The trip was great, we enjoyed the beauty of small villages with their characteristic architecture, the market with local products and impressive landscapes - colored rocks and one of the biggest river sources in the world! Our guide Florence was great, kind and knowledgeable, having answers to all our questions. This trip was in January, when the tourists are gone and we enjoyed these beautiful places which were only for us :-) As if the time has stopped. A great way to escape from the rush and stress of everyday life and refresh your mind.

This excursion was an incredible experience, full of beautiful views and exciting moments! I want to express my sincere gratitude to our guide, who took care of us the whole time. His knowledge and love for the places we visited made every minute of the excursion inspiring and interesting. I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience unforgettable moments and get to know the beauty of these places! Thank you for the wonderful experience – I will definitely come back again!

There were only four of us plus our guide Florence so it was like having a private tour. The towns we visited were lovely and not crowded with tourists. Our market visit took us to Apt and we were able to taste and sample our way through before it closed. Highlights were Lourmarin, Roussillon and Vaucluse. The best part was our guide Florence! She was engaging, approachable and most of all so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the Luberon region. Thank you Florence!

Emile, the driver and the guide, is great indeed. His driving was stable and he was also nice and helpful with proper guide in different stops. He did a great job.

beautiful places visited, efficient guide but she speaks a little too quickly and drives too fast!
