Your guide will pick you up in the morning at Arles Board your private vehicle and take the road towards your first stop: l'Isle sur la Sorgue. This village is a little paradise of greenery and flowing water, as several branches of the Sorgue river are flowing through the town, and used to drive many water wheels which are still turning. In the historical city centre, have a stroll in the winding streets and canals junctions.
Back to your vehicle and head towards Gordes, built on the rocky mountains. You will walk in its narrow streets, and enjoy the shady squares and graceful fountains. Sense the history and activity that have shaped both the architecture and the people. Enter the workshops of the tradesmen and artisans.
Afterwards, your guide will take you to Roussillon and explore the stairs and streets in the old village. See the vaulted passageways, the lovely houses from the 17th and 18th century, the cliff which provides fabulous views, the clock tower and its campanile, the vestiges of the ramparts, partially rebuilt in modern times and the remains of the 10th century castle.
Move towards Bonnieux where you will enjoy the panoramic view. Observe the old 13th century church with its combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles, the ruins of the 12th century towers and ramparts, Hôtel de Rouville, a beautiful 18th century residence and the Philippe tower.
Finally, your last stop is the village of Menerbes where you will have the opportunity to taste Côtes du Luberon wines at the magnificent Maison de la Truffe et du Vin (open from April 1st to October 31st - own expense).
At the end of the tour, your guide will drive you back to Arles.

Djilani was a fun and professional guide that took my husband and I from our hotel in Arles to a few different towns in Provence on an 8 hour tour.
He treated us to a coffee and croissant in the first town and had many stories as well as history to share. He also made a special stop for us that was not on the original schedule.
Very knowledgeable and helpful guide! Car was clean and comfortable. We recommend him to all visiting this region!

We really enjoyed our tour with Djilani. We had actually booked a different tour but when we met him he suggested a different location because the lavender fields were not in bloom & would have been disappointing. He asked us what we wanted to see and he did a wonderful job of showing us beautiful landscapes, and catering to our needs. It was a wonderful experience overall! Thanks for an amazing day Djilani!

We had a fabulous time with Djilani touring several villages in the Luberon area last week. He lives up to the the positive reviews others have posted here! He wants his customers to be happy and starts his tour asking what is most the important area/site we want to see. My daughter really wanted to see lavender fields - Djilani presented some options of where to go and we chose the closer option at the Abbey in Gordes. He took us to L' Isle Sur la Sorgue and treated us to an artisan bakery croissant and some fresh goat cheese. We visited one winery for a tasting where we purchased some items. Then it was off to charming Roussillon with its ochre colored buildings and lunch. We finished our afternoon touring the Chateau de Lourmarin, and villages of Bonnieux and Menerbes, then back to Arles (our starting point). Djilani is fun and very knowledgeable about the area, food, wine, history. We had many engaging conversations, and even some music and singing in his van! We highly recommend this tour and in particular Djilani as a guide. You won't be disappointed!

Djilani was very personable, well educated in answering all our questions and super flexible (as we didn’t know we would fall in love with Marseilles and her country side: we needed a little bit more time in certain places…) : i would recommend him to anyone who is looking to visit this part of the world! Djilani is worth every euro you spend!!!
Ce fut une journée incroyable : nous avons déjà hâte d’y revenir! Merci Djilani!

The Luberon villages are so beautiful! Djalani is great! He asked us what we were looking for and I told him I wanted to see the lavender fields in bloom. He took us to the Senanque Abbey outside of Gordes where the fields were a beautiful purple. He also treated us to a coffee and a croissant at a charming french bakery in Isle Sur Sorgue. We visited two wineries for lovely tastings. He also provided us recommendation for lunch in Roussillon. Djalani is so knowledgeable about the area. He tailors the tour to your requests. He is also a great photographer and took wonderful pictures of us that we will treasure.

I had an incredible day tour with Djalani all over the Luberon village region. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history and the experiences to highlight. He is also a lot of fun and very insightful about life - we had a great time chatting all day! Very reliable and good person - definitely recommend for a tour anywhere in the region. I’ll be using his services again!

We had a great time! Our guide was fantastic, we loved Isle Sur la Sorgue and Roussillon, got an hour or so at each. Also got a great view of Gordes and the monastery near it. Highly recommend! Made us want to come back to Provence!

Djilani was a fabulous addition to our family as he took great attention to our needs, requests and desires for a low key overview of the region. He accommodated our cruise departure times and ensure that we saw the highlights of the region and had some private time together to enjoy it personally.
Would highly recommend this tour operator
