5 Reviews by TourRadar travelers“The dinner at Mikal Favel was outstanding as was the e-bike Tour in the steps of Cezanne.”
Kathleen, traveled in September
Small groups (max 8) unite in Luberon villages. Wine tastings in Côtes-de-Provence, medieval Gordes and Roussillon activities, and communal dinner in Aix-en-Provence create lasting connections.

What our customers ask about Provence Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Provence?
Late spring and early fall are prime times for solo travel in Provence. The weather is mild and tourist crowds are thinner during May June and September. These months draw the highest number of independent travelers about 25-30% of tour groups. June brings blooming lavender fields near Avignon and Gordes perfect for photographers and meeting fellow travelers. Wine harvests and local festivals in September create natural opportunities to connect with others making it a favorite among solo visitors according to TourRadar data.
Which areas of Provence are most solo traveler-friendly?
The historic center of Avignon with its Palais des Papes and the artistic town of Arles draw many independent travelers. The Luberon area stands out for its welcoming atmosphere particularly in towns like Bonnieux and Gordes. Small hotels such as the Hotel du Poete in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse offer intimate settings for solo guests. A TourRadar traveler noted: "As a solo traveler I felt completely at ease exploring the markets of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and the cafes of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence - the locals were incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere was very safe."
How many solo travelers are typically on a Provence guided tour?
Provence tours usually include 4-6 solo travelers within groups of 12-16 people. This balanced mix shows up on river cruises like the MS Camargue II and walking tours through the Luberon. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Having 5 other solo travelers in our group of 14 made it easy to find companions for optional activities and dining - we never felt outnumbered by couples."
What type of group activities can solo travelers expect on Provence tours?
Group activities range from truffle hunting to wine tastings at family vineyards in Côtes-du-Rhône and cooking classes in local farmhouses. Tours often include visits to the Palais des Papes in Avignon and boat excursions in Cassis. According to a TourRadar review "The guided activities were excellent especially the cooking class and wine tours which made it easy to connect with other travelers."
Do Provence tours offer shared room options for solo travelers to save money?
Many tour operators provide room-sharing options to reduce costs for solo travelers. River cruise companies like CroisiEurope and Uniworld run cabin-sharing programs on Rhône River cruises. The MS Camargue II sets aside specific cabins for solo traveler sharing. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "I opted to share a room on my Provence tour and was paired with another solo female traveler - we ended up becoming great friends and even planning future trips together."
What safety measures are in place for solo travelers in Provence?
Tour companies provide round-the-clock local support experienced guides and centrally located hotels like the Hotel Regina in Avignon. All transportation between locations is arranged and guides oversee safety during activities. One TourRadar traveler noted "The shuttle drivers were very professional and prompt. The vehicles were clean and we felt very safe."
