Top Avignon Day Trips - page 3

This is a full-day experience that gives a wonderful overview of Provence. The small villages that are chosen demonstrate some of the beauty and diversity of this area. Gordana, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge. Her love and enthusiasm for this area was evident from the beginning of this tour and didn't waver throughout the day. If you only have one day to spend in Provence, this is the tour to take.

Emily, our tour guide was engaging with all of us (6) on the tour. She made it feel more personal than being on a busload of strangers. After the second winery stop, I realized this was not a 3 hour tour. With Emily's help and the wonderful consideration of the other two couples, they got us back to our ship before it left the port. I sincerely thank all of you for helping us in a panic situation. When I booked the tour I thought it was a 3 hour tour (see copied text from Viator below), but turns out it was for 5 hours. Itinerary Chateauneuf-du-Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the most famous names in wine. The landscape here is sun-baked, with stony, sandy soils, dry scrubland, and of course, lots of vines. Châteauneuf-du-Pape has served as a gateway to the wine world. If you get a taste for this region’s wines, chances are, you’re going to be hooked. 3 hours • Admission Ticket Free Read more about - Wine Tasting Tour at Châteauneuf du Pape - https://www.viator.com/tours/Avignon/Wine-tasting-tour/d483-5502952P4?mcid=56757

Emily was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! She has personality plus and just made learning and experiencing the local villages a delight. It felt like I was a local hanging out with a family friend. Emily’s cast knowledge of the areas history is impressive and she was eager to answer all questions. She has excellent navigation and drives through the villages and towns flawlessly. Emily made a point to keep us hydrated and comfortable. She is more than a guide, I would say she’s an Ambassador for Tourism because she left me wanting to take every other tour her company offers. Emily has impeccable communication skills and her English is perfect! 10 out of 10 stars - Thank you Emily (and Gordona & Eric)
