Experience Provence Your Way with a Private Chauffeur from Aix-en-Provence
Imagine exploring the scenic beauty and charming villages of Provence at your own pace, all while enjoying the comfort of a private, luxury vehicle. This about 6-hour tour offers a flexible itinerary tailored to your interests, whether you want to see historic sites, natural attractions, or simply soak in the countryside. For $798.20 per group (up to 7 people), you get a personalized experience with all logistics handled for you — from pickup to drop-off.
What we really like about this tour is the flexibility in planning, allowing you to send your preferences ahead of time and have a driver craft the perfect route. Also, the end-to-end private transportation means no rushing or waiting, just comfortable travel between your chosen spots. The luxury sedan and attentive service elevate the experience, making it feel more like a VIP day out than a typical tour.
On the flip side, one consideration is that this is a full-day custom experience—so if you’re budget-conscious or prefer a pre-packaged itinerary, it might seem a bit pricier. Also, note that food and drinks aren’t included, so you’ll want to budget for meals or snacks separately.
