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!

This tour took us to some beautiful and picturesque places, which were high on our bucket list.
Unfortunately we were in the back seat of the minivan and could not hear a word of the commentary. At our first stop, we advised Hubert, our driver/guide that we couldn’t hear him , which he acknowledged that he knew. I asked if he had a microphone so we could hear. No he didn’t. And that was that. He didn’t speak any louder so we could hear and so we were just sight seeing with no commentary on where we were, what we were looking at or any history that went with each place, until we got to the last stop at Pont du Gard.
At every stop, we were given a time to return. Hubert didn’t give us a walking tour and so we still weren’t given any information on the places we saw.
Hubert was a nice man, helping us out of the van and taking some photos for us at Roussillon.
Overall this was a hugely disappointing experience and tour, as this was one of the tours we were looking forward to most on our journey around France.
Possibly with a different guide, the experience would have been amazing.

A wonderful way to see several of the best villages and sights of Provence around Avignon. Nickola was an excellent guide. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable,clear and fun.
David_R, Oct 2025
Nice way to visit several smaller villages in Provence as well as a couple of UN Heritage sites. There were 8 people in our van.

A taste of the various villages in Provence with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately felt somewhat rushed and the directions on where to go were not always clear.
Anamaria_C, Aug 2025
What a lovely experience! Great guide, lovely places in S France. Everything was perfect and certainly recommend it x
David_H, Jul 2025
Tiere was an amazing guide. I learned so much about the geography, history, agriculture and people of Provence. I would recommend this day trip as a great way to grey a feel for the region.
Yelena_S, Jun 2025
It was really great small group (8 people) tour. We loved all places where our guide took during this day: beautiful picturesque villages, scarlet poppies fields, ancient Pont du Gard. We haven' t been able to see all of it in one day without this tour. And we didn't feel rushed at all. Our tour guide and driver Hubert was very nice and knowledgeable. Overall, I am very glad we took this tour, we truly enjoyed it. Thank you!

It was a good day, but was not as it was described by Viator in the description of what to expect. We were given a location for our meeting point. When we booked it, we gave the location of our hotel and were told this is not one of their pickup locations. We took a cab and paid 20 euros to meet our guide Frederic. He told us we were then going to pick up others people from our tour, right wheee our hotel was. Frederic called his administrator and said he has no idea why this was done.
We knew this was a 9 hr day with stops at 5 places. The description said a 2 hr stop in Rousillion to have lunch on your own and explore the town. There were actually 6 stops and each was only 45 minutes so there wasn’t time to explore. Our tour guide Frederic was wonderful, and when we showed him the itinerary, he said the tour has NEVER been as it was presented in the paperwork.
We did get to see a lot of great places, but it was exhausting and not what we had thought it would be.

A must! A great overview of Provence. A beautiful region with a lot of history. Worth the price for a small group.
Colton_B, May 2025
Our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even took us to couple of extra short stops because we were running a little ahead of schedule.
Nadia_M, May 2025
Bridgitte was very nice and accommodating but a little hard to understand and sometimes hard to hear for some. The day is too long and would have liked more time in St. Remy rather than the other towns.
Sylvia_O, May 2025
It is a full day of marvelous sights we would have never been able to get to on our own in a day. Our driver made sure we had time to ask questions and explore on our own. Surprised and pleased with the breath and scope of this incredible region. A lovely day with a knowledgeable guide/driver. No waiting in lines or paying entrance fees.
Michael_C, Apr 2025
Very comprehensive all-day tour of Provence. We probably would have preferred the inclusion of Nimes or Chateauneuf du Pape rather than St Remy but the best part of the tour was our witty and knowledgeable guide Nico.
Fiona_G, Nov 2024
Thiery, the tour guide, gave us a well thought-out tour of Provence. We were allowed adequate time at each location, and moved around in a comfortable and air-conditioned van. It was a very enjoyable day.
Karla_S, Oct 2024
Loved our day tour to the five villages yesterday! Outstanding! We had a visit at each stop with enough time to explore a bit and buy some momentos! Recommend this tour!

