From Marseille: Full-Day Tour of Provence

Step into the heart of Provence, where rolling lavender fields, sun-drenched villages, and timeless charm await. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey through scents, flavors, and stories that linger long after you’ve left. Let the golden light, warm breezes, and rich history wrap around you as you explore a land that feels like a living postcard.

Tour Overview

Picture a day where every turn reveals something new: the scent of herbs on the wind, the crunch of gravel underfoot in a medieval village, the way the sunlight dances on ancient stone. You’ll wander through places where time moves slower, where locals greet you like old friends, and where every meal tastes like a celebration. It’s not just sightseeing—it’s savoring the soul of Provence, one unforgettable moment at a time.

Immersing in Pont du Gard

Stand in the shadow of the Pont du Gard, a towering Roman aqueduct that has watched over the Gardon River for over 2,000 years. The warm stone glows in the sunlight, and the gentle rush of water below feels like a whisper from history. Walk across its ancient arches or dip your toes in the river’s cool shallows—this is where human ingenuity and nature’s beauty meet in perfect harmony.

Nearby, olive groves stretch toward the horizon, their silver leaves shimmering. Take a moment to sit beneath their gnarled branches, breathe in the earthy scent, and let the dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing—wash over you.

Memorable Moments

  • The first glimpse of Roussillon’s ochre cliffs, glowing like embers in the afternoon sun, as you wind through its rust-colored streets.
  • Sharing laughter and a glass of rosé with a local artisan in Gordes, their hands still dusted with clay from the day’s work.
  • Standing atop a hill in Luberon, where the patchwork of vineyards and lavender fields stretches as far as the eye can see—like nature’s own quilt.
  • The quiet magic of a Provençal market, where the air hums with chatter and the scent of fresh bread, ripe peaches, and herbs tied with twine.

Provence doesn’t just invite you to visit—it invites you to belong, if only for a day. So come along, let the landscapes steal your breath and the flavors dance on your tongue. This is more than a tour; it’s your story waiting to unfold. Will you be part of it?

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of this breathtaking destination—where every detail is designed to delight, inspire, and leave you with stories to cherish. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be wrapped in warmth, adventure, and the kind of hospitality that feels like coming home.

A Seamless, Stress-Free Adventure

  • Private, comfortable transport that glides you from one wonder to the next—whether it’s a spacious van with panoramic windows for soaking in the landscapes or a traditional boat bobbing on turquoise waters at sunset. No crowded buses, no rushing; just the freedom to lean back and let the scenery unfold.
  • Handpicked stays in charming, locally owned lodges and boutique hotels, where the scent of fresh blooms drifts through open windows and the hosts greet you by name. Think cozy fireplaces in the mountains, hammocks strung between palm trees by the sea, and beds so inviting you’ll sigh with relief after a day of exploration.
  • All meals—prepared with love and local flair. Wake up to steaming coffee and just-baked bread, savor picnics of ripe fruit and artisanal cheeses in hidden meadows, and gather for feasts under the stars where recipes have been passed down for generations. (Dietary wishes? We’ve got you—just say the word.)
  • A passionate local guide who doesn’t just recite facts but shares stories—of ancient legends, their grandmother’s secret spice blend, or the time they got lost in the jungle and found a waterfall no map had ever marked. They’ll answer your curious questions, adjust the pace to your energy, and point out the little things tourists often miss.

Moments That Stay With You

  • Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the surface. Roll up your sleeves to learn basket-weaving from a master artisan, join a family in their home for a cooking lesson where laughter is the main ingredient, or sit cross-legged in a temple as a monk shares the philosophy that shapes daily life here. These aren’t performances—they’re invitations.
  • Off-the-beaten-path surprises, like a sunrise hike to a viewpoint known only to shepherds, a spontaneous concert by musicians in a village square, or a dip in a hidden hot spring while the mist curls over the valleys. We save room for magic.
  • Thoughtful touches to make the journey yours: a handwritten note with your morning tea, a polaroid of your group mid-laughter to tuck into your journal, or a small token from a local market—chosen just for you—waiting on your pillow. Because the best travels aren’t just seen; they’re felt.
  • Peace of mind, always. From 24/7 support to carefully vetted experiences, we’ve swept the logistical worries off your plate. Need a doctor? A last-minute restaurant reservation? A quiet corner to recharge? Consider it done. You’re here to wander, not to wonder.

All That’s Left for You?

Pack your curiosity, leave room in your heart, and let us handle the rest. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a love letter to the places and people who’ll steal a piece of yours.
