The guide was very friendly and on the way to the fields he spoke about the history of Avignon. When we got to the valley he spoke about the start of the farming community that lives there. We had more than enough time to wander around the lavender factory and then we went to the fields. Not once were we rushed and the tour guide even offered to help take our photos. It was raining on and off so we finished the fields quickly voluntarily and headed to the town of Sault. He gave us the option to stay in the town longer or to go to another field after the town, which was super nice. Thankfully it wasn't raining when we went to another field that he found so we were all able to get our pictures! Late July maybe wasn't the best time to go as much of the lavender was harvested but the guide made sure we still got to see great fields.
It was a terrible tour and a complete waste of time. In fact, it wasn’t a tour. The guide was more like a driver. He dropped us here and there and said he would be back in 45 min. He barely spoke English. He said the microphone in the van was broken. I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone and, in fact, I am a user of Viator a not and I don’t think I will use them anymore (after the tour we have scheduled for tomorrow) VERY disappointing!
Best visiting time for Lavender in early July. Still an enjoyable trip with Sunflower field and magnificent views.
Francois was great. Very informative, kind, and funny. I loved my tour to the fields and other places. Thank you!
Very nice tour!
This trip was such great value! The driver kept us informed and amused with his stories and information during our drive. We were able to walk through the lavender which was such a joy. Seeing the still rustic and traditional 'processing' building felt like a step back int time. So worth it, in fact i would do it again.
I have offered this trip to my sister as a gift while she was visiting several cities in Provence. She loved Provence, but this trip is, she said, the absolute highlight of the whole stay. She says that the guide Nicholas was the coolest guy ever, putting all the participants at their ease telling a lot of interesting facts about lavender and the region and wine and traditions etc etc. The trip was also very well organized in terms of time and places visited. Thank you for making this present a very good one!
