The visit was so enjoyable and made even more so by the lovely guide Mira who was so friendly and helpful.We loved the visit tothe lavender fields which are beautiful and epitomised how I have always envisaged Provence to be - a region of lavender, olive groves and almond trees . We tasted olive oil and almonds at an organic farm as well as visiting two beautiful villages where we had time to wander and have lunch .The day was so welll planned and full of interesting activities; we saw a variety of fields and also a beautiful field full of sunflowers.It was a dream come true and we highly recommend it .

Our full day tour of the lavender fields was wonderful. Our tour guide Paolo was amazing. Since we were leaving from Marseille we had some time before reaching the lavender fields. Paolo was a wealth of knowledge and information on the whole region and its history as well as very knowledgeable about everything related to lavender. When we got to the lavender fields he helped everyone with photos and answered all our questions. He was very professional and an excellent driver. We couldn't have got a better tour!

This was a great idea! Our driver was so nice and friendly, sharing fun facts about the area, history, typical things about the area, teaching us French words and musics. The lavender fields were beautiful and the stops in Gordes, Sault and the Abbey were breathtaking. Amazing views, delicious lavender smells every where. Nice shops and food options. The stops also had enough time for pictures and walking around. The schedule was very much on time ad well.
