Private day tour - Tour 08
Aix-en-Provence, Luberon, Avignon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Overview
Go beyond the French Riviera and discover the landscapes, villages, history and flavours of Provence.
From the elegant streets of Aix-en-Provence to the historic streets of Avignon, the Mediterranean atmosphere of Marseille, the beautiful villages of the Luberon and the world-famous vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Provence offers an extraordinary variety of experiences.
Your journey can be designed as a one-day private excursion or extended over several days to fully experience the region at a relaxed pace.
One day or several days. With one day available, we recommend focusing on one area or two complementary destinations rather than trying to see the whole of Provence. The itinerary can be adapted to your starting point, interests and preferred pace. With several days, we can create a more immersive journey through Provence, combining the region's major highlights with smaller villages and local experiences.
The tours are private, customizable and flexible.

100% private

Begin your journey in Aix-en-Provence, a beautiful historic city known for its elegant architecture, fountains, markets and lively cafés.
Walk along the Cours Mirabeau, explore the old town and its colourful markets, discover local specialties or enjoy a relaxed lunch in the heart of the city.
Aix is the perfect introduction to the refined and vibrant atmosphere of Provence.
Hilltop Villages & Provençal Landscapes

Drive through vineyards, olive groves and lavender fields and explore charming hilltop villages such as Gordes, Roussillon, Ménerbes or Bonnieux, depending on the season and your interests.
Take your time to wander through the narrow streets, visit local markets and discover small producers and artisans.
The Luberon is the perfect place to slow down and experience the authentic side of Provence.
History, Heritage & the Rhône
Continue to Avignon, one of Provence's most iconic historic cities.
Discover the impressive Palais des Papes, walk through the medieval streets of the old town and see the famous Pont d'Avignon.
The city offers a fascinating combination of history, architecture and Provençal culture.
Wine & Rhône Valley
For wine lovers, a visit to Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers the opportunity to discover one of the Rhône Valley's most famous wine regions.
Visit a local estate, walk through the vineyards and enjoy a private wine tasting while learning about the history and traditions behind these celebrated wines.
The experience can be combined with a Provençal lunch featuring local products and regional specialties.

Best season
All year round. Each season shows the region differently - we adapt the route to the light and the weather.
Fitness level
Easy to moderate, adapted to you. Village streets are cobbled and sloping; tell us if that is a problem.
Families
Welcome. Child seats provided free of charge on request.
If it rains
The day shifts indoors - workshops, museums, tastings and a longer lunch - without losing its character.
Good to know
We pick you up at your hotel, villa or the cruise terminal. Departure is usually between 8:30 and 9:30 - earlier to beat the crowds, later if you are on holiday and it is holiday time.
We book the table, you choose the register: a gastronomic restaurant, a Provençal bistro, or a farm table. Lunch is not included in the tour price so that you keep the choice. Dietary requirements are never a problem - tell us in advance.
English or French by default. Spanish, Arabic and Berber are also possible - Fouad speaks all five.
Often the best plan. The second day is quoted at a reduced rate.
The day shifts without losing its character. We only cancel for genuinely unsafe mountain or sea conditions, and then we reschedule or refund.
You receive a written proposal with a firm price for your group. No deposit is required to hold a date more than a week out. Payment on the day, by card or in cash.
Reviews
Fouad noticed the cruise crowds that day and took our small group off the beaten path - hillside towns, new places, and a delicious lunch overlooking the hills.Brian Keeley, USA
Fouad took us to beautiful out-of-the-way vineyards, and lunch afterwards in Saint-Tropez. He went above and beyond, helping us ship wine back home.Marcus Loy
Great personality, knew all the shortcuts, and really just a cool guy. One of my favorite guides!Thomas Beck, USA
