Thierry was an excellent guide. We had a customized tour in which he ensured we visited several vintners and appellations. We learned so much about the wines and wine making in the area, which was exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend the tour and Thierry!

Fantastic tour! Chris is a fabulous guide. She is so knowledgeable, animated and kind. We saw not only the highlights of the Louvre but quite a few other important sections of the museum. We highly recommend Chris and Babylon tours.
Great tour with Thierry giving us an introduction to the southern Rhone wines and history. Lovely day!
Our guide Nicolas was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! He was full of enthusiasm and passionate about his job as a guide. 100% recommend the tour and the guide!
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with David! Learnt so much about wine of the regions and enjoyed a tasty lunch with great company. Very comfortable transport and great selection of wineries. Will look for more tours from this provider on our next visit to Avignon. 😊
Do not book with Provence Panorama! After being booked with them for 2 months & fully paid ($781.82) they contacted me 15 minutes before pickup time to cancel. Apparently the tour guide called in sick that morning and they are so thinly staffed they could not provide a substitute. We had requested to taste wine in the Vacqueyras appellation but when we were provided the itinerary one day in advance of the tour we decided to let it go, but to not show up at all when the only reason we had extended our stay in Avignon was to explore the wines added insult to injury. We had already visited the sites in the city.
We had a great experience with David as our guide. We learned so much on the tour about the region, the history, and interesting facts about the wine making process. We really appreciated David’s knowledge and going the extra mile to make sure we didn’t miss anything and got the most out of the experience. The time was well spent, the multiple vineyards were well selected and we learned a lot more about wines and winemaking than we had expected. The lunch location was excellent — great food and great views. Just great tour all around. Highly recommmend.
Great private tour of the wine country and wonderful location for lunch with a view of the valley. Our guide was very informative
I had a wonderful day with my friends. The guide is so nice and helpful. He give us lots of information and advice. We had a great day together. Highly recommended.
really enjoyed the tour, Chateau La Nerthe was fabulous and David did a wonderful job of planning a great day!
We had a terrific private tour with Nico in the Chateauneuf-du-pape region. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and was great to spend the day with. We learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommended. Next time we come back to the area we will definitely look to do another tour with him.
Very well planned your - excellent guide (David). Good content throughout. I would strongly recommend this tour
David provided an excellent experience with detailed information about the area, wine-making process, geography, etc. I highly recommend this experience for insider tips, access to great vineyards and caves.
Thierry is a fountain of knowledge on all things relating to the wines of the southern Rhone. Of particular note was his access to sommeliers that provide a wide-ranging styles from the relevant village - in particular Gigondas and Chateauneuf du Pape and adjusted to our preferences. Wished I had my notebook to jot down everything!
This trip was marketed as a private tour to "diverse wineries". We paid over $700 for what we thought would be a first-class experience. Instead, we were taken to 2 wine STORES, a MUSEUM and a chocolate STORE. When we asked to be taken to Chateau Mont-Redon to see an actual vineyard, which was literally just 10 minutes from the Chocolate Store, our driver initially refused, and only obliged after we brought up the google maps on our phone and demanded to be taken. We also had to PAY ADDITIONAL for entrance into the museum and to taste the wine at the Chocolate Store, which we refused. It was a horrible experience made worse by the fact that our driver drove ERRATICALLY and DANGEROUSLY and we did not feel safe. He also took us to his home town for lunch, where he left us alone for 2 hours. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. This is not a guide and it is most certainly not going to give you the experience you want to have for your vacation in Provence. I will say, I did request a refund for this experience, but the vendor only refunded about 30% of the total, which was incredibly disappointing.
Our wine tour with Jean-Baptiste (JB) was phenomenal!! My wife and I booked very last minute (day before) because our other tour cancelled when there were not enough people. We are so glad it worked out that way! JB had a full day planned but when we mentioned our specific interests, he immediately changed everything on the fly. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine and food and knows the region very well. I very much appreciated his stories about the history of the land, legends passed down through generations, and of course the wines and winemakers. If you are fortunate enough to have JB as your guide, you are in for a treat!!!
Nicola, our guide made this tour the most marvelous experience, so much more than we expected. His knowledge and enthusiasm for Avignon and the wines of the region were captivating. The chateaus we visited were all spectacular and special in their own way. Lunch at one of these chateaus will go down as one of the best meals we've had the pleasure of enjoying!
Great day with Emanuel as our guide in our own private sprinter van! We were able to visit a cooperative winery in Vacqueyras and try many wines. Then we went to a vineyard in Beaumes de Venise where we were taken on a tour of the winery as well as the vineyards with the owner himself! We then had a delicious lunch in Gigondas and had time to tour the hilltop town. Then went to another vineyard in Séguret and toured the winery. Lastly we were taken to Chateauneuf du pape where we were taught how to evaluate and taste wines at one of the many wineries! He also made sure to take time to stop along the way at different lookouts and important sites! Emanuel did not rush us and took time to take family photos. He was also great at sharing his knowledge on wines, the region, and history. Would recommend the full day tour so you have time to really enjoy the region and the wines.
Jean Baptiste was our guide. We had an excellent day with him, he asked what we wanted out of the tour and he easily achieved it. We a had a great lunch in chateauneuf. He also provided us with a lot of information about the differences between the local wines. Would love to go back and do another tour of different vineyards with him. We all had a day to remember as well as a lot of wine to take back to the UK!
<p>Fantastic time! JB was excellent throughout, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We had plenty of time to wander around a couple of villages as well as trying some great wines in the region. Learnt an awful lot about the wines and the area.</p>
