PROVANS with Veronica and Nicolas is among the greatest tours we'd been. They extended their efforts to work with our schedule, picked us up at our hotel, then we had a terrific day through the Provencal countryside. We are looking forward to joining other tours by them in our next trip to the area. Or, even better is to arrange a bespoke itinerary out of the usual spots. Highly recommended!

This is a review about our experience "so far" with Christopher and Ooh Provence. A number of months ago, as usual, I did extensive research and found a photographer and I contacted him to see about a photo experience while in Marseille. He responded immediately and then told me about his tour company which extends beyond just photography. It was perfect...a guide that could help 2 amateur photographers get some unique shots in a great city plus learn about the history at the same time. I find this is a great way to explore a city. So, of course ,I booked and paid the deposit etc. and we confirmed our date. Then along came Covid 19 and I finally had to cancel .This company offers full refund up to 24 hours in advance of tour and Christopher had no problem with an immediate refund. I will add that is not the case with some hotels etc. I am so impressed with the customer service under very extraordinary circumstances and will definitely book with Ooh Provence in the future when we can return post Covid. Based on my experience so far I am sure we will have a great time touring Marseille and the surrounding area with Christopher. I often find the true test of a good travel company is how they handle unexpected problems and can be flexible. Christopher delivers on this for sure!!

Unfortunately they didn't offer an English tour at 9:00 but I took it anyway because it was offered at 2 pm and it would have been too hot! They use Land Rovers which accomodate 6 people+driver: 2 behind drivers and 4 in the back. We arrived early and claimed the seats behind driver (recommended). The guide was very knowledgeable and explained all the traditions in great detail. We stopped to pet the white horses of Camargue, we visited Camargue and Spanish bulls, a small village (St. Maire) and the flamingos. The tour took a little longer then expected but it was very enjoyable. The vehicle has an open roof from which we could take photos or admire the scenery.

We had an amazing visit of Camargue today with Safaris Camargue Alpilles. Big thanks to our guide, Gerald, who gave us an amazing, passionate, informative 4 hours tour on company's safari car. The views, the stories, the weather, everything was perfect. It is also worth to mention that the company was prudent about the hygiene during the tour (sanitized car, face mask on guide). I would also like to thank the Office de Tourisme d'Arles for helping us to quickly organize our Camargue visit. Definitely recommend taking the tour! Grand merci!
