Top Avignon Day Trips - page 4

It’s a fabulous day seeing a lot of what Provence has to offer. If you’re short on time it’s a great option. Kelsey our tour guide/driver was fabulous and had great tips for each town/sight on where to get the best photos/food/experience given our overcast conditions (but also told us if that changed in sunnier conditions, or when there were more tourists, in case we were to visit again)

Our guide, Joanna, was superb. She had a vast amount of knowledge about a host of things from ancient history to Van Gogh. The tour could easily be two hours longer with an extra hour at Pont du Gard and a half hour at each village (time for a light meal!), but it gives you a great overview.

Emile was magnificent and we enjoyed both morning and afternoon tours with him to Pond Du Gard, Baux de Provence, We enjoyed a wonderful walking tour inside Avignon’s Papal Palace & old city walls. Our highlight was an afternoon drive yesterday to hike St.Remy, Les Baux De Provence, & then to hike out in the Southern countryside of France see the 2000 year old Pont Du Gard built by the Romans, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. 😊 We hopped all-aboard Tren Italia this morning to Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour and look forward to our return to Avignon a one day.

How lucky were we. We booked this tour the day before we'd taken another tour and struck gold as we got Kelsy again (had her on a full day tour the day before). Even though the places that we visited were magnificent the trip was made all the better by Kelsy's lovely personality and vast knowledge of the region and not just things associated with the places that we visited. She even made the effort to find out the answer to one of my questions that had nothing to do with what we were doing on the tour whilst we had free time. We weren't rushed and her instructions were clear with regard to meeting spots, time frames etc. If you get Kelsy as a guide on a tour your in for a great day!!

A nice excursion from Avignon to three different wine regions nearby. Great tasting experiences and a lovely picnic lunch with local products. Our host was very knowledgeable and congenial. I live in Sonoma County in California and have had many wine tasting experiences and I was impressed with this tour.

Casey (spelling?) was a fabulous tour guide. We had a mixed English and French group and she could switch flawlessly from one language to the other. Casey drove professionally and safely and gave us detailed instructions on where to go and what to see. If one only has a short period of time in Avignon and wants to get a good representation of the quaint, small towns in Provence, I highly recommend this tour in general and this tour guide in particular.

Great day wine tour of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nico was very knowledgeable about the region and about wine and winemaking. He made it a fun experience testing our knowledge and teaching us what we didn’t know. We visited two wineries and Cave wine shop that’s located just below the Chateau. Tasted some amazing wines and learned about the different styles of wine from the region. And bought wine to ship back home. Couldn’t ask for a better variety of experiences in one day.

Nicholas was awesome. Highly recommend. He was very knowledgeable and provided great historical and current information on the villages, agriculture and region. Best way to see Luberon valley and the villages!! He provides excellent suggestions on how to see each village and where to eat. He would be great on any of his tours
