Highlights
  • Aix-en-Provence - Travel through Aix-en-Provence to reach Les Baux de Provence. You can choose to stop and explore or continue directly to Les Baux de Provence.

  • Les Baux de Provence - Begin your day in the vibrant village of Les Baux-de-Provence. Open year-round, this village offers a chance to experience the varied colors and light of the Alpilles. The Rocher des Baux stands like a massive stone ship, with the remains of an impressive feudal keep competing with the steep fortress. Recognized as a remarkable heritage site by the Ministry of Culture, the village invites you to wander its narrow cobbled streets and discover its rich historical monuments and architecture. Serving as both a sentinel and natural stronghold, this eagle’s nest has always been a place of refuge.

  • Saint-Remy-de-Provence - Continue your journey in Provence with a visit to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. From May 1889 to May 1890, Vincent van Gogh stayed at the Saint-Paul asylum here and created some of his most famous works, including Starry Night. Like many artists, you can stroll through the shaded boulevards, historic alleys, and charming squares adorned with fountains. Explore the beautiful boutiques and art galleries.

  • L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue - Conclude your day in the quaint town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, known for its numerous antique shops and regular Sunday antique markets.

Aix-en-Provence "personal" tour - The "group" tour turned out to be a personal tour as I was apparently the only one to have signed up for the specific day. I greatly appreciated the fact it was not cancelled as my guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable, informative and engaging. He provided not only information about the areas and sites visited but added historical context as well.

Lots of variety - Lots of variety in this tour. Stopping in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume was nice, then walking the city of Aix-en-Provence was lovely. The wine tasting was good, but would have been nice if they let you by additional wines by the glass. Otherwise, very happy with the tour!

An Absolute Delight! - My family and I had a wonderful time with our guide, Sebastian. He was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, and seamlessly provided the tour in both English and french to accommodate us and the french couple with us. We had an opportunity to see a lot of the region, both during the narrated drives, and during the tours. There was an excellent balance of independent sight-seeing and informed touring.

Delightful day in Aix. - Our guide, Robin, took us on a great tour to Aix, along with a stop off at a winery and church visit. It was a long day, however the trip was well planned. Stops to tour Aix on our own for shopping and lunch worked well. As mentioned our guide gave great advice and clearly was expert.

Disappointing and too much driving - We stopped at the lavenderfields which was beatiful. This was the highlight of the tour. After that we spent 1 hour 45 minutes in Aix-an-Provence for lunch. There was too much time in the car, more than 50% of the trip was in the car. The winetasting was disappointing - we tasted 3 wines but there were hardly any information, and just a small sip of wine in each glass. This was the kind of winetasting you get for free when you stop by a winehouse, and did not cost the tour operator anything... I expected more for 120€, and would not recommend this trip to anyone.
