Provence Highlights Full-Day Tour from Avignon

Gabriella_C, May 2026

An interesting day out

This was a big day out to the villages of Vaucluse, Gordes, Roussillion, Baux de Vence, St Remy and the the Pont du Gard. We had a lovely guide, named Nathalie. She was really informative, had a good sense of humour and was a very good driver given that it had rained most of that day. In most of the towns we had free time completely, but in St Remy and at the Pont du Gard Nathalie accompanied us.

Amazing day with Gordana

Gordana is the very best guide you could wish for, friendly, knowledgeable, fun and so welcoming. We had an excellent day going to some of the most picturesque villages and learning loads from Gordana. At the end our small group felt like we had always known each other. Aside from being an excellent guide Gordana brings people together. This was an excellent tour and Gordana made it extra special with a little surprise for us to help us celebrate a special occasion. We will never forget the places we saw, the people we met. Provence with Gordana is the best tour company we used in Avignon, miles apart from the rest.

Wine Tasting Tour at Châteauneuf du Pape

Anne_M, May 2026

Very, very highly recommended

Fun and great learning experience. A tour of the vineyard and winery followed by tastings. Really knowledgeable and informative winemaker whose enthusiasm and passion shone through. Next was a tasting that showcased the changing wine styles in Chateauneuf du Pape. Very well explained and interesting. We then went to a vineyard to see the famous pebbles covering the ground, again really interesting. The tour was run by two cousins who were knowledgeable, warm and a lot of fun. They went to great lengths to try and make it a goo experience for us. Thanks so much for a great day and we will recommend you to anyone coming to the area.

Nimes, Uzes & Pont du Gard Small Group FULL DAY Tour from Avignon

Andrea_W, May 2026

Marveling at ancient Roman engineering in Provence

Very good experience. Our guide adjusted well to running into many road blockages in Nimes because of a bank holiday marathon and a major demonstration on May Day. None-the-less, lots of time lost in Nimes due to having to walk large distances. Things went more smoothly in Pont du Gard and Uses. Enough time to sight see and have lunch. Roman sites were amazing.

Perfect Highlight Tour of the Area

Frederico was absolutely perfect! He was knowledgeable, funny, and was genuinely fun to be around all day. I cannot say enough good things about his service and tour! The little towns throughout the area are all different and interesting. We especially appreciated the Spring, Le Beaux, and Pont du Gard. Extra special thanks to the tour company who honored our reservation during an especially low time of the season when other tour companies were canceling on us. I genuinely appreciated the tour company keeping their word!

Louise_L, Dec 2025

Excellent Day Trip

We appreciated this day tour because it meant that we could sit back and enjoy the view. Our wonderful guide, Ghislain, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable, friendly and even took us to a place not described in the official description of the tour, just because someone in our group requested it. St Rémy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence (my favourite) and the fascinating Pont du Gard should not be missed.

Amazing experience with a knowledgeable guide!

We had a fantastic day with Thierry! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to three amazing vineyards, each with its own character and excellent wines. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch in a beautiful setting — the perfect break between tastings. I learned more about wine on this tour than I had on any previous ones. There was absolutely no pressure to buy, but the wines were so good that we couldn’t resist sending some home. The tour was an incredible value — honestly, we would have happily paid double for the experience!

For the love of Lavender!

Our tour guide Emilie was amazing! She was so much fun and very knowledgable. Additionally, Emilie was so accommodating and thoughtful to my elderly mother who was struggling to walk due to a recent injury. The lavender fields were incredibly beautiful and the view points were breathtaking. The tour of the Provence region was incredible and our love and understanding of the region was forever changed! Thank you Emilie!
