        Nice stop
        Our guide brought us here for a wine tasting at the end of a day. The sommelier was very knowledgeable as was our guide about the history of the estate.

        An Excellent Day in Provence with a New Friend
        Our tour with Chris was a wonderful way to spend a day exploring the Luberon Valley. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel in Arles, he provided an experience that was educational and more importantly, FUN. We visited vineyards and an olive oil mill and were able to sample some lovely understated wines and some pretty mind-blowing olive oil varieties. Chris ferried us all about and took us to grab a quick bite in Lourmarin before visiting the Chateau du Lourmarin. We did a good bit of riding but Chris paced out the stops so that it didn’t feel like we were trapped in the car and we enjoyed plenty of walking around some gorgeous places. Our time chatting and walking around with Chris didn’t feel so much like a guided tour as a visit with a friend. We truly enjoyed his company and cannot recommend OohProvence tours enough. If you are looking for an immersive experience that isn’t too serious (although I’m sure they could be if that was your thing), then reach out to Chris and Laurent.

        My Experience with Laurant and OohProvence.
        We had actually been in Aix-en-Provence for a couple of days and where not sure what new things are guide would show us. Laurant, our guide , showed us parts of the city we had never seen yet. It was a wonderful tour and he couldn't have been any nicer and knowledgeable about the city and its history. We took two more-day trips with Laurant and each one was better than the last. I would highly recommend him and his company.

        Amazing experience
        My husband and I tremendously enjoyed this tour with Laurent! We enjoyed how personal the whole day was and would book another tour with this company next time we are in the region. Laurent was very personable, knowledgable, and passionate about wine. The wineries we visited were all welcoming and helped us better understand Chateauneuf Du Pape wine - we learned something new at each winery. We would highly recommend this tour!

        Great guide, but the overall experience is very average and can be improved significantly.
        Chris was great - very knowledgeable and helpful. We liked him a lot and he made experience good. But the selection of vineyards is questionable - the last one, Chateau Fortia, while considered to have some good vines (objectively/reviews), is not really worth visiting. Nothing to see and tasting experience is far below average at best. I contacted and tried to inquire the list before the tour and was told it will be selected closer to the tour. And when I inquired closer to the tour and asked what I was really interested in I was told the selection is set and will bee great. While first 2 chateaus are worth a visit and provide and good experience (Gardine, Nerth), overall I would not recommend and would rather pick the chateaus you like and go on your own schedule.

        Intoxicated with the Pope's preferred Wine Appellation and History
        Christopher is a responsible and punctual. He made sure he managed all aspects of this tour perfectly. We visited 3 wineries and 1 chocolate outlet. Also visited the ruins of the castle in which the pope had resided and which was then used by the Germans in WW2 and mostly destroyed. Had wine tastings in all 3 wineries. As Chateau La Nerthe was our first one we spend maximum time there with the very quirky Mr Alexi who was very passionate about all things wine. Interesting that one full section was blocked out & never discovered by the German overtake in WW2. After a fast lunch in a beautiful restaurant nearby, we visited Chateau de la Gardine with its funny bottle designs. Again the hostess lead us to wine tasting and we curbed our gulps and spat out more as we were getting intoxicated Finally we visited Chateau Fortia the smallest and me Ms Miguenelle and team. Time being short didn't visit the storage areas and bought some wines In between visited the Castle which was lovely and full of history, which we really loved but the heat was too much to stay longer. Finally the Chocolate outlet Chocolaterie Castelain was comparatively a let down as we couldn't see production. Also we do not get the choicolates we prefer to be packed and weighed and given we have to take the pre-packed sets. So we did. Mr Christopher on the other hand is knowledgeable, very interested in his line of work 7 that shows. Makes sure we are enjoying as well. Guides us on the right buys and was so wonderful to drop us off to the market center in Marseilles after a shirt stop to drop off our purchase at our hotel. He was so thoughtful to pack us some souvenirs of Provence. I would highly recommend Christopher always he is really wonderful person

