“The trip touted at 9 hours took us just over 11 hours. Over 8 of those hours were in a car driven by what I can only describe as a young man possessed by speed. Just because you can drive faster than everyone else does not make you a good driver. We all held on for dear life as we thrashed in to the doors and each other. We stopped three times for 5 minutes to take a few quick pics. We stopped in a small town for lunch for an hour and ten minutes to eat with no time to explore. We stopped in the gorge for an hour…”

He knows the area like the back of his hand and he provided a most unique and beautiful tour. He packed a delicious picnic lunch for our boat ride complete with rosé and a fresh baguette. When we approach the lavender fields, he made a beautiful bouquet for our daughter as he explained the healing and medicinal properties of the lavender. He has the most delightful disposition, he is full of joy, a man of character, and a true leader in hospitality. He provides a memorable experience that one cannot easily…”
