Great tour with wine tasting and sightseeing - Lea is an excellent tour guide, giving us lots of history and background of the places we visited. The summer heat was very severe and Lea made it a priority to ensure our comfort

A great introduction to the region - The morning walking tour was excellent. Nicholas was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Well worth the time. We also enjoyed the afternoon visits to Leberon hill towns. The tour was a little too long. We suggest skipping the last (third?) stop so the tour would conclude at least one hour earlier.

Great way to see a lot! - I really loved this tour! It was a great and easy way to see a lot of villages — without having a car! I loved that each village was unique and special. I also liked that our group was small. Our tour guide Dori was also great. She shared a lot of information, but let us explore on our own.

Nice trip - Our tour guide is nice and knowledgeable. Overall planning of the pace is great. The wine tasting is so so but the wine cork museum was fun to visit. It may work even better if the wine tasting time can be traded with extra time of stay in one of the villages visited.

We also feel we gained a lot of knowledge regarding local agriculture and the tourism industry. We would not have been able to enjoy nearly so much of France without the help of tour companies like yourselves so thank you again for pretty cool day.</p>

Disaster - avoid - We booked the half day Luberon tour through our hotel and were so excited. There seemed to be miscommunication between the hotel and tour operator because when we arrived at st Remy tourism office at 8.30am there was no bus waiting. We called the tour office who said our hotel had mistakenly got the pick up wrong but the hotel doesn’t agree. They collected us at 9.30 and suggested a tailored tour instead due to the timing. The tour was not as advertised. We went to Beaux for 20 minutes, which was the highlight. We then went to a light show, saw an olive oil factory (marketing opportunity) and then a windmill and he pointed out a dying sunflower field. It was not what we paid for and only having a week in Provence it was a complete waste when what we had signed up for was the luberon towns. The diver was simply thinking of things to occupy us but ensuring that we didn’t get a minute beyond 1.30pm despite the fact that we lost over an hour not due to us- we still don’t know if it was the hotels mistake or the tours. While the driver was pleasant and apologised for the mix up, he still charged the full amount! This was not a tour but an expensive taxi ride. As there was only 2 of us, I think they were reluctant to try and give us a good tour. Avoid at all costs!