        The Romans, Van Gogh & Nostradamus
        A day in Provence with Christopher is like a dream you want to keep having over and over again. There was perfect communication even before we met...with a great solution as how to see everything on my wish list. Somehow between Arles & Saint- Remy we managed to view magnificent Roman ruins, the street where Nostradamus lived, and where Van Gogh underwent treatment as he continued to paint. And the smell of the lavender just added to the mood. Besides being charming, intellectual, personable and all around delightful, Christopher was very attentive to my energy since I was still recovering from a cold and not feeling at all like myself. It truly was like being shown the in's & out's of the most charming cities by a close, personal friend. I only wish we had more time to spend (and that I had felt better). Do not hesitate to take a tour with OohProvence. It is truly an OohLaLa experience!

        A highlight of our two weeks !
        We had a spectacular day, very well paced and planned through the French countryside to small villages with Laurent, who must know every inch of the area. He is a great storyteller, funny, and opened our eyes to seeing things we may not have noticed on our own. Plus, he knew a few good shops along the way. Highly recommend him and this company. Their communications are terrific every step of the way!

        Absolutely recommend. 10/10 experience.
        Our guide Laurent was a terrific guide. He was friendly, and incredibly insightful and knowledgeable with every place we visited. He tirelessly introduced and explained the history/facts of sites, monuments and areas. Laurent made the entire day an enjoyable experience. We were all comfortable and felt the day was easy and relaxed. We recommend Laurent to anyone looking to enjoy a day visiting and being charmed by Luberon villages.

        This was a fabulous day tour for us
        Laurent and Chris were fabulous, they were informative, interesting and helpful while being a little fun as well. They arranged and managed a great day for us amongst the town and chateaus that we loved from start to end. We came across the world to see and experience this - so high expectations…. And they exceeded even those.

        Oh La La - A bit of French Country Provence in Napier - Quiet & Beautiful
        Stunning Quiet Accomodation in Napier set in a quiet setting in a beautiful garden. We stayed for three nights perfect accommodation in French Country Style - welcoming muffins on the table. Two Rooms - Large Lounge at the front and good sized Bedroom out the back. The decor is antique French chic - comfy bed with high quality linen, good bathroom with hot shower and fluffy towels. There is a self service breakfast of cereals, fruit and toast provided along with coffee pods, teas. There is a microwave. This was all adequate for us but others may wish to go out for dinner. We absolutely loved this accomodation check in was easy and friendly. If you love something that fits in with a beautiful garden with mature trees and statues that you can take an evening stroll in. You might see a rabbit and there are some quail as well. The garden has a gazebo and covered area just outside for use. This is suitable for couples.

        Simon/Cupkovic French Experience
        Our guide, Laurent Nurisso, was excellent. We actually did three full day tours including the tiny hilltop villages tour from Gordes to Lourmarin, Marseille, Cassis, Nice, and Cannes, among other cities. It was historical, educational, fun and a real exhilarating workout, too! On future trips to France, we would definitely use OohProvence again and strongly recommend them!!

        Simon/Cupkovic France Trip
        Our tour guide, Laurent Nurisso of OohProvence was excellent! We had three full days of tours in Provence in the south of France and it could not have been better. It was historical, educational, fun and an excellent workout. We would definitely use OohProvence again on our future trips to France!!

      Our tour guide, Chris, was knowledgable, accommodating, personable, and a great deal of fun. He gave great insights into the venues and was sensitive to our interests and pace. Helped with our photography and with many good suggestions and tips for the other days of our stay in Provence. Very comfortable transportation and always prepared on time. There is nothing we would change about the two days of touring we did with Chris and Ooh Provence.

      Thank you both so much. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the half day visit to Avignon, plus the full day to include Pont du Gard and Villeneuve Les Avignon. It was a lot to fit in a full day, but from our side very enjoyable. I hope the rest of your stay goes well and look forward to welcoming you back to Provence next time you visit - we've only really scratched the surface of what's out there ;-) Christopher OohProvence
