The guide was very knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. This is the first time in my experience that the group was actually asked if any one was car sick and she made sure to seat us in the front of the van. She also made it a point to find out if any one had any train or bus to catch after tour! We were back very much on time!

Lovely tour! Great guide. We took amazing photos and enjoyed our time. I was surprised there is still a lot of sunlight on a cloudy day at 2pm. Book the full-day tour if you want all the time at the lovely Lavendar fields area & rustic town - I had to rush to make sure we got all the souvenirs but it was perfect since we only had a few days in Lyon.
