We covered alot of ground in a very engaging and comfortable way. Anne was congenial, informative, and responsive to our comfort and interests. Of course, there is a trade off between visiting many places and spending quality time there, but you could choose where to return on your own if interested and have time. For those with limited time, this is a perfect introduction to many charming places.

Really enjoyed the tour. Nathalie was our guide. She is sweet, kind, very warm and welcoming to everyone. The tour was a small group only 8 of us and the guide so it felt like a private tour. Aircon in the minivan was strong and Nathalie gave us cold water so that was very much appreciated. The tour was good, covered a lot of ground and it’s really worth it. Went to quite a number of villages and ending at Pont du Gard. Highly recommended.

This was an excellent tour! Our guide, Kelsey, was informative and thorough. She gave us excellent direcection at each location. We were in a group of 8 and it was a great mix of lovely people. Everyone respected the departure times we were given. Each stop was very nice And we were given time to explore these areas. The Provence area is gorgeous! This is a wonderful way to explore the Provence region. Highly recommend this trip!

Natalie was our guide. She was very knowledgeable of the region. Learned a lot more about different towns in Provence.
Sheila_J, Jun 2026
It was a great experience, and without a car, would never have been able to view that much of Provence in a day. Kelsey was very knowledgeable about the area and did a great job in sharing her wisdom with a bright and sparkling personality.
Heather_G, Jun 2026
Natalie was our van’s guide of 5 people. She was quite knowledgeable of the region and very interesting.
I would recommend the full day tour. It is the best way to see these stunning towns.
Debra_D, Jun 2026
Magical tour! My guide (young girl from Jamaica though sadly I never caught her name) was absolutely amazing and the villages are all so different and beautiful!!
Lorrae_W, Jun 2026
Check the weather forecast before you go as we had glorious hot and sunny weather in the morning but the heavens opened up for a few hours in the afternoon but then did brighten up again by the end of the day.
Colby_L, Jun 2026
Very effective way to see Provence in a day! We enjoyed the smaller group (we had two people outside of our family of four) and got a great sense of where we’d like to visit when we come back. Guide was very friendly and patient with our children.
Debra_Q, Jun 2026
Great overview of the area. Very insightful. Loved the small sized group. Had everything we were hoping to experience.
Kristina_F, May 2026
Tour was a bit too rushed, though we did see a lot. The first 90 minutes were spent on our own, in a people packed market. We would have preferred to spend more time at Pont du Gard or some of the towns instead. Tour guide drove quite aggressively, to keep on schedule I guess, but not a very nice ride. She also didn’t wait for everyone to catch up before she started talking. It was hard to hear what she was saying at times and she spoke too fast. Not a very friendly person for a tour guide actually. Still a worthwhile tour if you’re looking for a quick overview of the highlights of the area, but if you prefer to spend more time at each place, then I suggest looking for a different tour or do a private tour where you can pick what you most want to see. 45 minutes at Pont du Gard is not enough.
Response from Host, May 2026
Sorry you were not completely satisfied by this tour.
GuoAn_F, May 2026
Very good package, beautiful landscape and friendly guide. Very relaxing and good time control. Thanks.
Austra_G, May 2026
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Perfect amount of time spent in each place to get a good sense of various aspects of Provence. So nice that it was just a group of eight people, in a nicely air conditioned van. Beautiful scenic route between Fontaine de Vaucluse and Gordes. Our guide, Kelsey, was absolutely fantastic. A skilled and very safe driver, she was so knowledgeable and courteous and taught us so much about the area and all of the sites, in English and in French. I really enjoyed that. She taught us about the environment, history, culture, food, people... and so much more! She was gracious enough to always offer to take photos of everyone in the group at key scenic points. Highly highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I had an amazing full-day Provence tour that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the experience was perfectly organized, relaxing, and filled with unforgettable views and experiences.
We loved exploring the beautiful villages, scenic countryside, and hidden gems throughout Provence. Every stop felt unique and thoughtfully planned, giving us the perfect mix of history, culture, food, and breathtaking scenery. The pace was ideal — we never felt rushed and truly had the chance to enjoy each location.
What made the day especially memorable was the warm hospitality and local knowledge shared throughout the tour. We learned so much about the region while also having a genuinely fun and enjoyable time together.
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to France, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic and memorable Provence experience.

