3 1/2 stars. We drove around Salut for 5 - 6 hours looking for lavender fields. I was disappointed we did not visit Roussillon. On Tripadvisor’s itinerary “Roussillon: Stop 45 minutes” was written, so I expected we would go both Roussillon and Gordes then spend time on lavender fields, but it was different. Since it’s August, we didn’t visit Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, neither. It’s good the guide was knowledgeable and knew so much about the lavender.

Our local guide (“small” Lawrence) was kind and knowledgeable, and logistics with her and the tour were seamless. Only recommendation would be to cut the wax museum visit (which comes at the end of the day) because by then, you’ve heard Therese’ story a lot and seen “real” sites so the wax museum seemed superfluous.

Nicholas was a warm, knowledgeable and personable host who took us to some fantastic gems in the region. He knew the special spots and how to get much more out of an experience than an uninformed tourist. Very soon we were chatting about all sorts of things beyond Provence and having a great time. He allowed us to take some unplanned options such as a wine tasting and even finished with a 'final surprise' visit. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a lovely day going around the region, visiting wineries and tasting (a lot of) wine. We had a top notch guide (ask for Nicolas) who taught us so much about wine in the cote du rhone. He answered all of our questions and was very entertaining and helpful all day long. We visited two wineries in the morning, had lunch at a picturesque castle and two more wineries in the afternoon. In between, our guide gave us lots of information on wine and the region in general. You will get plenty of wine during the tastings. There is no pressure to buy although you can if you want to (you will probably want to :)) Highly recommend if you appreciate wine and want to lear more about wine in this region.
