My name is Christopher, I'm a registered tour guide living in Marseille. I've been working as a guide in Provence for the last nine years - visiting the region for well over twenty-five, so I know a lot about what's best to see and visit as well as the region's highlights & lesser known hidden secrets of this beautiful region. Originally from London and as well as my individual work as a tour guide with ToursByLocals, I'm also a partner in a small niche private tour business based in Provence which I run with my French husband. I work all year round as a tour guide, enjoying showing & sharing with my guests my knowledge of the South of France. This is after all the region of France that epitomises the Mediterranean dream destination! My tours aim to inspire and visitors who want to discover & connect with the local people, culture & traditions of Provence. I like my guests to feel they are meeting up with old friends to explore my corner of France. All my tours are at a leisurely pace with lots of laughs and fun along the way. Having lived most of my adult life in London and been fortunate to be able to travel to over twenty six countries during that time. I enjoy travelling and especially meeting people from different corners of the world, being able to show them the visible and less obvious secret gems of this incredibly beautiful region of France. My passion for travel and meeting new people brought me back to live in France in 2013. I decided to become a tour guide to share with visitors my passion for Provence. In 2022 I became a French citizen. As your personal guide, I will always make sure each tour adapts to the style and expectation of my guests. I want you to enjoy a unique experience of the very best of Provence. There is so much to see and do - the regions culture, history, landscape, gastronomic food & fine wine; warm all year round climate & sunshine, colourful dramatic landscapes, ancient history and ancestral traditions as well as the authenticity of the people who live here in the towns, countryside and hilltop villages. Above all else it will be unhurried and at a gentle pace, unless you have to get back to the ship and then the day is adapted accordingly. What I specialise in is creating inspirational private tours & custom-made tour itineraries. My guests typically will be looking for small individual experiences or meaningful time with their partner & family or the chance to reconnect. Most of my set itineraries are priced for two people, but they are also available for 3-4 people and although the tours are priced per couple - if you are three people travelling, even four, it's easy to divide and multiply to adjust the cost of each tour accordingly. If you are more that two, I will send a revised customized quotation so that you can book your tour. If you reserve a tour with me - I guarantee we'll have a great fun day out, relaxed, unhurried, friendly, convivial and free from stress - you're on a vacation after all. If you would like more information on any tour or a quotation for something a little bit different please send me a message. All messages are responded to same working day. Hope to welcome you to Provence soon. Christopher I'm a registered Tour Guide and also a professional photographer, I can guide in historic sites, museums, galleries and so forth with no restrictions. I have all the relevant driving licenses to transport people and provide a full insurance coverage including public liability for all my guests.

On this tour you will visit three exceptional wine makers with a unique history and heritage in winemaking - Château de Beaupré, six generations of wine making heritage that began in 1855, Château Bonisson, a destination and source of inspiration & creativity and Château La Verrerie which sits between the lower Rhône valley and Provence. The estate covers 48 hectares and produces around 250,000 bottles each year. This is an experience of discovery. Provence is the world's largest producer of Rose wine, many of which are regarded as some of the best in the world. Nowadays they also produce some excellent reds and whites - this experience will take you on a journey of discovery against a backdrop of the beauty of the Provence countryside.
We leave by car first to Château La Verrerie to explore the vineyard and a visit the cave with wine tasting. Although renowned for their rosé wines, they also produce some very interesting red & white wines. Afterwards a lunch break in the nearby village of Lauris. Early afternoon a short drive to Château de Beaupré, owned by a family with a history of six generations of winemaking in Provence. Finally a visit to Château Bonisson famed for its excellent wines and collection of contemporary art. The wine making process here is state of the art. The morning is spent at one vineyard and in the afternoon we visit two. From here return to your hotel or villa.
