My deep passion for my own region and my never-ending enthusiasm combine to insure that you will see and taste the best Provence has to offer with an emphasis on Cultural Tourism, Entertainment, & Gastronomy. 10 years of combined experience in the guest service and hospitality industries helped me understand the importance of a service that is dedicated to creating a reliable, personal, and positive travel experience. With a comfortable air-conditioned van, I can tour up to 6 passengers in my own vehicle, and up to 8 in a rental one. Along with my personal language skills and my natural curiosity and enjoyment of diverse cultures and people, you can be assured of a journey you will want to share and perhaps repeat.Representing the “heart” of my region to the world is my pleasure. « less

I was staying in Paris for 10 days but wanted to spend a day in Avignon to check out the area. We booked Marlene for the day tour and I'm very satisfied with her service. She greeted us at the TGV platform and then took us to many amazing places like Pont du Gard and Gordes. Despite the low season... More

We did have some reservations beforehand about the tour fee for a full day. However, the day we spent with Marlene far exceeded expectations my wife and I had. The tour had to be changed the night before beacuse of very bad weather. Marlene had already listened to what we wanted from the tour and came up with several other... More

Had the pleasure exploring Provence with Marlene Boyer....what a wonderful experience! A very knowledgeable and insightful person. This was not your run of the mill guide. She took us to many out of the way places and took time to explain the beauty of the area. You could tell she really enjoyed what she did. I will definitely get in... More

We had a short stay in Provence and wanted to maximize our visit. Marlene created a customized itinerary for the day that allowed us to see Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Wine Tasting in Les Allpilles, and more. Marlene is professional, personable, and flexible. More

We visited Provence in October 2011 and spend two full days with Marlene touring the hill top villages of the Luberon one day and Avignon, Chateauneuf du Pape and Pont du Gard the next. Marlene is both flexible and totally engaged. Highly recommended. More

We stayed in St. Remy for four nights in Nov. 2011. We are so glad we hired Marlene for our first day there. She was prompt and her van suited my tall husband perfectly. She was so easy to work with - flexible about our choices but also making excellent recommendations. She is very well-versed about the area and made... More

Having twin 11 year old daughters, we were unsure of how we chould maximise our time and interest during the period we were spending in Provence. As soon as I e-mailed Marlene to discuss it (based on all the favourable reviews that she had received), she was able to make suggestions to get the best coverage of the area and... More

This lady is wonderful! I found Marlene through Trip Advisor and decided to use her service after reading all of the fantastic reviews. She customized our day tour based on our requests and drove us sight to sight sharing history and her love of the region. Her personality is warm and energetic and her English is perfect.

Marlene Boyer of Experience Provence made our visit to that area unforgettable. 3 couples spent 5 days experiencing the beauty and history of Provence with Marlene. She is hard-working, professional, knowledgeable and lots of fun. We felt that she offered us glimpses of the area that we never would have experienced on our own, including introducing us to local people.... More

We were most fortunate to tour Provence with Marlene Boyer of Experience Provence during the four-day period September 24 through September 27, 2011. We found Marlene to be the most professional tour guide we have engaged in several decades of travel. She possesses detailed and intimate knowledge of every aspect of the region. Each of our four tour days was... More
