Fun day! Eric was super nice, spoke excellent English & was well prepared; even provided warm jackets & ponchos when it rained unexpectedly. The motorcycle w sidecar was a thrill, turning heads & getting big smiles everywhere we went. Scenery was great; winding roads up to magnificent views, through forests, vineyards, villages and along the coast. The port of Cassis & the medieval village of Castellet are charming. Overall a great adventure.

If you are considering this, definitely do it! Great way to see the countryside up close — lavender fields, olive groves, farms, views of Mount St. Victoire. Our guide and driver, Kevin, was charming (and a careful driver). The tour included a a boutique vineyard with a lovely new gallery and very informative, in-depth tasting. Depending on the weather, bring a jacket as it can be chilly. FYI, we were expecting two bikes with sidecars (for two of us) but there was only one bike. We swapped off from the back of the motorcycle to the sidecar halfway through. C’était super, and the highlight of our visit!
