We were on our honeymoon during the Covid pandemic and doing well in France until we found ourselves without a rental car. Florence came to our rescue in Provence and the Luberon because we wanted to do some wine tasting in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. She provided a comfortable Mercedes van with tours of three tasting rooms where English was well-spoken and the staff were very attentive. She then took us to the original chateau for a visit, all the while giving us an excellent narration of the local history and sights of the area. She was so kind and engaging and she arranged to give us transportation to Avignon to catch our train to Nice the following day!

We recommend her highly to any English speaking tourists in Provence/Luberon area as well as in Paris where she also guides.

Thanks again for all your kindness, Florence. One suggestion, I’m afraid we missed some of your great knowledge due to the road noise!

All the best to you and we will certainly recommend you to our friends visiting France!

We had a spectacular experience at Chateauneuf du Pape with Florence! This was our first time in Provence and Florence introduced us to the best wine tasting. She was very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and she responded to all our questions. We had a magnificent day with her and we look forward to coming back. All the best to you, Florence. Thank you again!
