    Don’t miss this tour!

    I’m a history buff and Jerome fulfilled my curiosity. One of the best guides I’ve encountered, he gave well-rounded and well-explained highlights of Avignon making you want to return for more history. He is also passionate and prideful about the city, the peoples, the culture and the arts. I truly recommend a tour with Jerome. He made my trip!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We are delighted to hear that Jérôme made your visit to Avignon so memorable and was able to satisfy your curiosity for history. It is wonderful to know that his passion for the city, its people, culture, and arts came through so clearly during your tour. We will be sure to share your kind words with Ghislain (et non Jérome !!!). Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to France for more discoveries! We would be delighted to welcome you back to discover other treasures: Burgundy, the Loire Valley châteaux, Champagne, the French Riviera, Paris, Normandy, and Bordeaux. Best regards, A LA FRANCAISE

    Highly Recommend

    I had the pleasure of taking a full day tour with Emilie. The morning was a trip to two wineries in Chateauneuf du Pape with a few stops along the way. The afternoon we went to several Luberon villages and had a chance to walk a few towns and also made some stops along the way. Emilie was very knowledgeable about the region and its history. She provided wonderful guidance for each town so we could make the most of our time and she gave us the highlights of each village. She has a very cheerful disposition even when asked the same question a few times. She was a wonderful expert and I highly recommend this tour to others.

    Response from the operator: Bonjour Rachael, your review just made our day! We're so happy you enjoyed your tour and our guide Emilie. Guests like you are the reason we love what we do. We look forward to seeing you again soon. We're waiting for you for another adventure in Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Loire, Champagne, Paris and Normandy. Team A La Française.

    Great day in Châteauneuf de Papa et Luberon

    Great visit to Chateauneuf de Papa! We visited two wineries and learned about the region and winemaking. Our tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable. Great tour! Had a chance to see the perched villages of Luberon.

    Response from the operator: Bonjour, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you had such a great visit and enjoyed both the wineries and the discovery of the beautiful Luberon villages. It’s fantastic to hear that your guide made the tour even more memorable with their knowledge. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon! Best Regards, A la Française

    We really enjoyed the...

    We really enjoyed the tour with our guide, Oliver. He had some great insights about the region and suggestions on where to go during our explore alone time. Definitely had some great wine. We would have loved a full-day tour or just wineries that let us sample even more.

    Response from the operator: Bonjour, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Oliver, his insights and recommendations really help make the experience more personal and enriching. It’s great to know you appreciated the wines as well! We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a full-day wine adventure next time! Best Regards, A la Française

    Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.

    How much does Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.

    Is Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 192 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon?

    +

    Around 67 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Avignon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Avignon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Avignon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon?

    +

    Included: Driver/guide; Two Wine-tastings in Chateauneuf du Pape; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; and Hotel pick up / drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon?

    +

    Meet your guide outside the Tourist Office of Avignon. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon?

    +

    Is Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Highlights of Provence : Chateauneuf du Pape & Luberon if the weather is bad?

    +
