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!!

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 )

Sarit is a very good guide because she knows a lot about the port and old town and speaks really good English. History is one of her interests so she can tell you a lot. We booked her for 3 hours.
