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

She spoke fluent English and was very happy to accommodate... More

Our family went on a trip to several areas around Provence and had a fantastic time with Marlene. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Many of the sights in France deserve as much attention and detail as paintings in the museums and Marlene filled us in on every bit of information. We had terrible weather for our... More

My husband and I just came back from a trip to Provence and Rhone Valley. In the past couple of years, we have found out that visiting a country with a local person is the best way to know a lot in very little time and to see real gems. For that reason, although we had our car and I... More

My wife and I spent two days with Marlene driving around Provence. From the beginning of making a reservation, working out itinerary to the very end Marlene was very professional, dependable and knowledgeable. She made adjustments as necessary, visited places we would never find on our own and had lively conversations. Highly recommended.

Marlene provided us with one of the best tours we've ever had . . . anywhere. Our time was limited and we wanted to visit some of the Côtes du Rhône wineries, experience the hill towns of the Luberon, enjoy lunch in a charming, out-of-the-way location, and learn about the area's olive oil production. Marlene developed a tour that enabled... More

My family of 4 had a fantastic time in beautiful Provence with Marlene! Marlene picked us up in her comfortable van and drove us to St. Remy Provence where we learned about Van Gogh's life and places he was inspired to paint. She then took us to Arles where we had the most delicious pasta lunch ever! Pont du Gard... More

Not wanting to drive in Provence Marlene provided the ideal solution of how to get around the area. She provided knowledge, friendliness and an efficient way of seeing a lot in a short period of time. It is such a beautiful area with a rich history, I am indebted to her for the experience she gave me.

Have just had a wonderful tour with Marlene visiting several hilltop towns and villages in Provence, sampling the local produce and visiting well known relics. Marlene has a wonderful knowledge and created something to suit our interests. Thank you so much Marlene. We would never have seen so much if we were trying to drive ourselves.
