We took the day tour of Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo. The driver was friendly and informative. Loved Eze and Monaco. The Monte Carlo area was disappointing...just not our thing, I guess. Did not like the perfume factory tour along the way. The highlight was Eze, and the wonderful driver, Alessandro.

Maybe you know the famous Aix's nickname: "The thousand fountains city". Well, there many fountains, it is true, but no thousand, just many. On the other hand, you know, in the South of France, often we "overstate". Anyway, they are beautiful. So, it is time to discover them even if sometimes, they are hidden in gardens! From "la Rotonde" to the "Cours Mirabeau", learn about the secrets of the fountains and gardens.

This is a review about our experience "so far" with Christopher and Ooh Provence. A number of months ago, as usual, I did extensive research and found a photographer and I contacted him to see about a photo experience while in Marseille. He responded immediately and then told me about his tour company which extends beyond just photography. It was perfect...a guide that could help 2 amateur photographers get some unique shots in a great city plus learn about the history at the same time. I find this is a great way to explore a city. So, of course ,I booked and paid the deposit etc. and we confirmed our date. Then along came Covid 19 and I finally had to cancel .This company offers full refund up to 24 hours in advance of tour and Christopher had no problem with an immediate refund. I will add that is not the case with some hotels etc. I am so impressed with the customer service under very extraordinary circumstances and will definitely book with Ooh Provence in the future when we can return post Covid. Based on my experience so far I am sure we will have a great time touring Marseille and the surrounding area with Christopher. I often find the true test of a good travel company is how they handle unexpected problems and can be flexible. Christopher delivers on this for sure!!

Come and taste Marseille on a platter! Departing from the Major Cathedral, we will travel through the historic Panier district in search of Marseille specialties: panisse, chichi, navette, pompe à l'huile, and many more will have no secrets for you. We will also visit the Maison du Pastis with a very moderate tasting of this artisanal and traditional appetizer. We will end this route at the colorful Noailles market where the thousand and one flavors of the Orient await us for a "blind test" of the spices of the world.
Inclusions: All tastings at markets and traditional food stores are included

We really enjoyed our visit to the Palais des Papes. The iPad supplied with the admission ticket provides an interactive guide to each room or area that you visit. Great views of the city, river and Pont d Avignon from the top. Well worth a visit.

We did an online wine tasting and it was a real pity we couldn’t have a physical one. It was amazing. Yuliya helped to buy and select wine for tasting, she gave a lot of information about how to taste wine, what to look for and how to navigate this complicated French wine landscape. I would definitely love to do this again in real life!

First off let’s start with Ivette, our guide. She sealed the five stars with her calm reassurance, attentiveness, and low key management whilst at the same time being a lovely and interesting companion for the day. The organisation is great, from Gustav’s initial communication to his greeting in the shop and even the arrangement with the patisserie around the corner is far from what your initial cynicism suspects (or is that just me?). The cycling there was fairly hard going, even with the power assistance, although the 30+ heat did have a bearing on that. Stating the obvious, coming down is a lot easier.....and exhilarating. The tour around the vineyard is informative and informal and makes you fully appreciate why you pay a premium for a quality wine. That said, the four varieties produced at the winery are reasonably priced and hopefully taste as good back home as they did while eating lunch and fresh figs from the tree (once Ivette showed me where they were). A memorable day that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone capable of riding a bike.

After crossing the colorful little streets of a typical Provencal neighborhood and an idyllic path by the sea, you will dive into the waters of the Mediterranean to discover the species that live there. You will find yourself facing nature, in the middle of the sea to carry out an activity whose ecological impact will be minimal. On the route, urban interventions, caves, special ecosystems and a great diversity of fauna and flora are mixed. Physical challenges will surprise the most daring. Your body and your mind will be grateful for a relaxing and sporting activity in which your sensitivity for the sea and nature will be strengthened. Weather conditions will determine our course.
