I've ordered a tour to wineries and a sightseeing tour around Avignon. I'm excited! I remember the tour and conversation in a bus with the guide and a british couple and a traveller from America until now. Tour timeline was good - you can see mostly all the attractions and feel city or village spirit, however that's a brief overview anyway )

David was very responsive, he is punctual and efficient. He gave us just the right amount of information about the place, didn't overdo with too many stories or talked non-stop giving us time to take photos and enjoy the sights. He also gave us some very good restaurant suggestions in Sarlat and knew a way to avoid the traffic jams into Sarlat town. His car was comfortable and booking and paying for the tour was easy, all done through email.
