Small-Group Tours in Provence
Discover Provence on a scheduled small-group tour shared with fellow travelers. Our experiences bring together a planned selection of destinations and visits, allowing you to choose a day trip that reflects your interests without arranging a private itinerary.
Explore the available tours for your travel dates, with options focused on village discoveries, seasonal landscapes, wine, and cultural heritage. Each experience follows its own published program.
-
Find a Provence Day Trip for Your Stay
Choose your tour according to your departure location and the experiences you would most like to enjoy. Browse the options available for stays in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, then check the meeting arrangements on the selected product page.
Not every itinerary departs from both cities. Confirm the exact departure point and touring schedule before booking.
-
Explore with a Published Itinerary
Small-group tours follow an established route, with the destinations, guided visits, and any independent time described in advance. This format suits travelers who enjoy exploring with others and prefer to select a planned experience.
Review the itinerary carefully rather than assuming that every tour includes the same stops. Seasonal experiences also have specific departure periods and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is included in a Provence tour?
Inclusions vary by experience. Check the individual tour page for transport, guiding, admission fees, wine tastings, meals, and pickup arrangements. Some itineraries may provide independent time for lunch rather than an included meal, so review the details before booking.
-
Can I combine villages, lavender fields and wine tastings in one day?
Contact our team to assess the combination you have in mind. Feasibility depends on your departure location, the distances involved, seasonal lavender availability, and winery appointments. A focused itinerary with fewer stops can allow more time to enjoy each experience.
-
Can I customize a private Provence tour?
Contact our team to discuss a private itinerary focused on your interests, whether you prefer villages, lavender landscapes, wine, history, or art. Share your travel dates, starting location, group size, and preferred destinations. The final route depends on travel time, seasonal conditions, and visit availability.
-
Can I visit Arles, Saint-Rémy and Les Baux on one tour?
Yes. Our Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux cultural tour brings these destinations together in one published itinerary. Consult the product page for the departure location, visiting program, guiding arrangements, and any admission fees included.
-
Do you offer Provence wine tours and tastings?
Yes. Our Provence wine experiences include vineyard visits and guided tastings, with a half-day wine tour among the options. Review the selected itinerary for the wine area visited and tasting arrangements. If Bandol or Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a priority, contact our team to discuss a suitable experience.
-
Which villages can I visit on a Provence tour?
Our village-focused experiences include destinations such as Gordes and Roussillon in the Luberon. Les Baux-de-Provence also features in our cultural itinerary with Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

-
Can I book a Provence lavender fields tour?
Yes. Our Valensole lavender fields tour offers a seasonal experience focused on these landscapes. Check the published departure dates before planning your trip.
