Itinerary Planning
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…"
Truffle, Cuisine & Wine tour – 2024
"Truffle, Cuisine & Wine Tour - 2024
Yes, this is a food-focused week, which means excellent chevre, olive oil, truffles and plenty of good wine. But it's so much more. We checked out beautiful vistas, accompanied a farmer as he and his dog dug up some of the season's last truffles, visited a farmer's market, baked and cooked at the direction of talented chefs, and learned about Cezanne's testy relationship with his hometown of Aix. In between, we got to know Emily, who's knowledgeable ab…"
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…"
June 2018 3-day private tour
""The beautiful, relaxed culture of Provence makes it an ideal vacation spot for first-time guests and return visitors alike.
As a return visitor, I reached out to Emily to see some of the hidden treasures I was on unable to see during my first visit. She asked me what I enjoyed, what I wanted to see most, and how I’d like to spend my time. From there, she tailored an itinerary specific to me.
She was able to encompass all I requested and made excellent suggestions! I had an incredible tim…"
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…"
September 2016 Day Tour in the Luberon
""For my first time in Provence I decided to hire a guide. It’s not something I normally do but I didn’t want to be bothered with driving and trying to find my way on my own. I didn’t want to waste precious time because I had so little there.
We had several conversations via email in advance of my visit about what my interests are and what I wanted to get out of my time with her. Emily showed me some wonderful places for photos and a little off the beaten path Abbey that was a lovely way to e…"
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…"

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."

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…"
