    Very nice trip. Pont Du Gard was the highlight but Nimes and Orange are also good. Arnaud was very helpful.

    Great action packed day of Roman sites

    Great action packed day out. Aldo was very good and very knowledgeable. We covered a lot in 1 day. Orange, Nimes and the Pont du Gard.

    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.

    Amazing tour!

    Very personalized tour of only 3 guests. The tour guide was very interested in making the tour as enjoyable as possible. The picnic lunch was a pleasant addition to the trip to Pont du Gard. The locations visited were amazing and informative. Loved the tour!

    Wonderful day

    We thoroughly enjoyed our day with our amazing guide, Arnaud. This tour included all the places on our "must see" list. The added bonus was the lovely picnic lunch with all locally sourced foods. I highly recommend his tours!!

    A great day well pace ……highly recommend…the lunch was great but some French wine would have gone down well…instead of the fresh eggs…a choice of ham also …bring the cheese out earlier too…so nice…the bread scrumptous. The last visit could have been shorter

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you for the review and for your remarks. My goal is to provide a Provençal picnic with products from local farms, so you have to know that in Provence we don’t make ham, and we eat cheese between the main meal and dessert. About wine, I can’t bring alcohol during a picnic I offer, I am sorry. About the shorter last visit, I take it into account to improve my tour in the future, thank you !

    Amazing view of Roman Theater in Orange

    Myung_L, Oct 2023
    The spectacle of ancient Roman Theater of Orange was amazing and unexpected. View of the Theater from the hill where we had a picnic for lunch was also great.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Thank you very much Myung ! I hope you liked the other places too ! I wish you the best
