What are people saying about Avignon

Cassandra_E, May 2026

Highly Recommend

My husband, his sister, and I took the half day “History of the Pont du Gard” tour. Because of her excellent reviews we signed up for Gordana’s tour. As it turned out, Gordana’s daughter Emily was our guide, along with her niece Camille, guide in training. They both obviously love sharing their knowledge about their country and its history with visitors. Both are friendly, kind, witty, and attentive to their guests. Emily did an excellent job driving. They showed us the highlights of Nimes, Uzès, and the Pont du Gard. They made sure we were comfortable, offered bottled water as needed, and patiently answered all of our questions. They even treated us to Calissons, a specialty candy of Provence. Over all it was a delightful experience. I highly recommend this tour. Other travelers, especially the elderly or mobility impaired, should be aware that it's a long walk from the parking lots to the Pont du Gard.

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.

Provence in a nutshell

The itinerary is fabulous, you will see great diversity and beauty in the different villages you will explore, I cannot recommend this experience enough!

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!

Amy_K, Oct 2025

Great choice to do charming villages and a Roman site.

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.

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!

Fun day visiting Luberon Hill towns

Lovely day xisiting the Luberon Valley hill towns. Kelsey our guide was lovely and a good driver. We had 6 people in our group. She dropped us off at each of the towns and allowed us to explore. She gave us some history on the ride to the towns and gave us options how to spend our time there. It was a lovely day

In the footsteps of Van Gogh in Provence from Avignon

Cindy_C, Sept 2025

Fun in Van Gogh’s Footsteps

Excellent fun and super interesting walk through the footsteps of Van Gogh in Arles and charming St Remy. Whether or not you’re an art fan, this tour includes local architecture, history, and lore. A pretty comfy van with enough stops. Eat before you go. Our guide Martine was a great driver and the best guide. She’s great!
