Our Tour guide Lores was knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. We never felt rushed, and he was excellent at communication. His driving was excellent during the tour and very safe. He handled our luncheon orders for us, due to the fact, he knows four different languages,. I would highly highly recommend this tour and for sure this tour guide. it was amazing.

Jean Gabriel was fantastic and took us to three wonderful wineries in the AiX region. The drive to the various wineries had beautiful scenery Two wineries in the morning followed by lunch at an outside cafe in AiX. After lunch we walked around a bit in AiX with Jean Gabriel pointing out various historical details. Finally we visted the third winery and then back to the ship 4pm. Jean Paul was a great host who really enjoyed sharing his passion for the AiX region abd its wonderful wines. Highly reccomend booking wih Jean Paul.

Our driver/guide was waiting for us outside our ship. He was very nice, pleasant and knowledgeable. He took us to three wineries for tastings and dropped us in Aix for a lunch that they booked for us. It all worked out great. Definitely recommend it!

Our tour guide, Eric, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. He explained gave us a great understanding of not only the wine-making process, but the importance of wine to the people of Provence. We visited a modern winery and a very rustic chateau, both were amazing, the wines were delicious. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch in town, with time to stop at a local bakery to enjoy fresh baked goods. The views were spectacular as was our day!

This is the second time we used Provence Wine Tours and we were just a thrilled as our first time in 2015. This time we had a group of 6 on the tour. Our guide Eric showed us two wineries (which were different from the ones we visited in 2015). Eric shared his vast knowledge of the wine industry in Provence and guided us on how to properly taste and experience the wines offered. He took us to one of our favorite places in Europe - Cassis. The sea side town looked the same as when we were there 8 years ago. We made sure to get the mussels Provencal which were outstanding. Eric was a wonderful guide and we highly recommend Eric and Provence Wine Tours!
