Guest reviews

We believe the most meaningful stories come from those who’ve lived them.

Read what our guests have to say about their experiences. Their words inspire us, and we hope they’ll inspire your next adventure too!

“Provence Chefs arranged a full-day tour of the villages of the Luberon valley, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Pricey, but well worth it considering the convenience of having a knowledgeable guide and not having to worry about navigating and parking.”

“I wanted to drop you a note to say how much you contributed to the enjoyment of our trip. We have often had guides with substantial expertise, but rarely with the imagination and personality to capture the attention of three generations. And she gave French lessons too!”

“10 women in Provence for a week! Our day outing with Sebastien was one of the highlights of our time here. Sebastien is a wealth of information about the region — he was a true joy to be with from start to finish. we highly recommend a day out with Seb to any group visiting Provence.”

“Laurence is a wonderful guide and we loved every minute of the two tours she gave us – a beautiful, kind and extremely knowledgable guide to history, art, villages and wine.”

“Our tours were outstanding. Both guides were well prepared and interesting. They were very attentive to all our needs and requests. Thank you for such an outstanding experience.”
