Bienvenue en Provence ! My name is Olivier and I am based in La Ciotat, a charming beach resort close to the fishermen village of Cassis, nearby Marseille, Toulon and Aix en Provence. I started my adventure in the tourism industry as a freelance, conducting guided sightseeing tours in Provence and winery tours in the area. To date I have been guiding since 2015, providing a high standard of service and a unique experience to all my customers. I am an enthusiastic person and I love Provence, where I have lived for many years. As I provide visits of Cassis, Marseille, and Aix en Provence, I always take time to do stop to scenic viewpoints for dramatic views and interesting historical facts. Natural park of Luberon and surroundings of Avignon and Rhône valley are some of my favorite areas in northern Provence where I like to share good times there. Feedback and reviews of my customers describe me as a humorous, flexible and courteous person as well as a safe driver! I am trilingual native French and fluent English and Italian. All my tours can be customized to meet your needs, so feel free to message me if you have any special request. - Professional driver license, according to the French regulation for people transportation for touristic purposes - Permanent free access to ship piers of the Marseille Cruise Port Enclosure - First-aid certificate PSC1 delivered by firefighters of Marseille district (2015) - Degrees in science (University of Paris) - I am not able to guide you inside of the museums or historical monuments. - I can only guide in English, Italian and French.

But I agree they were definitely not so nice as they should be... (grey colored flowers) Unfortunately global heating makes unpredictable any lavender tour nowaday ! I am happy you enjoyed a lot...
Oliver was wonderful on our recent tour. He was prompt professional on time and was very accommodating with our most recent tour. He even recommended a wonderful wet restaurant and even allowed us to detour from our original itinerary to purchase some wine at a local winery.
