He is flexible with any requests (ex: offered to stop at the fresh fruit stands along the way, did not rush us when taking longer at one vineyard, etc.). If there's a way to request him, do it! I think the tour guides have read previous reviews about difficulty having enough time and available restaurants for lunch in Lourmarin and adapted, because we had no problem. We had a good amount of time to get a meal and there were maybe 8 or more…”

We were traveling with a 94 year old and she was able to navigate all the places we visited. The tour was at a nicely paced, we never felt rush which based on our past experiences can sometimes happens. The restaurant recommendation options provided by the tour operator were at places a bit fancier than we might have selected, but we had time to research in advance so that’s on us and I’m sure we could have asked about more casual places. Overall a great tour and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 30 reviews · 7h 30m · from $176

“The tour was good although I feel lacking. Jean Gabriel was very knowledgeable about the wines. The visit to Aix de Provence village was too long. We would have stayed in Marseille if we wanted to do shopping. Much preferred to visit another place of local produce and wines. Also a map or guided tour of Aix de Provence of key points of interests, times and locations of the markets would have been of assistance. On such a hot day an indication of those establishments with air conditioning would be an advantage.”
