Luberon half day villages tour

5.00Gordana says she is an expert. And she is. The villages she took us to were absolutely amazing but it was her commentary that brought everything to life as she was able to give insightful historical context along with modern perspectives and practices. An example would be the "dry stone wall" construction style mandated for the Gordes region required to maintain historical connections, - Gordana pointed out a modern house currently being built where the dry stones are being manually cut and used to cover inner construction that meets modern standards. Gordana has a certain flare in the delivery of her narrative which mixed with a touch of humour made the whole (half) day a wonderful experience for us all.
Enjoy the beautiful Avignon countryside!

5.00A wonderful tour of the scenic towns outside of Avignon. Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable and entertaining. While we missed the lavender flowering season, there were still lots of opportunities to take great photos. There were several stops where we had time to walk around and take in the local sights. Highly recommended!

5.00Thank you so so much, Gordana! After four days of tons of walking, her knowledge and transportation was a breath of fresh air. A true wealth of knowledge and kind individual. I am so glad we got to meet her and hear her story. Go with Gordana because it’ll be more special than if you hadn’t.
Delightful half day tour!

5.00Gordana provided us with a delightful tour of Luberon and it's hilltop villages. She is very knowledgeable about it's history, agriculture and nature. If I had more time in Avignon I would take another one of the tours she offers. 5 stars!
Best small group tour in Provence

5.00Our guide Eric is a warm French countrymen with charming accent. He is friendly, professional and knowledgable about the area. Not only has he entertained us with the local history but also the story of the boutique tour company where he works alongside the director Godana and her daughter Emily. The tour operates in small groups ( max 8) and is well organised to include all major touristic sites over just 5 hours. It is short but sweet, perfect for someone with a quick stopover in Avignon who wants a snapshot of the beautiful villages. I love the lavender ice cream recommended by Eric and will definitely come back for another tour with Eric and Godana.
What a great guide and such wonderful sites to see

5.00We had such a great time on this tour with Gordana! She was so cheerful and full of interesting information! We had booked a half day tour but decided to continue on for the full day and it was so worth it! We got to see places it would be very difficult to see on our own and having such an excellent guide was well worth the price! We highly recommend tours with Gordana’s company.

5.00Our family (mum, dad & 2 teenagers) spent half a day exploring local villages close to Avignon. Our host Emily was lovely and very knowledgeable about the local area. She showed us some very special spots where we could admire not only the town history but the natural wonders they had been built upon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique experience with a passionate guide.
