Excellent tour and guide Nico did an excellent job. Took us to some back roads to view lavender without the other tourist. Awesome day, highly recommend tour.
We had a great one day tour hosted by Nico (ProVans Tours). Tour showed up in time and we had a comfortable, clean van with air conditioning for the day which was very pleasant. Nico's English was very good and his narration throughout was friendly and informative and he was happy to answer any questions. This tour was their Violet tour which was a route of 175kms, The pacing was great and we had enough time at all the scheduled stops the museum, Senanque, Gordes, Rousillion and Sault. We are a bit early for the lavender to be in full bloom but Nico managed to find us some fields which were close and made excellent photos. Gordes was lovely and the restaurant recommendations were fab, Rousillion was also lovely and the hike around the ochre path was spectacular. All in all this was a great tour which we highly recommend and can't thank Nico and Veronica enough for making this such a great trip. The restaurant recommendations and places to see in Avignon were also very helpful and added to our enjoyment of the town. Merci beaucoup!
We really enjoyed the time that we had with this tour. We had 2 hours to enjoy our lunch at Roussion. The lavender fields were beautiful. The tour guide was excellent and attentive to our needs.
Enjoyed it very much. We saw everything we wanted to see and the driver/guide was very, very accommodating and resourceful!
A beautiful experience , Nico was very informative , friendly and made sure we visit nice places and did not rush through. We had a memorable time enjoying the beauty of provence villages and the lavender fields , I totally recommend this trip , Thank you very much :. Dora and Mithun.
Veronica was an excellent guide, taking us to lavender areas off the typical tourist path. She is friendly and accommodating, a pleasure to be with for 9.5 hours :-)
