“I consider myself to be an independent traveller, but once I started planning my trip to Provence it became clear that I would need to rent a car or hire a guide. 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….” –Kecia Welt

June 2014 Day Tour in Provence

""Thank you Emily! I have to say this was one of the highlights of our stay in Provence. I will always remember that day and it was made possible because of your connections. Otherwise we would not have experienced that glorious day. It was such a “provencal” thing to do!!" Doris and Vanessa Cotric, Montreal "

June 2018 3-day custom tour

""We had a great trip with Emily and highly recommend her. Before we arrived, she had designed a lovely tour of Provence villages just for us. Attentive to our interests and needs, she crafted an adventure that was a highlight of a trip to France and Italy. In several days, she introduced us to the history of these hill towns, the beauty of the rural landscape, and the feel of markets, twisty streets, churches, and Van Gogh’s world. Though we saw a good deal, she also made time for little mat…"

May 2018 3-day private tour

""Dear Emily, The moment you returned my inquiry, your response was swift, professional and warm, a cut above and refreshingly reliable! You provided us with a jeweled itinerary, nuggets of different rich landscapes, the unknown history which made the 'to do' landmarks interesting and fun. The hiking to discover the history, the flora, was an absolute highlight, cycling along the canal, your organizing of epicurean dinners. Not to mention the accommodation you recommended, an insight into…"

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…"

Family Reunion Lavender Tour, June 2017

""I spent time on Google and found Emily’s Lavender Tours. Not wanting to drive this time around, Emily seemed to be the perfect solution. I wanted to spend some time in Sault, the lavender capital of Provence, as well as showing my family all Provence has to offer since most had never been there: Roman ruins, beautiful hill towns and incredible scenery, markets and lovely villages, castles and flowing rivers. Once our dates worked out with Emily and she got to know my preferences, we spent lots…"

September 2017 Day Wine Tour

""From the moment we met, Emily made us feel at home in Provence! Her careful selection of wine tastings and restaurants were exactly what we were looking for. Thank you, Emily, for making our 10-year anniversary trip exactly what we wanted it to be." Michael & Lauren, San Diego, CA"

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." Larry and Kathy Huhn, Oregon"

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…"

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…"
