Delightful Day in Provence

Shertraveler1014, Dec 2024

My husband and I spent the most delightful, memorable, and informative day with Christopher, exploring Avignon followed by wine tasting in Chateauneuf de Pape. He is a terrific guide who totally customized the day to meet our interests and needs. We look forward to returning to Provence and having Christopher as our tour guide to another part of the region.

Responses from Christopher C

Thank you for your visit and kind words. I’m so happy you enjoyed the time we spent together - it was a pleasure to meet you both. In fact this tour combines the history of Avignon and its connection to Châteauneuf-du-Pape and of course some excellent wines to taste at the end of the day. I hope you enjoy your stay in Paris and look forward to your return visit to Provence. Best wishes Christopher & Laurent OohProvence

Best Day in Provence

202jennyd, Dec 2024

I can't give this a high enough rating. My husband and I were staying in Arles and wanted to see Avignon and the area around, but we didn't have a car. Christopher and I emailed ahead of time and he put together an itinerary that was perfect. We saw more in a day than we would have seen in on our own in a week. All in a way that felt unrushed and informative. He was a pleasure to spend the day with! We would do it again in a flash!!!

Responses from oohprovence

Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you both enjoyed the day we spent together. I too hope that in the future you'll find time to come back and visit us again - we can do so much more in a few more days ;-) I hope you managed to catch your train in time and enjoy the rest of your vacation.

BEST Tour in Provence!!!

kaileigh2018, Dec 2024

I can’t say enough good things about OohProvence! My husband and I booked a day tour of Avignon and the vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape and it was our favorite day of the whole trip! A friend recommended the company and they were so right! Our tour guide, Laurent, tailored the whole day to us. We started with a tour of the Palace of the Pope and a walking tour of Avignon and I loved that we were able to move at our own pace throughout. Laurent was so knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions throughout the day. After the city tour we drove out to the vineyard, where we were treated like old friends! The private tour and tasting there was my favorite part. We had the whole place to ourselves and I loved learning all about how the wine was made and also the history of the region and the vineyard. Beyond the tour, Laurent gave us advice and recommendations for some of our other destinations. All day Laurent treated us like friends rather than tourists and it made the experience feel so much more authentic. It was a bit of a splurge compared to some other tours but the quality of the experience made it worth every penny in our opinion. If we make it back to Provence we will 100% book another tour with them!

Thank you so much for your review. It was a great pleasure to meet you both and share some of the highlights of Provence with you. I personally think combining Avignon with all it's history and local culture with the wines and vineyards of Châteauneuf Du Pape is a perfect combination. I'm so happy you both enjoyed it. I hope to welcome you back next time you visit us in the South of France. Cordialement, Laurent OohProvence.
