Christopher Curtis & Laurent Nurisso

The best way to discover Provence isn't by seeing more. It's by feeling more connected to the place you're visiting.

We are Christopher and Laurent, registered private guides based in Marseille and passionate ambassadors for Provence.
For more than eight years, we've been creating bespoke private tours throughout the region, building on over twenty-five years of exploring its villages, vineyards, coastline, and hidden corners. Our intimate knowledge of Provence allows us to share not only its celebrated highlights but also the authentic places and experiences that most visitors never discover.
Christopher is originally from England, while Laurent is French. Together, we combine local expertise with an international outlook. Having spent much of our adult lives in London, we've travelled extensively across more than twenty-five countries, developing a deep appreciation for different cultures and the joy of meaningful travel.
We believe the most memorable journeys are built on genuine connections. That's why every OohProvence experience is thoughtfully curated at an unhurried pace, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty, culture, gastronomy, and traditions of Provence. More than simply guiding you from one place to another, we want you to feel as though you're exploring the region with old friends who happen to know all the best places.
Our greatest reward is sharing the Provence we love and creating moments that will stay with you long after your journey has ended.
And yes, you'll occasionally meet Olive Oyl, our friendly eight-year-old Weimaraner, who loves exploring Provence just as much as we do.
