Fantastic trip. Lavender fields were extraordinary. Silvio did a great job driving us around to find the best colors and lighting during the last week of harvesting. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience.A great tour the lavender fields were incredible! The meet up was easy, we saw three different fields and all were amazing, If I had one change, I would make it shorter and skip the lavender shop & time to eat. I had kids with me and we were exhausted. But overall, definitely worth it!

Kevin, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and about lavender. Knew time was precious so he included stops that would interest the group, including some lavender ice cream, and was a fun-loving comedian along the way. We saw so many fields in both large and small sizes with different types of lavender. The light on the Valensole Plateau is amazing, but sunset was the highlight with the sunflowers as part of the scene.Guide was fantastic. Comprehensive knowledge and funny. The pictures are amazing but also the little towns and stories along the way. A fulfilling experience and definitely worth your time and money! Thank you Kevin!

This trip was amazing. Silvio, our guide, was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We started at a family farm that grows lavender, olives, and almonds. There we learned about the different types of lavender and their uses. We even got to try lavender ice cream. After this stop we went to no less than 5 different beautiful lavender fields. This is a sunset tour, which is absolutely the best time of day for photographing the fields. Also the weather was much cooler than in the middle of the afternoon. We had ample time at each field and had plenty of opportunity to explore on our own. Silvio was a great driver and the van was air conditioned. This trip was the highlight of our time in Aix en Provence. Highly recommended.
