A relaxing day seeing the highlights of Provence

The tour was excellent. Nicolas provided great information and made getting around the sights a breeze. This was an excellent stress fee way to see the highlights of Provence in a day. The Van Gogh sites were really interesting and Arles was one of the most beautiful places I have been. Nicolas answered everyone’s questions and also provided us some great tips for places to eat lunch. Highly recommend this as a way to see Provence.
