Les Baux is fantastic and our guide was great.

4 star rating: Recommended Reviewed by JIM B, October 2012

The tour was really good. The history of Van Gough and where he received his inspiration was really interesting. The olive tour was kind of short and tastings where two very small teaspoons. It was interesting and olive oil was really good, but I do not know if it was worh the side trip. The tour of village was really interesting and the unannounced car show was really interesting. Overall a pretty good tour.
