Very beautiful towns with diverse scenery. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse was the highlight of the day; I wish we got to spend more time there! The itinerary was a bit ambitious for the time allowed, though — we spent far more time commuting than actually in the towns. It's a bit annoying that we were picked up from Marseille, but then some other members of the tour were picked up Aix-en-Provence, so ~45 mins on each side of the day's itinerary was wasted commuting to pick up/drop off other passengers.
Clem, our guide, was fantastic.

This was a really wonderful trip to see some of the small villages in Luberon. The villages we went to were beautiful and special in their own way. I appreciated our guide's explanations and that the group was small. I'm happy that I went on this tour and would recommend it.

We are a couple who would not normally do a ‘tour’ but this tour was well worth the money. Not sure how we would have covered these beautiful villages without a car, but Marlon took us on a journey that was unforgettable. Thank you Marlon for spending a day with us, your commentary was excellent and surpassed our expectations. We talked of life in Marseille, it’s history and it’s people. We were not hurried at all, had a beautiful lunch at Roussillon and feel we saw as much as we wanted to see in one day. It was a big day, but a good one. Highly recommend this over a larger group tour. Thank you for providing this experience for us to enjoy

I spent 10 days in France, taking trips to Marseille, Arles, Avignon, and Aix-En-Provence. Lemme tell you something -- this was my favorite day of the trip. The tour guide was absolutely fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He gave us the full rundown of the Luberon Mountain range and took us to five towns -- all of which had stunning, singular architecture and views. We got a good amount of time to stroll through each town. Not a physically strenuous tour at all. I was especially stunned by the ochre-rich town of Rousillion and the astounding Fontaine-de-Vaucleuse.

This trip is ideal if you want to get to know the real Provence. We visited the Provençal villages, the monastery Senanque which is fantastic (you need to ask for a guide separately to visit the monastery). The biggest surprise for me was Fontaine de Vaucluse, the biggest water sources in France, the beauty of nature cannot be described in words. Our guide Marlon was very kind, nice and professional.

What a great day. The villages were all unique in their own way. Isle sur la Sorgue, Fountaine de Vaucluse, Gorde, Roussillon and Lourmarin. Our guide Jennie, was very personable, bubbly and extremely helpful. It was extremely hot that day but the van we were in was very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour and Jennie.

The villages were were wonderful, each one we visited had a uniqueness about it. While it would always be great to have additional time, we never felt rushed. Our guide, Jennie, was wonderful and provided information and suggestions.

We recently did this tour in May 2023 - from Aix-en-Provence. It was the same tour visiting the same villages. It was nice to get out in the countryside and see small villages like Lourmarin and Rousillon. The tour guide was also the van driver, and mostly drove with minimal talking. At each stop, he would briefly tell us about that location and then set us off on our own (with a set time to return). He was from Marseille and not particularly enthusiastic about people from Aix whom he considered rich snobs, and he didn't know what to see in some of the places we visited, e.g. Gordes (he said it was not particularly interesting, except for the view, but gave us a hour to spend on our own).
I suppose your experience would be affected by who you get as your tour guide. We had read about a guide named "Paul" who we thought would be our guide, but that is not who we got. C'est la vie! We rolled with the punches, and still enjoyed the lunch we had at one of the villages. I had the best Pate de Fois Gras (it was the real duck fois gras!) and it was nice to spend a day out in Luberon. In hind sight, a half day would have been sufficient with the guide we had.

All visited villages are so lovely, beautiful with excellent panoramic view beyond our expectation. We enjoyed them all along the day, and would recommend to all to pay a visit.
Moreover, our tour leader (Jenny) is so nice, and very helpful. She accompanied with us almost the trip, and explained related informative things of program along the journey.
