This was an excellent tour, one of our favorite shore excursions. Greg was an excellent tour guide and we loved listening to his French accent. He was very personable and accommodating. He went out of his way to personalize the tour for us. We had hoped to see some of Aix en Provence, and he actually made a stop there during market time. He also went out of his way to stop at an abbey with lavender fields, no matter that they were not in bloom, and gave us such interesting information about lavender, the local wines, and food. There was enough time given for us to explore some of the gorgeous villages and markets on our own, with excellent direction given by Greg as to recommendations for stops, food, and meet-up points. This was so much better than the large cruise tours, and in a very comfortable minivan. Highly recommend.

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!

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
