Poor Tour Experience

George_C, Aug 2023

Tour guide was unprofessional, dressed inappropriately and provided little information on the best things to see in the villages. Second village was not worth seeing and we should have spent more time in Rousseau. Also, her vehicle broke down causing us to miss our last stop, and causing anxiety about getting back to the cruise ship on time.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Great tour

Janice_H, Jul 2023

Lea was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable, had great historical stories and legends to share, and was a pleasure to be with. She was also a great driver, and we always felt safe in the very nice, spacious, air-conditioned van. We loved visiting the Luberon villages. Each one was beautiful and unique in its own way.

Caririeres de Lumiere . Light show

Karen_S, Jun 2023

Lea was such a great guide. It was a rainy morning and all tours arrived late due to bad traffic to the cruise port however Lea was worth the wait. Because it was raining, we told Lea we had tried to book a trip to Lumiere light show but couldn’t find one with Viator. She offered to get permission to change our tour and she took us there instead plus to a monastery that Van Gogh had stayed and it was a fantastic day. Lea was so accommodating and knew a lot about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was a private tour since we were the only 3 people on this so that’s why we had this flexibility.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

If you're interested in the small Provencal villages, this is a wonderful tour.

Excellent tour

Catherine_Q, Jul 2018

We booked this excursion to see as much as we could in our 1-day in France. It was the right decision! Viator adjusted the times of the tour based on our cruise ship docking & departure times. Our tour guide, Philip, was excellent in giving insights into the area & each village while keeping us on schedule to see as much as we could & still get back to the ship on time. The vehicle was immaculate & had a car seat for our toddler. Philip was very accomodating to our wishes to see some lavendar fields & even stopped at a roadside vendor on the way back when we realized we had neglected to purchase some French wine. I really enjoyed having such a personal tour which allowed more freedom & less stress than going in the large group ship excursions. I would highly recommend Viator tours!

Excellent! Couldn't ask for a better or more considerate tour guide.

Catherine_Q, Jul 2018

We booked the LuberonTypical Provencal Villages tour for our day in France. We selected this tour since it allowed us to visit some lovely villages in the area & was more personal than large excursions. Philip was our most excellent tour guide. Starting out he had parked the vehicle in the shade while he waited for us to get off the cruise ship. Having an air conditioned minivan with a car seat for our 3 year-old made the entire experience very pleasant & was a respite between each village. Philip is very knowledgable & pointed out so many things to us. He explained the history of the areas we were visiting & guided us through each village more as a friend than a tour guide. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We covered alot of ground without feeling rushed, but Philip made sure we got back to our ship by the time we had requested. He also accomodated our request to see some lavendar fields and stopped at a road-side vendor on the way back when we mentioned that we hadn't purchased any French wine yet. If you're considering this tour, do so with complete confidence that you will not regret the personal attention, the private, clean vehicle & extremely compentent tour gruide (especially if you're lucky enough to get Philip). I feel we left knowing more about the Provence area, understanding the people & what life is like there along with a new friend. Thanks, Philip, we enjoyed our day with you immensely!
