We booked a day tour to the Luberon Villages from Aix. Alex was our guide. We were so fortunate to have Alex as his knowledge of the history and the area was exceptional! There was only 2 of us on the tour and Alex made us feel very special and he went out of his way to make sure we had a fabulous trip. Definitely recommend this tour especially if you have Alex!
A fantastic tour! Ugo has an extraordinary talent in storytelling,. Clear explanations, perfect rhythm and zero boredom. Thanks again for the beautiful day!
