Holly B14, Jul 2024Camille was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the areas we visited. This was a great way for us to explore Provence. We had lunch in Saint Remy and I wish I would have looked up restaurants beforehand so that we wouldn’t have wasted time looking for a place to eat. However, Camille did provide lunch recommendations.

Laura E 12, Jul 2024Our guide, Camille, was kind and knowledgeable. Camille recommended a delicious place for lunch in Saint Remy. The tour offered the perfect blend of time touring the city together and time to explore on our own. In Arles we enjoyed using our independent time to see the crypt for its history, art installation and natural air conditioning! I would welcome any opportunity to travel with Camille again in the future.
