We had to cancel our excursion on 5/28/2020 because of the pandemic. I have requested a refund as per their policy, but they will not answer my calls or respond to my 4 emails. I know this is a difficult time, but they should at least acknowledge my requests. I have received refunds from all other excursions we had booked. I booked this per TripAdvisor recommendation.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. This tour is exactly as advertised. You will visit 2 vineyards in the morning and 1 in the afternoon after lunch, which is on your own. You will learn about wine making and the variety of wines in this area. I was impressed also by the access to the vineyards granted to our guide and us. This was a great tour.

A unique private wine tour in the scenic landscape of Mont Sainte Victoire inspiration for post impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, who painted many pictures of the mountain from 1880. We begin the tour exploring the old town of Aix-en-Provence seeking out some of the historic areas associated with Cézanne and a visit to discover the street markets and an abundance of local food produce. Provence considered some of the most natural in France, due to the drying effects of the Mistral wind & shallow rocky soils, formed by limestone & sandstone which produces high quality vines. Learn about the characteristics of the land whilst visiting the cellars of two different vineyards. Meet the winemakers, taste the wines - full-bodied reds, subtle elegant rosés & distinctive whites. In the middle of the day, lunch to sample local provençal cuisine - an exceptional day out sampling the delights of good food & wine and discovering the delights of Cézanne country in the heart of Provence.

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!!

My mom and I booked a day wine tour last minute, and Rémi was super flexible and accommodating! We didn't expect to have so much fun and learn so much about Provence's history at the same time. It honestly ended up being the best part of our trip - Rémi is the best! I'd recommend Gentle Provence to anyone.
