We had a wonderful day set up by our guide Brice. He planned a great day of two wineries and also booked our lunch in advance. Looking forward to receiving the case of wine we purchased! We booked the private wine tour and there were four of us: I would definitely go again.

Wine tour with Lores as our guide!

Michelle_V, Dec 2024

Our Tour guide Lores was knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. We never felt rushed, and he was excellent at communication. His driving was excellent during the tour and very safe. He handled our luncheon orders for us, due to the fact, he knows four different languages,. I would highly highly recommend this tour and for sure this tour guide. it was amazing.

Wonderful private wine tour with our guide Jean Paul Garcia from Provence Tours

larryc19741978, Dec 2024

Jean Gabriel was fantastic and took us to three wonderful wineries in the AiX region. The drive to the various wineries had beautiful scenery Two wineries in the morning followed by lunch at an outside cafe in AiX. After lunch we walked around a bit in AiX with Jean Gabriel pointing out various historical details. Finally we visted the third winery and then back to the ship 4pm. Jean Paul was a great host who really enjoyed sharing his passion for the AiX region abd its wonderful wines. Highly reccomend booking wih Jean Paul.
