Active Tours in Provence

Getting Out to Explore

There are a lot of ways to explore Provence for those of you who like to stay active. Biking, hiking, kayaking, private boat tours to name a few. A favorite for many of my guests has been the electric bike ride in the Luberon region. Time and time again guests say it was the highlight of the week. A little more adventurous would be the sea kayaking in Cassis or the river hike behind the Mont Ventoux. Let Emily know your desired « active » level and she’ll incorporate a nice range of activities so you can get up close to nature and refuel your spirit of adventure.

A Week in Provence – October 2017

""As we contemplated our first visit to Provence to identify a village that we might return to for an extended stay, we wanted to slow travel through several small villages with nearby vineyards. Prior to our trip, Emily created a customized itinerary to best meet our interests and needs.  To start our week together, Emily met us at the train station and then proceeded to comfortably drive us through the 2-lane backroads of Provence helping us to discover the magical villages of Provence, the…"

October 2014 Day Tour of the Luberon

""We spent a wonderful day with Emily as our guide touring the “Hill towns of the Luberon”. Our time with Emily was like spending a day with a family friend who gave us a personal tour of her adopted home.

Lavender,Travel Photography & Provencal Lifestyle Tour 2023

"Emily's Lavender and Photography Tour is, as stated, a private, and I would say INTIMATE, experience in Provence.  From the first evening in L'Isle sur la Sorgue everything about the tour is carefully crafted to create a sense that one has become "at home" in Provence.  The accommodations at the converted stone farmhouse are comfortable and well appointed, creating an intimacy that speaks of "part of the family."  In addition to breathtaking venues for photography, each day provided a creative…"

Honeymoon in Provence Tour, April 2015

""Emily set-up an incredible getaway! We chose France for our honeymoon (I’ve been dreaming about Provence for years) and my husband stumbled upon Emily’s website. Wow, we are so happy we found her. After a Skype chat, we knew we made the right decision in going with Your Private Provence. She was flexible, sweet, knowledgeable, and accommodating from the very start. In the beginning, we filled out a form so she could determine what kind of experience we were looking for: museum/history heavy…"

Wine Tour, September 2021

""What a beautiful day with Emily and Your Private Provence wine tour. Having been to the region before, two friends and I were interested in a deeper dive into what made this region so well suited for wine. She really listened to our interests and designed a really fun, insightful and rich day. We honestly expected a driver to just drop us off at several wineries and got so much more. Loved the cultural and geological history, the insights of a local to life in Provence, and a diverse sampling…"
