In the afternoon, we will head to the Stone Village - Gordes, which is impressive in the work A Year in Provence.

Visiting these sites after admiring the work mentioned above, you will amaze with the vividness and verisimilitude of his work.

Reviews
Guide Guo is a professional tour guide with enthusiastic service, a strong sense of responsibility, and a humorous personality.
Overall, the itinerary planning was quite good. The driver and tour guide were both attentive and responsible. I particularly enjoyed the one-hour City Walk in Barcelona – it was excellent! If there are areas for improvement, one is that the hotel location could be closer to the city or tourist attractions. Another is that the time spent on the bus was quite long, which felt somewhat wasted; adding historical and cultural commentary on the cities and towns along the way might have compensated for that. The tour guide's attitude and service deserve praise. My husband forgot his iPhone earphones at the Avignon hotel, and the tour guide offered to retrieve them when he led a tour to Avignon next week and mail them to his brother's home in Burgundy, France. Thank you in advance for taking the time and effort to handle the mailing!
The itinerary was very well-planned, efficient, compact yet not rushed, covering areas that independent travelers without a car couldn't reach in a short time. Although it covered hundreds of kilometers in a single day, the scenery was beautiful along the way, and the 25-seat minibus offered a fantastic riding experience (though this might not be the case if you're very tall or strong), without feeling tiring. The small group of 25 people had a high average level of quality and harmonious relationships. Furthermore, the absence of group meals saved costs and avoided potential conflicts arising from differing tastes, which I personally appreciated. The tour guide was fluent in French, spoke with a down-to-earth touch, and provided excellent guidance. I hope Ctrip will develop more routes like this in the future.
Director Chen is knowledgeable, provides excellent service, and made very reasonable arrangements for the trip. He's also witty and humorous. I will definitely choose this product again in the future. Excellent. The driver's driving skills are superb.
Our tour guide and driver, Mr. Ren, was fantastic! I've never met such a responsible person! He was incredibly kind, honest, and dedicated! He was very enthusiastic and provided excellent explanations. Thank you for your hard work! A truly satisfying trip!
The itinerary was fantastic, well-planned, and the scenery was beautiful. It was excellent value for money. The tour guide was very thoughtful and helpful.
This trip was definitely an improvement over my expectations! I initially signed up because it was a great deal, but the whole experience was incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The hotel arrangements were also great. I must commend our tour guide, Ji, for her exceptional itinerary management! The entire trip was meticulously planned, and she even recommended some great restaurants. Her efficiency and professional expertise are truly commendable! The Citywalk in Barcelona was also excellent; we didn't waste any time and saw all the highlights. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience! I would definitely book other tours next time!
