonnieux and Menerbes, then back to Arles (our starting point). Djilani is fun and very knowledgeable about the area, food, wine, history. We had many engaging conversations, and even some music and singing in his van! We highly recommend this tour and in particular Djilani as a guide. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you very much
Djilani was very personable, well educated in answering all our questions and super flexible (as we didn’t know we would fall in love with Marseilles and her country side: we needed a little bit more time in certain places…) : i would recommend him to anyone who is looking to visit this part of the world! Djilani is worth every euro you spend!!! Ce fut une journée incroyable : nous avons déjà hâte d’y revenir! Merci Djilani!
Thank you very much wish to see you again in Provence