We could fully explore the area, it was a busy schedule but I would have been better if we could stay at Saint Remy longer
Melanie_S, May 2026
I was very happy with this tour as a solo traveler without a car. I booked it on my very first day in Avignon to orient myself to the area. It’s a long day, so you do need a lot of energy. There are half day options which I think would be a good choice for some that like a more leisurely day, it really depends on how much energy you have.
Gabriella_C, May 2026
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.
Marnie_W, May 2026
The tour was an excellent introduction to beautiful Provence. Kelli was fun, friendly and accommodating. She answered questions readily and provided great background information throughout the tour!!
Lani_C, May 2026
Natalia was our guide. She was very thorough and knowledgeable, especially being from the Provence region. She was patient and kind and was able to answer any of our follow up questions. Our tour had 6 guests, one of which was a French speaker. Natalia flawlessly executed the tour in both languages. I was surprised she didn’t lose her voice.
The van was comfortable for 6. 7 would have fit fine but I do think 8 would’ve been a squeeze. The amount of time spent in each location was perfect. Not too long, not too short. I tend to not do too many of these tours, but this was the best way to visit all these smaller towns that had limited access as I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of renting a car. Well worth it.
As a solo traveler, this was a nice way to meet some great folks. I had a lot of fun and highly recommend this tour.
Steve_H, May 2026
The sights are beautiful. The person who led the tour was very friendly and engaged the group . Wish the tour was more guidance and stories, rather than time alone at the different places. The stops and timing of the stops were right on. I felt safe with all the driving.
Response from Host, May 2026
I am sorry you felt you had too much time on your own at different stops. This tour is a mix of time alone with some explanation of things to do while there and guided tours in both Saint Rémy and at the pont du Gard.
A great majority of people enjoy the mix of time to discover the places on their own and guided walks.

Very long day. Interesting experiencing towns but too much time in each stop. Tour should only be 6 hours.
Guide Natalie speaks good English with heavy accent and spoke way to fast. Not able to understand ( or hear) much of the information. I WOULD NOT
do another tour with her
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Sir,
It's IM-PO-SSI-BLE to do the tour in 6 hours. To make things clear: taking into account the time we travel departing from Avignon, going to the different places and coming back to Avignon, it takes about 4 hours. In 2 hours, you cannot visit 6 different spots, customers don't want to stay 20 minutes in each location, rushing around is useless!
Sorry to know you could hardly understand or hear me, there was no problem in telling me this, the situation could have been sorted out easily.
Best regards,
Nathalie

Hope you get Kelsey a tour guide. We are seasoned travelers and she was awesome! Just enough time except wish we could have seen me of the hospital where Van Gogh stayed and the Roman ruins instead of spending time at the mountain top.
Theresa_M, Apr 2026
Extremely fun and small group. Anne, the tour guide, kept the day moving which allowed for extra time for additional sightseeing and pictures.
Anne was highly informative. Highly recommend this all day activity. Felt like I wrapped two or three days into one full day.
Karen_E, Mar 2026
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.
Michael_H, Mar 2026
We saw so many beautiful locations! Absolutely worth doing, particularly if you only have one day and want to cover a lot of ground.
Carol_C, Mar 2026
Fabulous tour, Natalie our guide was amazing. I was not rushed and visited some lovely villages that I would not have been able to see if not on this tour.
robert_p, Nov 2025
We had a great experience seeing the highlights of Provence with our guide. The ride was comfortable and our guide was knowledgeable and shared the right amount of information about the local sites. Be prepared for the Mistral winds!
Perry_P, Oct 2025
Nathalie, our guide, did an amazing job with this tour. Perfect amount of time in each of the villages. Only two of us on the tour, but plenty of room for 4 others. 9.5 hour day with a lunch stop. Would definitely do this tour again!!
Felice_M, Oct 2025
It’s a fabulous day seeing a lot of what Provence has to offer. If you’re short on time it’s a great option. Kelsey our tour guide/driver was fabulous and had great tips for each town/sight on where to get the best photos/food/experience given our overcast conditions (but also told us if that changed in sunnier conditions, or when there were more tourists, in case we were to visit again)
Karen_V, Oct 2025
Experience was made better for us as tour went ahead despite us 2 only booked in on the day.
Appreciated it went ahead
