A really enjoyable day with Arnaud - he obviously took a lot of time and care to make the tour special. Very patient, he allowed us to move at our own pace and never hurried us - so we had time to enjoy each of the locations - all of which were stunning. He had prepared a lovely picnic for us - all locally sourced from farms and shops around his own village - and we sat overlooking the valley enjoying the peace and quiet. Arnaud obviously has a passion for his work and I would recommend he tour to anyone visiting the area.483alicex

BEST PRIVATE TOUR EVER!! I highly recommend everyone who wants to visit beautiful small villages in the South of France (Vaucluse area) around Avignon to book with Ventourisme. The tour is done in small numbers so it is very personalized, private and relaxing. Thanks to the intimate small group ...
BEST PRIVATE TOUR EVER!! I highly recommend everyone who wants to visit beautiful small villages in the South of France (Vaucluse area) around Avignon to book with Ventourisme. The tour is done in small numbers so it is very personalized, private and relaxing. Thanks to the intimate small group size, we got to take our time to stroll through 4 places: L'Isle sur la Sorgue, la Fontaine de Vaucluse, Gordes, and L'Abbaye Notre Dame de Senanque. An even better bonus is that the car was extremely clean and professional with the company logo inside and outside. It wasn't a van or bus. Our guide was Arnaud and he was professional, friendly, respectful and welcoming. Arnaud took us to the main sites and had interesting facts and stories throughout. He didn't overwhelm us with facts. He shared the perfect amount of information needed to appreciate and enjoy the views for ourselves. He took us to the best places for pictures too. He is always quick to offer to take pictures for us. The guide was always attentive of our needs and reassuring us that we can ask him of anything to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. It was so evident that we were truly valued clients and he wanted us to have the best memories of the Vaucluse region. The highlight for me that stood out the most compared to all other similar tours is the beautiful PICNIC included in the tour. Arnaud prepared all necessary items like plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, table cloth, etc. We got to taste fresh local fruits (so delicious and sweet)! We also had baguette with artisanal jams and cheese. We overlooked a beautiful view of all the towns. We will never forgot this memory of France. It was a busy day, done at a leisurely and pleasant pace. We recommend 100% this company!!
