Small group tours run throughout the year, highlighting seasonal elements. All tours are maxed at 8 participants, aimed at giving you flexibility, authentic lodging locations, and the opportunity to feel less like a tourist and more like a local.

“My wife and I would have to rate Emily as one of the most cordial and flexible tour guides we have ever toured with. Emily made sure that our small group (3 couples) had not only toured the top sites on our itinerary but that we also had plenty of time to enjoy spontaneous moments which were many and varied…” –John Evans

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.

In between, we got to know Emily, who's knowledgeable ab…"

Despite all these concerns we bite the bullet and decided to go for it. We booked a package with My Private Provence. Much to our surprise and delig…"
