Great tour near Avignon..
This experience was amazing with a short drive to beautiful villages of Nimes, Uzes and the ancient Pont du Gard. Our guide Kelcy shared great information and stories of each destination. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide and interesting sights.
Order of itinerary is all wrong.

Too bad we did not go into arena in Nimes.

Wonderful experience
Our guide was so pleasant and knowledgeable. She had a warm and engaging personality and loved sharing the history about the places we visited. She was attentive and happy to answer any questions we had. think her name was Amy( but she is the young lady who used to live in Bermuda- sorry if I got the name incorrect )

Great half day visit to...
Great half day visit to historic sites in Nimes, to Uzès and to the Pont du Gard - a small bus and therefore a small tour group - efficient (yet feels relaxed) and informative (without too much information) and plenty of time to wander around independently - guided tours are not normally our thing but we really enjoyed this tour

Great guide. Well planned...
Great guide. Well planned day that covered a lot. Loved the Pont du Gard and Orange Theatre best. Authentic lunch but a bit light.
Bit squashed with 6 people plus Arlo the guide in the car on a hot day.
Overall enjoyed the day. Good value.

Great tour for great photos
Nimes was the highlight of the tour with the colosseum and the Roman temple. The town of Uzès was a surprise and the Pont du Gard was a lesson of Romans as architects.
