      Well worth it. Beautiful views, nice villages. A good way to see a bit more of the area if you don’t have a car. Oliver our guide was very nice.

      Perfect tour for cruisers who stop in Marseille, France
      This tour was specifically tailored for sailors stopping in port on a cruise, and I was sailing solo on Virgin Voyages. The tour was called "Shore Excursion: Aix-en-Provence and Cassis." Our lovely guide, Ines, met our small group of seven at 9:00 right as we left the port area. Short walk. Super easy! The van was a Mercedes, and the drive to Aix was lovely. Ines was so friendly and knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history with us. She walked with us for a short time in Aix pointing things out, and then we were on our own to explore. Aix is called Little Paris for a reason. Simply adorable. From there we drove back to the coast to the village of Cassis. She took us to a look out point first (incredible) and then we drove down into the village. Some of us took a boat ride which was breathtaking. I enjoyed some local wine and just had a lovely day all around. We were back to the ship by 4. I can't recommend this tour enough! The company, A la Francaise is very easy to work with and helped me out tremendously because I left my bag of souvenirs in the van. Amelie went to a lot of trouble to get them shipped back to me in the US. I am so glad I booked directly with them and not through Viator.

      Wine tasting in Provence
      Florian (I am sorry if I spelled this wrong) was our amazing guide for our afternoon wine tour. He was so nice and informative. Our tour was in English, and there were only 6 of us total. He personalized the tour, he was easy to understand, and you could really tell how much he loved Avignon, Provence, and the wines produced there. The booking provided clear and easy meeting point instructions and everything ran smoothly.

      Best day in Provence!
      Oliver was our amazing guide for this beautiful day. He was animated and informative. Our tour was in English, and there were only 5 of us total in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Oliver personalized the tour, he was easy to understand, and you could really tell how much he loved Avignon, Provence, and all of our sights, especially the aquaduct. We had a wonderful time with Oliver on 29/8/24. The booking provided clear and easy meeting point instructions and everything ran smoothly.

      We had a great afternoon with Oliver. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Scenery and towns visited were very picturesque. This tour is perfect for a short trip, you get to see 3 beautiful villages without feeling rushed.

      Matilde made the difference,
      Avignon’s visit with Matilde was excellent. Her direct and kind attitude together with Her sincere smile and authenticity made the difference. It was pleasant and useful time spent together and I recommend asking for Matilde because She will always make the difference.

      Great sights, great tour guide, lot to learn and enjoy.
      Visiting the two towns and pont du Gard was stunning. Especially pont du Gard. Make sure to take the stairs to the top, if you’re feeling up to it! Our guide with the spectacular mustache was absolutely amazing. He is very knowledgeable and generally excited to share his knowledge with others. Overall a top tier experience.

      Thank you Sylvia!
      Had a wonderful time (despite the heatwave!) exploring the art history of Provence. We stopped at Arles and St-Remy de Provence, but saw miles of beautiful countryside in-between. Our guide, Sylvia, was incredible! Her knowledge of Van Gogh and the region's history was amazing, and she made the tour feel very personalised to us. So grateful! As English speakers, the tour was very well adapted to help us get the best experience and Sylvia's English was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone interested in Van Gogh, or just new to the area. Thank you!

      A great way to see some of the highlights of Provence
      Our tour guide Remi drove us around hot Provence in a wonderfully air conditioned mini bus and gave us a brilliant explanation of Provencale history, cuisine and culture to set the context for our visits to the picture postcard beautiful towns of St Remy and Baux de Provence. Walking around these idyllic relaxed towns was a treat. But the jaw-dropping highlight for me was the Pont du Gard whose Roman majesty has stood the test of time through two thousand years. Great itinerary with plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere in all three locations. A very time efficient way to spend an afternoon while in Avignon.

    My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience A La Francaise Provence as a part of our honeymoon. We leveraged the business over the course of two days to assist with walking tours of Avignon and Saint Remy, trips to wineries Chateauneuf Du Lape and transportation services to and from our hotel. Overall, the experience was well organized, able to be flexed accordingly and fairly priced.

    Our guide, Emile, was 10/10. He was kind, timely, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about an array of topics, answering any and all questions about the region we had (especially about wine!) We recommend his services to any individual, couple or group traveling to the Provence area. Additionally, he was an excellent driver, making my wife and I feel completely safe each time we joined him in the car, even through the tight streets of some smaller villages.

    We will be sharing details of the company and experience with all friends and family looking to book trips to the region in the future.

    A wonderful afternoon in Chateauneuf du Pape! Our guide Benoit was very knowledgeable and authoritative, regaling us with many stories about the area’s long wine-making tradition. The four tasting stops were outstanding; we especially enjoying the tasting in the Roman cellar. The final surprise, a chocolate tasting, was the perfect ending to a lovely afternoon. Merci beaucoup pour tout, Benoît !

    Sylvia, our guide, was delightful. She knew the area, she knew the wine culture and the growing. We tasted wines from two wineries. Enjoyed them, they were different so that added to the experience we recommend this tour especially on the day after arrival!

    The program was not at all what we booked. Tour took us to 2 houses in Châtneuf du Pape and not to 3 houses, including in Gigondas. Driver admitted mistake and didn't understand. I would be called the next day with a compensation offer because we booked a more expensive tour than we got. Heard nothing. A la Francaise was a provider of services. Flat commerce without passion or heart for customers. Never again. One house (St Patrice) had good wines but we were given a few drops to taste and hardly any explanation about the wines. Second house substandard wines gave good explanations on how to taste wine. We booked a 5-hour tour and were dumped at the tourist office after just 3 hours. Tip: check before you board whether the program on your voucher matches what they have planned.

    Our driver was really just transportation up to Chateauneuf Du Pape. She didn’t share too much about the region or the wine, a little disappointing. The two wineries we visited were great, though we waited 25 minutes for the first one to be available. After it was over, I felt like we could have done this ourself really.

    Mediocre wine tasting tour, not anything special at all, I expected more then just been shuffled around in a tight time schedule, and I also expected more from this “famous” wine district. You don’t get anything to eat or taste with the wines, not even water. So I would recommend some other tour than this

    Wine tour was not a highlight, two winery visits, 7 tastings and driving through grape vines to fill in time? Person at first winery was not friendly and seemed to be not that interested in answering questions about the wine. This experience deterred me from booking any other tours from Avignon.

    The driver needed a mic as folks in the back seat could not hear him.

    He was very nice but could have shared more background information with us as we drove to our wineries.

    First winery was small and intimate. Second winery was more established. However their lecture in the first room had horrible acoustics and it was impossible to understand what he was saying. And no one wants to be up close near others to try and understand what was being spoken!

    We were excited about doing a wine tour in Avignon that did not take up the whole day, so this was perfect. One note, though. Eat lunch beforehand as this particular wine tasting tour did not offer food pairings, just wine. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and made an extra effort to connect with all of us. Highly recommend!
