Outstanding tour by Nick ! Well versed and very professional guide ! Highly recommended and well worth the monies !
This tour exceeded all our expectations. Frederick, our tour guide, was a great guide for the day and made this tour. His oenology knowledge provided a good background for the wine tasting and even had the two 18 year old girls traveling with us interested. Our visit to the Chateau de la Gardine to taste and better understand why the Châteauneuf-du-Pape is such an exceptional wine was extensive and beyond our expectations. Our day was busy with onward visits to Orange to see the Roman theater, then to the Roman bridge, Pont du Gard, which should be a must when in Provence and finally the town of Uzés known for its' well-preserved medieval architecture, and the iconic Place aux Herbes. All the while Fred continued with the important information concerning each place visited as well as some personal insights. The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge built in the first century AD and now 2000 years later it still crosses the Gardon River.
Our all day tour could not have been better! A great mix of history and exploring small towns and of course wonderful wine and chocolate! Our guide Thierry was exceptional in every way- very friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
This a day to remember. The route is brilliantly organised such that the journeys from one to the next are very comfortable. Our guide, Nicolas, was knowledgeable, humorous, efficient and made the day informative, yet great fun.
I cannot recommend this experience too highly.
We absolutely enjoyed our tour with Fred. He was extremely kind, courteous, and tailored our tour to our wishes. We enjoyed every stop, Pont du Gard was by far a major highlight! The Roman theatre in Orange was spectacular and so massive! The triumphal arch, wine tasting, and chocolate tasting were the “icing on the cake.” Everything was wonderful, along with our delicious lunch. Most enjoyable was the wonderful day Fred gave us!
We wanted to see the Roman Aquaduct and the arena in Orange, but mostly due to the enthusiasm of Nico, our guide, the entire tour was fun and informative. We know it was the luck of the draw, but we enjoyed the other three people on the tout tremendously. This was our first Viator tour and are now interested in booking other ones.
The wine and chocolate tour included a visit to the Pont du Gard and the Roman Theatre in Orange. The driver and guide Nico was both very informative and friendly. He gave us just the right amount of time at each place and was considerate of our energy levels! He booked us a table at an excellent restaurant in the market at Uzes. This was the best day tour I have ever experienced. Merci beaucoup.
We had a really good tour with Nico who went out of his way to give us a really good experience. It covered really interesting places and he was very relaxing to travel with.
Our guide, Jean-Baptiste, was excellent: knowledgeable, personable, flexible and all around great. He gave us great lessons and insights on wine in general and particularly Rhone Valley wines and some of the towns, villages and estates. This was interspersed with many amusing insights and anecdotes along the way. The only minor issue we had with the tour was that the chocolate part of the tour was merely one stop at a touristy chocolate shop that didn't seem all that special. We had seen a couple of really great boutique chocolate shops in Nimes a couple of days prior and specifically refrained from buying from them because we anticipated much more from the chocolate part of the History, Chocolate and Wine tour we had arranged a few days later. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful day and my friends and I all had a great time and learned a lot.
Fantastic. So many varied activities throughout the day in a very comfortable van. JB is a very informed and entertaining guide
O passeio foi fantástico, surpreendente. Superou as expectativas. O guia Sr. Antonio, foi muito atencioso, explicando e contando a história de cada lugar. Muito profissional. Não deixem de fazer.
