Will I be able to keep up?
This is a physically demanding walking tour. Travelers should be able to walk comfortably over hilly or uneven terrain for two hours at a time. Travelers should be prepared for some steep inclines and difficult hikes. Hiking boots are a must. If you don’t have them, sturdy, comfortable athletic shoes are highly recommended. Backpacks and walking sticks are also recommended.
What happens if it rains?
The day-by-day itinerary is an outline of daily activities. This kind of program requires maximum flexibility. If you’re unlucky enough to experience inclement weather, we will arrange more activities in town and fewer in the countryside.
Who is my guide?
Walking tour directors have been trained on how to lead a program of this kind. They not only have a comprehensive knowledge of the region, but also a genuine enthusiasm for Provence. All tour directors are bilingual.
