Our tour was well worth the money. Our guide Eric was kind, extremely knowledgeable, and great to talk to. He had a passion for sharing the history of the area with all who asked and encouraged questions. He was very professional and went above and beyond to make our trip wonderful!

Stefan greeted us at the ship and provided a fabulous tour of The Provence wine region. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine appellations, plantings, and production all over the world and shared tales of many experiences with us. We hope to encounter him again in our future visits.

My husband and I couldn't find any interesting excursions with Royal Caribbean so we booked this on Trip Advisor. It was our first time traveling overseas and our first time booking through Trip Advisor and the experience could not have been smoother. We took this tour in August of 2019. We were able to easily connect with our tour guide and the rest of our tour (a family of four). It was so nice to be in a small group where we could ask lots of questions and get a more personal experience. Our tour guide was so knowledgable and shared so much information about the wine, the area, and the culture. The wineries we went to were absolute gorgeous--beautiful views and delicious wine--what more could you ask for? We came with very little background knowledge of the wine making process so it was so fascinating to hear all about it. We got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. This tour was one of our favorite excursions and I would definitely recommend it, as it is fun, informative, and an amazing value!
