An amazing adventure with Gordana around Provence!

Gordana was an amazing tour guide for our private day tour in Provence. She picked us up at the cruise terminal in Marseille, full of energy and knowledge about the area, and advised us on the best order to see the locations I had requested (Gordes and the Museum of Lavender), and suggested stopping at the little old village in La Sorgue with the beautiful scenery, street market, papermill, and church. This was our FAVORITE stop on the tour, and we were SO glad she suggested a stop. Throughout the trip, Gordana shared the history of the regions in France, a bit about the wine region of the area since we did not have enough time to stop, and was also very knowledgeable about the lavender distillation process. Gordana was very pleasant to work with during the coordination phase and throughout the tour. She offered great suggestions for lunch and shopping in the little villages we stopped in. I would highly recommend booking with her or her partner (it's a mother/daughter team) and will certainly contact her again should we find ourselves back in that part of France!

A magical journey to remember

I recently celebrated my 52nd birthday, and through out all my life experiences I have met a few exceptional people. Gordana is one of them. She is the epitome of joy and enthusiam, and is readily knowledgeable on Provence and French culture. Gordana's liveliness and zest to teach us made the afternoon so delightful. Our whole group was charmed by Gordana. Gordana's energy did not waiver during the tour it only seemed to grow stronger, she really has a passion for what she does. I am thankful for the visit we had in Provence with Gordana guiding the way. I highly recomend travel to Provence and having Gordana act as your ambassador.

We have been on over 150 tours all over the world with Viator. We finally found the best guide ever. Emily. She was fun, and had great info about everything we saw and did. My personal favorite site was the 1st century Roman bridge. A marvel. She stated at the beginning we would want to move to Provence after the tour. She was right. And to Emily’s mom, you raised her right.

Gorgeous day with Gordona

What a beautiful day exploring the lovely lovely villages of Provence! Each village brought more and more interesting stories and scenery. Gordona was a great guide, we had ample time to explore and she explained the villages very well. Not to be missed!

Beautiful day seeing all of the sights of Provence! Eric was terrific, he was flexible with our family to stay and enjoy the spots we wanted to and to breeze through other stops when we started to fad later in the day. Very informative for all of us!

Best guide ever- Eric

Without any exaggeration, this was hands down the best day tour I've ever been on! I joined the tour on the 29th of June with my friend and our guide was Eric. He was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and professional! He genuinely made the whole experience unforgettable. I booked this full-day tour because I really wanted to see the lavender fields and the some areas in Provence. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone as you'll get so much more out of the experience. We visited so many incredible places in just one day, including the Abbey, Roussillon, Gordes, the stunning lavender fields and we even drove past magnificent sunflower fields.Unfortunately, there had been a road accident next to the sunflower field that day, so Eric decided it wasn't safe for us to get off the car. He said, "Your safety is my priority." That really stayed with me. It showed just how responsible and caring he is as a guide. Eric is also incredibly knowledgeable. His explanations were interesting, he was always happy to answer questions and he made sure everyone felt looked after throughout the day. This was actually my second visit to the South of France and this tour made me fall in love with the region all over again. I'll definitely be recommending it to more friends and family and I sincerely hope they get Eric as their guide too. Super friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what he does. I'll definitely be back next year! 毫不夸张地说,这是我参加过最好的一日游! 我是6月29日参加的这个旅行团,我们的导游是 Eric。他真的非常热情、认真,而且一路都特别照顾大家,让整个行程体验感满分! 因为我一直很想去看薰衣草和泉水小镇,所以报名了这个全天团。非常推荐有一定英语基础的友友们选择这个行程,真的物超所值! 一天之内打卡了很多经典景点,包括修道院(Abbey)、红土城、石头城、薰衣草花田,还有机会经过美丽的向日葵田🌻。 当天经过向日葵田时,旁边发生了一起车祸。为了大家的安全,Eric没有安排下车,还说了一句让我印象特别深刻的话:"Your safety is my priority!"(你们的安全是我的首要任务。)这一刻真的让我觉得他是一位非常负责任的导游。 一路上,Eric不仅知识非常丰富,讲解生动有趣,而且对大家提出的问题都非常耐心解答,整个旅程轻松又愉快。 这是我第二次来到法国南部,每次都有不同的惊喜。这次的一日游更是让我留下了非常美好的回忆!以后一定会推荐更多朋友来参加这个团,也特别推荐大家遇到Eric当导游! Super friendly, knowledgeable and professional! 明年一定还会再来!
