An incredibly memorable day spent with Gordana
An incredibly memorable day spent with Gordana and we had the best time! It rained heavily all day but that didn’t stop us! We visited Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Gordes and Roussillon. 3 beautiful and picturesque provincial villages. Gordana is a wonderful and informative guide! Would love to do another tour with her again one day. Thank you so much Gordana such a lovely day 🥰

A Wonderful Day in the Luberon Region with Gordana
We had a wonderful day-from beginning to end-with Gordana. She was a very kind, friendly and animated guide, possessing "une vraie joie de vivre"! Her knowledge of the region was exceptional and we learned a lot of very interesting facts about the Luberon region, as well as Avignon. Gordana's tour allowed us to visit some of the sites that we wanted to see during our stay in Provence, but could not access easily on our own using public transportation. We would highly recommend this, or any of Gordana's other tours. Merci, Gordana! Your Canadian friends, Peggy & Chris

Luberon and its perched villages: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does Luberon and its perched villages cost?
+
Prices start at $103 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 Luberon and its perched villages take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Luberon and its perched villages worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 66 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 Luberon and its perched villages?
+
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 Luberon and its perched villages suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luberon and its perched villages?
+
Around 23 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luberon and its perched villages 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 Luberon and its perched villages?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Luberon and its perched villages?
+
in front of the tourist office Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Luberon and its perched villages offered in?
+

+

Is Luberon and its perched villages wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
