Character of this travel idea

Your personalised Provence tour takes you to the region’s most important towns and sights over 12 days. In the natural parks and villages of Provence, you will feel the unique lifestyle of the south of France particularly intensely. With stops in Nice and Toulon, our route then takes you to the Côte d’Azur, a hotspot for the international jet set, with its glamorous coastal resorts and azure blue sea.

Experience culture

Aix-en-Provence, the city of art and culture, impresses with its magnificent baroque buildings and the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur. Stroll through the elegant streets and discover the works of Paul Cézanne, who was born here.

With its Roman ruins and impressive amphitheatre, Arles was an inspiration for Vincent van Gogh. The Fondation Vincent van Gogh is dedicated entirely to the life and work of the artist, who created some of his most famous paintings here. The city also has many other museums dedicated to art.

The Camargue, known for its wild horses and flamingos, which is also home to the impressive Château d’Avignon and the Musée de la Camargue, awaits you in the south. Here you can embark on a journey through the history and culture of the region, which is lavishly documented in the museum.

Experience nature in the Provence

The nature of southern France is a true paradise and impresses with its breathtaking diversity. Discover the typical red ochre cliffs and picturesque villages in the Luberon Nature Park, which are among the most beautiful in Provence, ideally on a hike or bike tour. Manosque and its surroundings will welcome you with fragrant fields of lavender and olive groves, the sight of which will captivate you with the magic of Provence.

Birdwatchers should take a particularly good look around the wetlands and salt lakes of the Camargue. Many exotic species can be found in this nature reserve. The Calanques, located between Marseille and Cassis, offer impressive rock formations, crystal-clear water and hidden bays – ideal for hiking, swimming and kayaking.

Culinary treasures of the Provence

Provence offers an incomparable culinary diversity that will make your round trip a real treat. In Aix-en-Provence, you can enjoy the traditional calissons, a delicious almond confectionery that has been prized since the 15th century. Arles delights with its rustic cuisine, where dishes such as Gardianne de Taureau, a hearty beef stew, are on the menu.

In the region around the Calanques, between Marseille and Cassis, fish lovers get their money’s worth. Here you can try the famous bouillabaisse, a rich fish soup made with fresh seafood. In the Camargue, you can expect a unique blend of Mediterranean and Provençal flavours, with black rice and local seafood being particular highlights. Cheese and truffle lovers will find what they are looking for at the small markets in the Luberon Nature Park.

The authentic Provence

A wine tasting in the vineyards around Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon Nature Park offers you the opportunity to savour the region’s exquisite rosé and red wines. A real firework display for your taste buds!

The lavender fields of Provence are a pure delight for the eyes and nose. The flowering season begins in mid-June and lasts well into August. Visit one of the region’s lavender harvest festivals and learn more about the production of lavender products.

You can't plan a trip better than Geotoura did for us. Starting with the extremely friendly correspondence and support from the customer service team, to putting together the route according to our wishes and the personalised travel guide, right through to the choice of hotels. It was an absolute dream holiday in Portugal with memories that will last forever! We had no administrative hassle, everything went smoothly - we will definitely book with Geotoura again and again!

I would like to thank Geotoura for the fantastic tour of the Peloponnese. I felt well looked after from start to finish, all my individual requests for the route were addressed and the tips on the route were great. The accompanying material - the personalised travel guide - was great. And everything worked out perfectly on site. The accommodation ranged from great to fantastic and the people there were super friendly and welcoming. The mix of sea and culture was just right. I'd be happy to go again and again, I'm already looking forward to my next trip with Geotoura.

Geotoura organised a great trip to northern Spain for us, tailored to our individual needs: the route, hotels, flights and the booklet with information and tips put together especially for our trip were simply perfect.

‘Handing over’ the organisation of our trip to Scotland to Geotoura was the best decision! Everything worked out perfectly, the choice of hotels was superb and the tour (from Glasgow up the west coast to Thurso in the north and then back down the east coast to Edinburgh) was perfect. The visit to the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh was the highlight and the crowning glory of our trip. Even the weather played along and it only rained on two days in total during our three-week trip. Thanks to the organisers - it was perfect.

If you have a flair for Arabic, Oriental and African customs and traditions, Andalusia is the right place for you. It's amazing what the Andalusians have done with all these influences. From snow-capped mountains to the sea in 2 hours by car. From fertile regions to absolute drought in less than 2 hours by car. Geographically as interesting as it is culinary.

We were very satisfied with Geotoura. Good service, great start to the holiday. Travelling to adventurous countries like Albania requires exactly that.

We organised our holiday trip with Geotoura for the first time. The travel plan to Madeira with hotels and company car was perfectly organised by Geotoura in advance. Our wishes were fully accepted and implemented. We were travelling as 2 adults with 3 children and were satisfied throughout. We will organise our next major holiday with Geotoura again.

The trip to Northern Spain with Geotoura was very successful overall. Beautiful hotels, great cities, some of which could be described as as yet undiscovered gems, travel planning that worked one hundred per cent and saved us a lot of our own time. We have already recommended Geotoura to others and would book here again at any time. Thank you very much for the wonderful moments!

We are completely satisfied with Geotoura - this is already our third trip with this provider. Everything is perfect: competent and friendly telephone advice, patient attention to our special requests, careful hotel selection, perfect travel documents, everything delivered on time, and the Portugal trip itself fully met our expectations. Well done!
