We are a group of 4, booked with Bonjour Provence Tour for a 9 hours excursion from cruise port in Toulon, France. It is easy to book online and final payment is only due on the day of the trip. Our plan was to visit lavender and sunflower fields in Valensole and UNESCO city Aix-en-Provence in early July. We are very grateful to book our trip with Bonjour Provence Tour Company. It was a Sunday trip and there are not a lot of company will go to Toulon to do the excursion. Most of the company are based in Aix-en-Provence, Marceille or Nice. Silvio is very accommodating and tried his best to fit into our plan. He answered every questions and replied with all the advices that are really helpful in our planning. Before our excursion, he even sent us an email notifying us that the harvest was early. We really appreciate his advance notification that we will not get disappointed when we arrived at the field. He offered that we can change our plan to visit somewhere else. But we chose to stick with our plans.
Our driver Marlon came before our meeting time 8:30 a.m., very punctual and was standing outside the gate with a sign in his hand already. The minivan was very spacious for 4 of us and he helped me a lot when I was getting off the van. He is very kind. Thanks. Marlon is very good in history and gave us a lot of info during the trip about the lavender, sunflower, history of Aix-en-Provence. He took us to a lavender field that they have lavender ice-cream. O my, this is the best lavender ice-cream that we ever had. Thanks Marlon. In Aix-en-Provence, he toured and walked with us, brought us to a local bakery and we had the best croissant, apricot tart, apple tart and baguette sandwich in the Aix-en-Provence. He acted as our translator and helped us a lot during the visit. Thanks Marlon. After our visit to Aix-en-Provence, Marlon drove us to Marceille and gave us a city tour in the car. He dropped us to Notre Dame de la Garde. The church is so beautiful and the panoramic view from the church is stunning. Now we know that next time for sure we have to go back to Marceille and for sure with Bonjour Provence Tour. No second thoughts. We had a wonderful time with him and BP tour. He are able to arrive back to the cruise port on time. Please let me extend our appreciation on behalf of our group to BP Tour that may we wish you every success and prosperity with your business.
