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.

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!!!We had an absolutely lovely time with Laurent visiting Avignon. Learning the history of Avignon, touring the castle and finally wine tasting at Chateauneuf du Pape was amazing! We even bought some wine to ship home!

We had an absolutely lovely time with Laurent visiting Avignon. Learning the history of Avignon, touring the castle and finally wine tasting at Chateauneuf du Pape was amazing! We even bought some wine to ship home! It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Laurent be your guide, it will be even better!Passamos um dia maravilhoso conhecendo a hostoria e provando vinhos excelentes!

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!Avignon's history, local culture & the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape private tour is very informative excurtion, The guide Laurent is very competent and will give you a lot of info about history of this region, it is very useful excurtion for people who are interested in history and architecture...
Avignon's history, local culture & the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape private tour is very informative excurtion, The guide Laurent is very competent and will give you a lot of info about history of this region, it is very useful excurtion for people who are interested in history and architecture. I would maybe make the Avignion visit a bit shorter and to make Châteauneuf du Pape winery visit longer, with more detailed observing and slower and more comprehensive degustation. Thank you OohProvance and Laurent specially for this great day! Very prfessional and responsible company.My husband and I spent the most delightful, memorable, and informative day with Christopher, exploring Avignon followed by wine tasting in Chateauneuf de Pape.
