13th October 2024Review ratingI booked at the last minute as my plans had changed. This tour happened to fit in with my dates and luckily I was accepted to travel. I didn’t fully check what the tour comprised of but saw it went to most of the places I had wanted to see. It didn’t disappoint and was fantastic from the start. Well chosen restaurants for our group dinners and each day took us to a variety of ‘wow’ locations. Can’t go wrong with small Provence villages, winery and olive farm tours, spectacular views, great food, along with following in the footsteps of great painters such as Cezanne and Van Gogh - and of course the opportunity for shopping. Our great guide Davide brought it all together being both relaxed and interested in us all while still imparting wisdom and getting us on time to all the fabulous places and accommodation. Plus great driving from Ervins on some pretty crazy roads!Accommodation was varied but still clean and had everything we needed. Highlights for me were the Pont du Gare, picnic under the olive trees, and the stunning views through the Gorge Verdon - and of course our guide Davide and the lovely, fun group of fellow travellers. Thanks Back Roads.
