Coco our driver and tour guide was excellent. The best since we have been here. She has patience and added some new sites along the way and we all enjoyed it. She was very enthusiastic and a pleasure to be around with. I’d do another tour with her

The tour guide had an amazing amount of knowledge about food, history and geography that it made the whole day very exciting and welcoming. The stops were beautiful and he listened to what we wanted or needed for our tour. Very on time, very easy to talk to and all around friendly. I would highly recommend if you love old French villages!

Full description

Meet your friendly guide in Aix-en-Provence and get ready for a drive through the marvellous scenery of the Regional Natural park of Luberon. Your afternoon tour will provide a wonderful insight into the highlights of the Luberon.

The first must-see stop on your tour is at Lourmarin, known as one of "the most beautiful villages in France" and famous for its Renaissance castle. Enjoy some free time exploring the village.

After Lourmarin, continue your tour with a photo stop in Bonnieux. This picture perfect Provençal village is topped by a 12th century church surrounded by century-old cedars. This spot offers a magnificient view of the Luberon.

The village of Roussillon is perched up high on top of the cliff of an old ochre quarry. Reminiscent of a painter's palette, Rousillon is a magical place where combinations of oxides provide an infinite variety of orange, brown and red shades in the landscapes and the houses.

Your last visit of the afternoon is to Gordes, an extraordinary village erected on a cliff. The fortified castle and church dominate the typical houses of the village which were built with stones from the rock on which they are sitting.

Luberon and its gorgeous villages are the perfect place to spend an afternoon in Provence.

At the end of the tour you'll be driven back to Aix-en-Provence.

Roussillon was my favorite destination, followed by Bonnieux and Gordes. I didn't care much for Lourmarin. The driver was excellent and personable. had a delicious ice cream at the place he recommended in Roussillon, and bought a textile from Uzbekistan in Gordes. He stopped at a lavender field which was so beautiful. I also bought my son a set of artisanal quality watercolor paints in Roussillon.
