What are people saying about Avignon

Sarah_L, May 2026

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.

Best wine tour ever

This tour was so much more than a normal wine tasting. Our guide Arlo was very knowledgeable on the wines in Provence and the smaller regions. It gave us a deeper appreciation wine making. The lunch with local food was a highlight. The wine area of Chateauneuf du Pape is beautiful. We had such an enjoyable day.

Seeing Provence in one day! Great way to spend your time.

It was a great tour. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The others on the tour all got along well and we had a fun day despite the bitter cold winds that persisted throughout. We were able to see a lot in the day trip and learn about Provence I was travelling alone and that made no difference. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the best of the region.

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!

Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour

Kenneth_T, Nov 2025

Long day, but well worth it

We enjoyed the entire experience. Being Van Gogh enthusiasts, we enjoyed St. Remy. Other sites visited, including Les Baux-de-Provence, the Roman Colosseum and ampitheatre in Arles, and the Roman Aquaduct were also stunning and well worth the time. Long day, but we would highly recommend. Our Tour guide, Nikolas, was knowledgeable, personable, and very informative.

This Is Why You Came To Avignon

This is a great way to see amazing Roman ruins, artsy hilltop walled cities and learn about (and walk on!) an awe-inspiring aqueduct…all while someone else takes care of driving and shares history, travel insights and great local color. You are going to thank yourself for this day.

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.

A most splendid day with friendly and knowledgable Emile

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.

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

GaryDavey, May 2025

Great half day tour from Avignon

This was a wonderful afternoon. Our guide was delightful, helpful and knowledgeable. The transport was of a high standard and I enjoyed each of the stops. The Pont du Gard was a highlight and I felt we had sufficient time at each location on the tour. The Orange amphitheater and wine tasting formed the other part of the tour and I really enjoyed each place. The guide pointed out other sites as we travelled to each location. A really enjoyable tour and worth the money.
