Jacques was a perfect guide, knowledgeable and kind, and let us linger for longer than the tour should have lasted and showed us special places upon request that we were interested in seeing. 10/10 wonderful day discovering Provence through the eyes of Van Gogh.

Had like slight miscommunication with tour agency but was al good and sorted. We were lucky to have our own private tour with Jacq. Weather also wasn't great. Guides english isn't greatest, but good enough to have conversation and make it interesting. Has pleasant manner and knowledgable about region and sights in area. Started with Van Goh tour visiting sights of note in Arles, but highlight was definitely Carrieres des Lumieres worth it just by itself, all other hack tours didn't have this incorporated so super glad with this decision. Ended tour at small village Les Baux with picturesque views of valley and some interesting little shops, we didn't spend long here but use it for some photo ops. Then drop off back at hotel, he even offered to drop us off at papel palace super nice guy.
