My deep passion for my own region and my never-ending enthusiasm combine to insure that you will see and taste the best Provence has to offer with an emphasis on Cultural Tourism, Entertainment, & Gastronomy. 10 years of combined experience in the guest service and hospitality industries helped me understand the importance of a service that is dedicated to creating a reliable, personal, and positive travel experience. With a comfortable air-conditioned van, I can tour up to 6 passengers in my own vehicle, and up to 8 in a rental one. Along with my personal language skills and my natural curiosity and enjoyment of diverse cultures and people, you can be assured of a journey you will want to share and perhaps repeat.Representing the “heart” of my region to the world is my pleasure. « less

Marlene provided us with a great experience during our first trip to Provence. She adjusted to our tastes and changes in our plans. Provided us with information about the history of the various areas which we enjoyed a great deal. You can tell she loves the area. Would definately use her services again and recommend to family and friends. You... More

My wife and I spent a full day with Marlene and what a great day it turned out to be. We started with the chocolate-wine pairing, visited the Pont Du Gard, then a traditional cod+aioli lunch at Lolo's farm house. Lunch was followed by the olive oil tasting, then more of St Remy, before we stopped off at a farmer's... More

We are first time visitors to France and the Provence Region. It seemed the best idea to have an English speaking guide inform us more of this area and even though we had a hire car, it was wonderful to relax with my husband and let someone else do the driving and all the while inform us as to where...

We really can't add too much more to all of the glowing reviews of Marlene except you'll feel you made a new friend instead of a hired tour guide. Now the trick will be reserving far enough in advance to have the opportunity tour with her - so plan early! The best of the best! More

Marlene picked our group of four promptly at our Hotel in Avignon. We stopped to take pictures of the beautiful poppy fields on our way to Roussillon. We also visited the towns of Gordes and Lacoste. She is very warm, knowledgable and passionate in her work. We would of liked to spend more time with her visiting some of the... More

In St. Remy with her masterful assistance maneuvering the market' spectacular views at the medieval castle in Les Baux de Provence; Avignon, absorbing the history of the century of the Pope's stay; olive oil tasting; on our last day a...

Spent a delightful day last week with Marlene, who tailored a tour to meet our specific requirements, but allowed for that unexpected flexibility, like a picnic lunch in a field picked up from vendors in the market in one of the Provence villages. Just perfect! I think the trick was Marlene's pride in her native region, married together with the... More

Just returned from a trip to Provence and one of our favorite days was our day with Marlene. We had a memorable drive to our first stop for a wine and chocolate pairing:),then we enjoyed a drive through Chateauneuf-du-Pape and a couple of fun wine tastings. She was very informative about the area and the wine. We had a wonderful... More
