We just got off Mike's van, after he picked us up and dropped us off directly in front of our hotel. I reached out to Mike in advance of our arrival and was not sure where or when we wanted to go on the tour but he reached out to us a couple of days in advance to talk things through and we planned to go to the Southern Rhone, Mourchorn winery. Mike was right on time picking us up, brought some waters and gave us a great handy book. He is extremely knowledgeable, smart and takes pride in his work. We absolutely loved his tour and recommend it to anyone coming to the Arles or Avignon area. Mike really is absolutely wonderful and gives his all into his work. I honestly wish we did a full day tour with him instead of a half day tour. Thank you for all of your help Mike!!!!

Our group of six people joined Jean Marc and his lovely wife, Alice, for an incredible day of cooking, eating, and immersion into Provencal cuisine. They are the consummate hosts. And, Jean Marc is a gifted chef and, more importantly, gifted teacher. From coffee and cookies just out of the oven, to the tour of the local Farmers' Co-op, to the preparation of each course, to tips on spices, herbs, meal presentation, feasting (with wine pairings for each course), and conversation, this was a day that we will all remember. It was THE HIGHLIGHT of our two weeks in France!

I am an independent licensed guide providing tours of the main cities and monuments of Provence, but also driving around the beautiful famous and less famous sites of the area in my own mini van. After working for many years as a guide for groups, I decided to specialize in private tours (2014 is my 10th year!) to share my love and knowledge about Provence and France in general. Having lived and travelled abroad, I know what a difference it makes to visit with a local. Tours with me are always a mix of history, food and wine, local experience and daily life. I also specialize in theme tours (painters, Jewish Heritage, Roman architecture...) and special requests.
