Day Trips from Aix-en-Provence: Private Tours with Driver
Aix-en-Provence is an ideal base for day trips in Provence: Mont Sainte-Victoire is twenty minutes away, Lourmarin and Cassis less than an hour, and the Valensole lavender fields about an hour. TSE Tourisme & Transport takes you there with a private driver, in a Mercedes Sprinter minibus for 8 to 19 passengers, a van or a sedan: pick-up at your hotel, an itinerary at your own pace, and a fixed all-inclusive price.
Our vehicles for your day trips from Aix-en-Provence
A couple, a family, a group of friends or a whole conference group: the vehicle is chosen to fit the number of people.
For a group of 8 to 19 people, we come with our Mercedes Sprinter minibus. For up to 7 people, our Mercedes V-Class van; for up to 3, a Mercedes E-Class sedan. Your driver picks you up at your hotel, your rental or the station, and brings you back at the end of the day.
Your vehicle: our Mercedes Sprinter minibus, 8 to 19 seats
Your vehicle will be a Mercedes Sprinter fitted out for groups: 8 to 19 seats depending on the layout, reclining seats and air conditioning for a comfortable ride.
Bags, picnic baskets and purchases from the markets all fit in the luggage compartment.
From a half-day near the city to a full day touring Provence, the comfort stays the same.
Half-day trips from Aix-en-Provence
Only have a morning or an afternoon? Three trips fit into four to five hours from Aix: the Mont Sainte-Victoire tour in Cézanne’s footsteps, Cassis and its calanques, and, from mid-June to mid-July, the lavender fields of the Valensole plateau. It also works well for a conference group with a free half-day.
Full-day trips from Aix-en-Provence
With a full day, about nine hours, you can go further: the hilltop villages of the Luberon, Les Baux-de-Provence and Saint-Rémy in the Alpilles, the Verdon Gorge and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, or the Camargue and Arles. Your driver drops you as close as possible to each site and waits during your visits.
