“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
