Wedding in Provence, 2018
""I used Emily through Your Private Provence to help me plan my small wedding/elopement and tours for my family while we were in the area.
The experience went so smoothly in the amazing hands of Emily. She offered several options from vendors for the ceremony, restaurant choices, lodging, and tours throughout the Provence region. She thought of details for the wedding and the tours that would not have even crossed my mind! She was always in touch and responded promptly.
She took into consi…"

""It was such a very special holiday for me. I just adored every moment and Emily made it so very special.
Emily, thank you for being so accommodating with my challenging itinerary. Thank for being so knowledgeable and adding a layer of history and local insight that no guidebook could deliver.

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…"
2024 July Lavender Lifestyle Tour
"Emily introduced me to a Provence that went beyond the photo stops along the way. I saw the region in the pride of the farmers who sold their products in the markets, the love of the truffle farmer and the olive oil producer for their land, the care that a top chef takes to make each entree perfect for the diner, the joy of the innkeeper to assure that every guest felt like family. But most of all, I experienced Provence through Emily’s eyes - a woman who still marvels and delights by how fortu…"
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…"
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…"
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…"

July Lavender Tour 2021
""A traveler is always faced with this secret dilemma…..once you have experienced the perfect tour, in the perfect place, arranged by the perfect host, do you tell the world or do you try and keep it a secret just a while longer?
Such is my dilemma having just returned from that 'perfect' week in Provence. I have decided to be magnanimous and share. After all, the world needs as much 'perfect' as it can find right now.
Emily’s Private Provence could just as easily be named Emily’s Perfec…"
