May 2018 7-day custom tour
“”What wonderful memories were made with four high school friends in Provence, thanks to our guide extraordinaire, Emily!
She planned and executed every detail, taking into consideration our personal requests, with flexibility that is impossible with
a large tour group. Our last night, while we were touring the Calanques in Cassis, Emily even prepared an alfresco poolside dinner for us. Many thanks and high recommendations to Emily, OUR Private Provence!
Emily, you allowed us to have e…”
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. If you want an intimate and memorable time in Provence, we recommend Emily and Your Private Provence.”

2019 Lavender Tour
“”2019 Lavender Tour This tour exceeded all of my expectations! The small group size made it easy for us to get to know each other and each day was such a treat! Emily shared not only her love and knowledge of her adopted country but afforded us a glimpse into life in Provence. She introduced us to local chefs, farmers, and artisans and each was colorful and engaging and passionate about their chosen profession and excited to share with us. We visited beautiful villages and ate marvelous local f…”
May private tour 2016
“”When I look back I do not necessarily think of the specific towns we visited as much as the special experiences and moments we had during truffle hunting, making chocolates, taking pictures in the middle of that beautiful flower field, and our hikes, walks and conversations. Thank you for arranging all this for us because they are certainly the experiences that made our trip so special.
Most importantly, what I cherish is that you never made us feel like we are with a private tour guide. Yo…”
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…”
May 2023 – Poppy Madness Small Group Tour
“I can’t say enough about our fabulous friend’s trip with Emily for 8 nights in Provence. Visiting the 3 regions was especially interesting to see their differences – from Mount Ventoux to the Luberon area and finally Les Apilles! Each was picturesque in their own way. The unique experiences Emily created for us were amazing from garden tours, cooking class, painting workshop, face cream making, galleries, private chef and walking tours. Her driving was so good from pick up at Avignon TGV to dro…”
July 2022 Provence Lavender Tour
“”Experiencing the lavender fields of Provence was just part of a fabulous week with Emily. From truffle hunting, olive oil tasting, wine tasting, visiting hilltop villages, to lovely breakfasts at an idyllic B&B, casual picnic lunches, and first class dining, Emily provided us with an off the beaten path adventure of a lifetime. Her knowledge of the history of the area made for an educational as well as rewarding and fun trip. She was well organized and such a delight to travel with in her…”
June 2014 Private Provence Tour
“”Thank you for making our recent visit to Provence a delight. Your attentive and engaging personality made it so enjoyable, and you were incredibly gracious. The Melon and Truffle Experience day was a favorite; your culinary talents exceeded any expectation we had. Thank you for the special melon macarons, too. What a treat!
We were impressed with the history and anecdotes you shared with us at every place we visited; you made these places we’d only read about much more real, and alive. And…”
April Artist Tour 2022
“”Emily worked with me to create a personalized one-week itinerary that went beyond our expectations. She handled all aspects of our trip with a professional , low-key manner. The hotels were outstanding and dining was authentic. The luxury vehicle was very comfortable to travel in as well. Knowing we were a group of artist, she allowed time to see artistic points of interest. We plan on returning and will work with Emily again.”

May Day Tours & Biking the Luberon
“We booked Emily for a day trip to Avignon & the Pont du Gard. She was wonderful. She picked us up & dropped us off at our accommodation near Gordes. She accommodated all our requests to the point that the tour was extended at no cost. We had a lovely day visiting the main sites in Avignon and a lovely walk around the Pont du Gard. Her restaurant recommendations were terrific for both the day we spent with her and then her great recommendations for other restaurants in other towns we wer…”
