We enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the roussillon. Also, we were pleased that there was time allowed for us to enjoy and take pictures in the lavender field. The tour guide provided a lot of information and tips in different places. In conclusion, we were contented during the trip.

Molto bene ! Grazie Gilles 🙂

The tour was great! It is a long day but you get to see the fields and several little villages with time to wander around in each.

The tour was nice and the guide answered our questions. We saw some nice villages and some lavender fields. I would probably go again.

Todo funcionó de acuerdo a lo pactado, y el resto lo hace la maravillosa naturaleza y la preservación de patrimonios de la humanidad.

Excellent tour. Gilles is a great driver and guide, with an excellent sense of humor. His Mercedes Van was very comfortable. He accommodated our tour to our preferences. Highly recommended.

Fabulous tour that ticks a lot of boxes - stops at St Remy and Arles and Le Beaux de Provence villages, goosebumps at Carriere de Lumiere, unique wine tasting and finally Pont du Gard. Gilles is fabulous guide with great knowledge delivered with wonderful french sense of humour that made such a memorable day !

We had an awesome day with Gilles tasting wines from across a number of regions of the southern Rhone! First off, he contacted us in advance to find out our preferences so he could customize the day for us. Gilles owns vineyards in CdP so he really know the wine industry, the regions, the growers, and the wineries exceptionally well - we learned so much from our time together! Lastly, Gilles was not only prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable, he also was extremely flexible (we decided to skip the last tasting because we already had so much wine 2/3 of the day through the day, so he took us to the Pont du Gard instead), and he's got a great sense of humor! We really enjoyed our time with Gilles, and you will as well!

Tuvimos la suerte de tener un guía local fantástico y ser un grupo pequeño. Esto nos permitió visitar muchos sitios diferentes a lo largo del día, no coincidir con otros grupos numerosos y hacer millones de fotos en los campos de lavanda! Una experiencia genial! Ruta de todo el dia pasando por Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Gordes Roussillon y Sault. Fantasticas vistas !!

Gille, our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip a real highlight of our stay in Avignon. The Luberon valley has a lot of interesting sites to enjoy and of course the lavender fields delivered a true delight to the senses.

The guide is very kind. It's a very good experience to explore many places in one day. There were only four people in this trip, and we had a lovely day !

Our tour was beautiful even though it was a hot day. Our tour guide was on time and gave us several good tips as we went around in the different towns. We also went to the lavender distillery and had the opportunity to see how they make lavender essential oils. At the end of the tour, he took us to this shop and we tasted the best lavender ice cream! If I had to do this tour again, I will probably go earlier on July where there the fields are more blooming of the lavenders. However, we took great pictures and are satisfied we crossed this off our bucket list.

My partner and I had a brilliant 2-person private tour through the Luberon region this July (2017), setting off from Avignon. The best aspects of the tour can be summarised thus: -A friendly, knowledgeable, humorous and interesting guide who tackled questions on history and everyday life in the region -Not having to drive, especially through the narrow streets of the hill-top towns -Having the opportunity to select exactly what we wanted to do and for how long, and to be able to divert from the planned route whenever we wished -Avoiding the worst of the tourist crush by setting out early It's not the lowest cost way of seeing the region of course, but totally worth it.

The tour was amazing! I've taken dozens of tours across the world and this one was by far one of the best ones and just incomparable to other tours I did in Provence. Giles was very knowledgeable and fun with many stories to share about the places we visited. It was the biggest highlight of my trip

An excellent day! Nice people and nice scenary.

We had booked a small group tour but even though there were not enough passengers, we were taken in a private car. The tour was great. Our guide, Gilles Balazut was very prompt and took us to more places than planned as we were just the two of us. Even though the lavender fields were not blossomed, we were intimated well in advance and the tour was modified according to our convenience. The villages of Luberon were beautiful and anyone who would like to spend a nice quite day visiting beautiful villages, it is a great tour. If you get the lavender fields blossoming, you are more lucky! I recommend this trip.

Couldn't have been better! Our guide, Gilles was wonderful.He made my husband, who doesn't drink wine, feel like a part of the tour. We visited a number of different wineries from one that dated to Roman times, to the state of the art Chateauneuf de Pape. I loved the visit to the small vineyard and our conversation with its owner. Our lunch in the garden at the Chateau was great and even the weather cooperated as it was a beautiful day. Definitely a treat!

Our wine tour experience was exceptional. In looking for wine tour options prior to booking, most only included a couple of wineries and then stops at historical points. Being wine enthusiasts, we wanted to visit more places if possible. That is what drew us to this tour option. Our guide was a local grape grower and was very familiar with the area. From the moment he picked us up, it was clear that he was being thoughtful about what we wanted to get out of the experience. Overall, we were impressed with the thought put into the chosen locations and order, as well as our guide's attentiveness and flexibility. I think this tour provides tremendous value for the money !