We Visited 5 villages and the aquaduct. The landscapes were amazing along our journey. Our guide, Frederick, gave us extensive history about every village we were visiting. Excellent guide and driver. Highly recommend this tour
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi !

See you soon on a next tour !
Michelle_F, Oct 2024
The tour was very nice. We got to see some beautiful places. The tour covers a lot of territory so you get to see many places but not a lot of time in each place. I am grateful I did not have to do the driving as the roads are very narrow. Our guide was very informative about all the stops.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hello !
Thank you for leaving us a nice review.
We are very pleased you had a great trip visiting and discovering all theses beautiful little villages of Provence. Indeed, the roads can be a little narrow. Good thing that our driver guides know very well the roads.
Safe travels !
Baljinder_B, Oct 2024
Fantastic tour! We were very happy to travel outside of Avignon to see the amazing towns nearby. David did a great job going over history of the regions along the way.
Mark_H, Sep 2024
It is a good tour if you have limited time and want a fast and overall view of Provence. There isn't much time to go into churches, museums, etc. It is an introductory to the area. Our guide was very nice and patient with tour members. I would suggest that the tour guide (who was also our van driver) use a microphone while she is talking. We, in the back seats, had a lot of trouble hearing her as she was facing the front of vehicle and made it difficult to hear what she said as we traveled by van.
Linda_D, Sep 2024
Just what we had hoped for - visits to some of the most beautiful and extraordinary places in Provence with a personable and knowledgeable guide and a fun group of people.
Mark_P, Sep 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. He provided a lot of information during the tour. Tour is very good and we will definitely recommend it.

My daughter and I had a wonderful day. We were able to see a lot in a short time. Our guide Nicholas did a great job.
praneeta_O, Sep 2024
The trip was so fun and beautiful, the guide was so informative and kind, it truly made the trip wonderful!
Reyna_C, Aug 2024
It was a wonderful experience and best way to get a quick glimpse of the beautiful small villages.
It’s a full day tour and our guide Bridgett did a great job explaining the unique nature and historical significance of each region.
Liviu_D, Aug 2024
Beautiful villages, fabulous views, amazing Pont du Gard and a knowledgeable and professional tour guide. Thank you, Nico, for an unforgettable experience!
Chas_B, Aug 2024
We were really looking forward to this tour. We went on a food tour of Avignon the day before (highly recommend) and our guide was so excited that we were doing this tour. It’s very dependent upon the guide and ours didn’t start off well and it remained bad. I would only suggest this if you are short on time and request a different guide if possible. Initially I thought that it was just because we couldn’t hear Bridgette throughout the car but she really did not prep the sites well and most of them, she dropped us off and said we had x minutes. It was clear that she either wasn’t listening or didn’t understand what we were asking when we asked questions on the region. She didn’t engage us much and ask questions about us or tell us about herself or much on were we were going or even play French radio. Most of the car ride was quiet waiting for her info until we started engaging with the other two guests. We have taken more than 15 tours like this and this was the worst, especially for the cost. Very kind person but not the guide for us.

We only had 2 days in Provence and really wanted to see as much as we could so we booked this tour and I'm SOOO happy we did. Not only did we cover a vast amount of the region, hitting all the beautiful highlights, our tour David was the best. He was funny, knowledgeable, and super personable making the day feel not long enough despite the 9 hour duration
Nguyet_P, Jul 2024
Our tour guide Frederic was so knowledgeable and friendly. He drove us to all the sites listed on the tour itinerary and shared with us the history of the sites along the way. One of our daughters said it felt like she was in a history class, but a fun one. We got to see so many beautiful villages in Provence in a day. Given our limited time, it was perfect. And we could not have gotten a better guide than Frederic. This tour is the highlight of our time in France. We would totally recommend.
Robert_v, May 2024
Nickoli did a great job driving, taking care of everyone's needs, and made the day enjoyable as well ask entertaining and educational. He answered all the questions that anyone had. It was a wonderful day and we traveled more than 250 km.
So even though we had a full van of eight guestsa and we were situated in the very back, they were comfortable. We had plenty of room and it was cool enough and we could hear what he was saying in the front seat. You know sometimes you don't have a clue as to what the guide is saying, that was not the case with Nikolai.m
