June 2013 Private Custom Tour
“”This summer my wife and I had the pleasure of being introduced to Provence by Emily Durand. It was truly amazing. Emily’s attentiveness and insights to the history and culture made Provence our favorite portion of a four-week eight-country trip. We had the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation taking in the ruggedly beautiful terrain and sampling the best food I have ever had.
Thank you Emily we look forward to our next trip to Southern France with Your Private Provence.”

Private tour
“Emily was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip to France! We spent a week with her as our private chauffeur, and from day one she felt more like a friend than a driver. She was always punctual, professional, and full of energy, but what truly set her apart was her ability to show us hidden gems and local experiences we never would have discovered on our own.
Every day was seamless, fun, and completely stress-free. Her knowledge of the area, great personality, and genuine…”
Provence Spring Tour 2026
“EMILY! A familiar shout out each morning as she arrived to lead us out on excursions throughout the Provence region. Emily Durand set up an itinerary that took us to many culture rich and diverse sites. She chose great lodging facilities in Avignon, Uzes, and a lovely and stunning B&B in Gordes. Every facility was top notched, centrally located, and extremely comfortable. Emily took care of all the details with these facilities and we didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoying our exp…”
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…”
Christmas Cheer Tour 2023
“Christmas Cheer Tour 2023
The Christmas in Provence tour was absolutely wonderful. After traveling with you on the lavender tour several years ago, I knew the trip would be well planned and include delicious food, but I wasn’t sure it could match those days among the beautiful lavender fields. Once the tour began, I quickly realized that the Christmas in Provence tour was going to be fabulous! The trip included such a diverse variety of historical and cultural activities in settings from lar…”
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…”
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…”
April 2019 3-Day Custom Tour
“”I’m so thrilled that I found Emily as she added so much value to our 8 night trip to Provence. We hired Emily to assist with our transfers and added touring to our transfer days… Brilliant Plan! In the end we hired Emily for 3 of our 8 days.
She is extremely honest, reliable and her prices are very fair. She accepts credit cards and does everything possible to ensure your comfort. Emily picked us up at Marseille Airport and transferred us to our AirBNB in St. Remy. She organized a unique an…”
May 2017 Week-long Tour in Provence
“”Emily led me on a week long tour of the Luberon, her home, in Provence. Based upon my interests and ideas and her local knowledge, Emily created the itinerary for our week. Each day was crafted as a logical driving loop to explore a portion of this magical place. Emily’s expertise allowed me to experience what I was seeing as a ‘temporary local’. I would never have gained such an in-depth understanding as a tourist on my own. And I would never have seen as much each day if not for her expert…”
Group Lavender Tour, July 2017
“Thank you for everything, it was an amazing week. The B&B was perfect as well as the whole itinerary. It will definitely be among my most favorite trips of all time.
Leslie Grizzard
Emily is a kind spirit with a gift for bringing people into an authentic Provencal experience. Her planning, organization, and itinerary were perfect and she was flexible when we needed some personal time to wind down or even take a nap and recharge. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her desi…”
