An incredible tour which starts at a near by, little known medieval village full of history, Napoleon and charm. We follow an ancient road through the mighty Gorges of Olllioules to our next destination, Le Castellet.
Immediately we are surrounded by the famous vineyards of Bandol wine appellation, and, as if we are in a road trip movie, we zig zag through typical bright Provencal country side. We do an obligatory stop to sample some of these great wines, while learning and understanding what makes the grape varieties here so special.
We carry on to Le Castellet and its famous castle where we will visit esoteric shops, winding streets, and have a 360 degree view of vineyards, mountains, and the sea. An incredible location at the heart of the Var district of Provence. This is off-beaten-path of most tours in Provence.
After we had lunch we will carry on to probably the most beautiful and authentic ports in all of Provence, the celebrated Sanary-sur-mer, and I need not say more.

The one on one experience, stories and history with Sarit was invaluable! We loved all 3 villages and the winery in Bandol.

Sarit is a top rated guide - she is very knowledgeable about the region and she is also friendly and considerate. She shared with us stories about the history and traditions of three villages we visited, which made the trip so much more memorable. We also enjoyed the sightseeing, wine tasting and lunch.

This was definitely the best of the excursions that we did during our cruise. It was great to have our personal tour guide! Sarit was knowledgeable and was able to connect all of the stops with their historical significance. She had a good balance of guided time and free time to explore. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone trying to get away from the large tour groups that the cruise lines offer.
