Provence Tours

"Nicolas was a very nice and knowledgeable young man- enthusiastic, upbeat and very honest with his opinions. Nicolas had a lots of patients was able to explain details even to people with limited wine knowledge. We did enjoy him and could recommend him highly."

"Wow! What a great day! We were picked up at our cruise ship right at the exit. Very easy! Drove to the bike pickup where we started our tour with Stephan. The bikes were easy to learn and so much fun. Stephan spoke perfect English and was very entertaining. Highly recommend FADA tours and Stephan our tour guide. Would not hesitate to book again! Thank you for an amazing day!"

"Wonderful packed day of discovery in Provence with Gordana. We saw many of the most charming towns, had our own time to explore at several of the stops, and received so much interesting information about various aspects of the region. I couldn't have recreated this on my own and felt it was a great value for what we experienced."

"Gregory was wonderful guide, showing our group a great variety of places in Provence, Cassis and Marseille."

"Romain was the best tour guide ever! He did an incredible job of explaining the sights in Aix & Marseille. He answered all our questions and was easy to understand. We never felt rushed and were sad to see our time with him come to a close."

"This was a great tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is visiting the area. Our guide, Florence, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and personable. She knew the area very well and was able to tailor the tour to the things we wanted to see and do. Again, a very enjoyable way to spend the day and a very interesting tour."

"Amazing tour. Even tho I didn‘t understand much but would highly recommend it. Gives you a great overview and a lot of fun."

"Excellent crew with immense skill in flying and entertainment. Made us feel comfortable from the start. Called us themselves a day before to confirm and shared details at every stage. The experience includes witnessing the inflation and deflation of the balloon (deflation process let’s the visitors become a part of the process which is an excellent touch and use of crowd effort). They end by a round of toast with high quality regional wine. Highly recommend! I would say the English guide is not as extensive as French but once you are up there, you just need to live the experience and don’t miss the guided tour."

"Our tour guide Gordanna was what made this tour memorable. The sites were breathtaking. The flamingos and the horses were amazing. Seeing the Mediterranean Sea was so beautiful and the food out of this world."

"Gordana was a fun and lively tour guide that shared lots of historical info as well as information about the wines of the region. She took us to 3 different sites - all of them were great but the last with the master sommelier was incredibly special. We would highly recommend."

"We had a lovely day with Natalie. She was friendly, on-time, and very knowledgable. Even as we got tired throughout the day, she kept her energy up until the end. We loved the wine tastings, the little tour, and learning about wine made in the Provence region. We felt comfortable and that we had an appropriate amount of time at each destination. For the afternoon villages tour, we loved the variety of places we saw. The only thing was that I wished we had more time in Lourmarin--beautiful town with some cute boutique stores! Natalie shared great information about each location and it felt like a very personal tour. Great, activity-filled day."

"This is an excellent tour, and it was great to see the black bulls, and the white horses. The running of the bulls takes place on a Sunday mid-day, and is not to be missed."

"Prune was our tour guide. Prune was a fantasti tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, and engaging. She gave us very useful and interesting info on the region and must see sites in 5 Luberon villages. Thank you Prune You are the best,"

"Our guide was excellent!. Clearly a highlight of our Mediterranean cruise. We especially enjoyed the Van Gogh Art show at Les Baux. Carrieres des Lumieres (Les Baux de Provence). We could have seen it 3 or 4 times. Just spectacular setting in the Rock Quarry. Worth every minute and of course Les Baux is so fun to explore. Enjoyed the views, the food, everything about it."

"If you would like to know Marseille in a few hours this is the perfect tour. Our guide was great and has knowledge of the city. Really beautiful city. We will come back."

"We really enjoyed our visit to the 2 wineries and tastings at each one. I chose this tour because due to my husband’s knee problems he is unable to walk far. It was perfect. Our guide was excellent .her knowledge of English was very good and her in depth explanation of wine making in France was very thorough. The beautiful scenery and close up views of the estates made us feel we were seeing the ‘real France. We also visited the small town of Aix-en-Provence, a pretty old town with narrow streets and a square. We were the only 2 people on the tour so we truly had a private one!"

"My husband and I took a day trip to Marseille and booked a tour with Sarit. She reached out before our tour to let us know the meetings point and agree on a convenient time. She also called day of the tour to make sure we knew where we were supposed to meet. The tour covered all of the historical points in the Old City, as well as street art, and Sarit had great stories about the city, recommendations for museums, restaurants, and excursions, and was just overall very kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We had a great experience, and would highly recommend the tour to anyone planning a trip to Marseille!"

"Pont st Julien and Gordes beyond imagination Perfect stopping time, photo opportunities Lovely information, varied and interesting."

"We choose this trip because we had 2 firm interests: the Ochre Path and Gordes.|We had our accomodation in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, so we asked them if we could be picked up there, they confirmed and this is how it happened.|Nico, our driver turned up on time, picked us up, gave us a heads-up on how the day would look like and we hit the road. Nico such a sweet, attentive man gave a little background on every stop and the surrounding landscape, provided a map and let us go, telling us the time and place he would pick us up later. It turned out to be always the right time needed to roam around - except for Roussillon, where we asked for an additional 15 mins. Even with this extra, we finished the day as planned.|First stop, Fountaine, once-home for Petrarca, is a cute little town with such clean and chill air. The river was really low in early September. Peek into Paper Museum free. They were just openening at the Petrarca Museum but we were reluctant to pay 7ish Euros for the entry and we didn't have time, so we skipped it.|Next, Lavender Museum of the Chateau du Bois/Lincele Family in Custellet. Video of the lavender/ine distillation was interesting but stopped short and then we were rushed through the 'museum' by our salesperson. Apparently there was some misunderstanding between the companies. We could just have skipped this.|Next, Abbaye de Senanque, a working monastery, charming and we just cought the end of a mass, less touristy as not in lavender season, nice shop.|Next, Gordes, panorama photoshoot. Lunch sandwiches but restaurant was also recommended, wandering on the lovely streets again, no mood for paying 10ish EUR for the Vasarely exhibition, shame on us.|Next, Roussillon and the Ochre Path entry: 2.50EUR, appr. 25mins, is a must! The village is just so nice, we liked it even more than Gordes.|Last stop, Menerbes, Picasso had a house here, find Joe Downing Park across. Lovely place.|So, in short: totally recommended, worth every penny. Ask for Nico!"

"We spend time in five villages, every one with its specific beautiful Provence charm ! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and so easy going."

"We were so happy to visit Arles & see the places painted by Van Gogh. Our guide was great. She explained so much about this lovely historic town. Definitely worth it!"

"It was an amazing tour. Our guide/driver, Remy from Tylene Tours was very charming and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him."
