Half-Day Provence Pont du Gard and Wine Tasting Tour from Avignon

Barbara_L, Jun 2026

Awesome tour guide, average tour

Ann, our tour guide is excellent- extremely knowledgeable of the regions we visited . We enjoyed the winery although that was first and also a very small portion of the 5 hour tour. The stops in between the winery and point du Gard were interesting however I think the tour could be shorter by skipping the two stops in between. Pont du Gard is a must- see! Again, Ann was incredible and very knowledgeable- I think the tour design is a little longer than needed .

A brilliant trip with guide Anne

An excellent experience. Anne was a brilliant guide and was very knowledgeable. The theatre was interesting, the wine tasting very nice and the Pont du Gard was just amazing. We both really enjoyed it. I’d pay more to have food at the wine tasting but that’s just personal preference. It was a great trip with plenty of time to do everything so I would recommend it. Especially if you get Anne as your guide!

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.
