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.

Ann was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, funny and responsive to all our questions. She packed an amazing amount into our half day tour of Roman monuments and wonderful wine. Highly recommended.

We had a magnificent day seeing the theatre at Orange, winery, and Pont du Gard. Nathalie was an excellent guide—enthusiastic, informative, and welcoming. We will definitely recommend this tour to others who visit Provence!!

The Pont du Gard, this famous Roman structure has been on my Wishlist for a long time. You don't have to be an Architect to appreciate the outstanding quality and design of this structure.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and charming. The small group tour made this very delightful.
The wine tasting was great. Some of the best wine I ever tasted. Unfortunately, the shipping cost was very high. I would have loved to treat my friends to the best wine.

Our guide, Ann was great and very knowledgeable about the area and wine. She’s an excellent photographer too. The itinerary was perfect, a Roman theatre, an excellent wine tasting and a terrific presentation and viewing on the ancient aqueduct.

This wasn’t one of the best tours I’ve been on. The tour guide spent a good part of the tour talking with the French couple and only provided the bare essentials to the rest of the English speaking majority of the group. I think I’d rather find another way out to Pont du Gard and spend more time looking around the area.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
To be honest, Bonita, I had to do the tour bilingual, which was not the easiest for me, trust me, but I did explain everything I had to say in English: about wine and Roman history in particular.
We only have French speaking clients like 5 to 10% of the time so you were not lucky in that regard. I just cannot turn off French clients to focus solely on English speaking ones. It would not be fair to them as well.
If I did speak mainly with the French couple on the way back to Avignon, while some of you were speaking in English to each other, it is because they were the only ones speaking French besides me and felt a bit lost.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and provided a great experience even though we had a rain storm. We also appreciated her restaurant recommendations. We went to 2 of the restaurants and the food was delicious!

This was a fantastic tour. I didn't remember that the Roman Theater in Orange was included and it was a very interesting stop my husband loved the virtual reality area. Kelsy was very knowledgeable and very entertaining.
Linda_T, May 2025
A visit to the spectacular Pont du Gard with a road trip through the countryside made this special tour. Our guide Kelsy was warm and welcoming and introduced each stop with relevant and interesting information. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and highly recommend this tour
Dale_C, May 2025
The explanation of the tour is exactly what you get.
The tour took more than 4 hrs but the timing at each stop was perfect.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for these kind words.
Hoping seeing you again in Provence.

This was a great tour the guide was very knowledgeable about all the major attractions in Avignon and the food tasting were absolutely delicious and varied great tour I highly recommend
Matt_H, Apr 2025
Our tourguide was very nice and had great information about the stops and the region. The winery visit could have been better though. It was very rushed and there was not much time to ask questions or get a more in depth understanding of the wines.
Mary_V, Apr 2025
A truly outstanding tour! Kelsey S. provided an excellent historical perspective on Pont de Gard, the Roman theater in Orange and the wine industry in Chateauneuf du Pape. She has a wonderfully engaging personality and positive outlook on life that made us feel special. Highly, highly recommend!

Wonderful tour and guide! Our guide was so well informed. Pont du Gard is absolutely worth a visit. Amazing feat of Roman construction. Also wine tasting was very nice and the Roman theater was interesting as well! Thank you for a perfect afternoon.
Judy_F, Jun 2024
Our guide was fantastic! She gave us detailed and entertaining information throughout our tour. The sites did not disappoint, particularly the beautiful village where we tasted wine. A highlight of my holiday.
Paul_S, Jun 2024
Great trip. Our tour guide was amazing. So friendly and welcoming. She even bought us all an abundance of strawberries because they are the best in the region. Highly recommend.
Deanna_C, Jun 2024
My friends & I enjoyed this tour. Were a bit surprised that we had to pay extra nominal entrance fee at Roman theater in Orange. Guide Natalie was very pleasant & accommodating. Her speech is fast so difficult to understand all her — we assume — excellent commentary. Her microphone did not work for first part of tour so those in back missed her remarks. Appreciated her footstool for easier access in/out of van. Was great to visit Pont du Gard at cooler end of day.
James_C, Jun 2024
Very knowledgable guide gave a terrific tour of roman ruins and a wine collective with an interesting history related to the Avignon papacy
MaryKathleen_R, Jun 2024
Pont du Gard was outstanding. Our guide had an outstanding knowledge of the history of the region and all of the monuments we visited
Harry_K, Jun 2024
The wine tasting was exceptional and our guide was amazing.
The only bad part was the sneaky extra charge for the theater in Orange. I guess I should have read the small print. This should have been included in the fee. Although the theater was great, it was very annoying to have this surprise extra charge.
