We had a great time with Sebastien who was very knowledgeable on the area and history. He was a great driver and provided commentary and answered questions during the 1.5 hour drive. In Avignon he provided great insights on the possibilities and the amount of time each would take. We loved this tour and was a highlight of our vacation! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Marseille and interested in both wine and medieval history.

Excellent private tour guide who drove us and then we independently viewed the cathedral on our own. She got the tickets so there was no waiting. Also had spare time for lunch, and little shopping. Also we didn’t do wine tour since we don’t drink and we had a 6yr old. So instead she did take us for a driving tour of Marseille which was perfect. Plus she took us to a grocery store so we could get a few things before getting back on our cruise ship! Awesome!

Unfortunately we started the tour more than one hour late, however, our experience at the one winery in Chateauneuf du Pape was excellent! It would have been a better tour if there was at least one additional winery visit in the region. The time in Avignon could have been shorter.

Our guide was wonderful - very personable and picked us up on time and with sign and name as promised right when we exited ship. We were in the mood to see a quick wine tour stop which candidly on this was more of a vineyard warehouse store tasting stop and not an actual vineyard tour per se though they do offer an audio accompanied walk through which covered the highlights. Then off to Avignon for a wonderful afternoon of lunch, shopping, sightseeing and wandering the beautiful walled city. Really enjoyed our day and our driver once again was so very kind and helpful!

It was a delightful day all around. I was especially impressed by our trip to Châteauneuf du Pape, which is just a beautiful bit of countryside, and the time we spent at the winery there. I have been to a number of wineries before, but never gotten such a personalised tour from the owner herself! I could have stayed in that town for hours, just because of the beauty. Avignon was wonderful in another way; the free time we were given made it possible to have a wonderful lunch, as well as see part of the city. If you are expecting to see everything in one afternoon, you're delusional, but the amount of time gave us a wonderful taste of life there. My only criticism of our time was the fact that we could only spend a day - we were on a cruise - when I would have loved to spend a week!
