We enjoyed the entire experience. Being Van Gogh enthusiasts, we enjoyed St. Remy. Other sites visited, including Les Baux-de-Provence, the Roman Colosseum and ampitheatre in Arles, and the Roman Aquaduct were also stunning and well worth the time. Long day, but we would highly recommend. Our Tour guide, Nikolas, was knowledgeable, personable, and very informative.

Wonderful small group experience. The owners are the tour guides so they really care that you get a great experience. Arles was so interesting and the restaurant recommendation from our guide was terrific. There was plentyof time to exploreat each stop. I highly recommended this tour.

This tour is a must do

Veronica was so knowledgeable and personable. We had an AMAZING time and learned so much along the way. I would highly recommend.

Fabulous day trip from Avignon! Highly, highly recommended!!

Catherine_K, Jul 2024

This was me and my husband’s first time to Avignon. We decided against renting a car. Best decision. Veronica was the most courteous, kind and knowledgeable tour guide we could have asked for. We saw Saint Remy de Provence; including the mental hospital where Van Gogh painted many of his most famous works, as well as some Roman ruins nearby; the cliff side village of Chateaus de Baux-de-Provence ; the more bustling Arles, which had a lively street market the day we were there. At Arles, be sure and see the coliseum. Lastly. we stopped at the Pont du Gard. I highly recommend this tour, especially if this is your first trip to the area. As I said, Veronica was the best!

The format of the trip...

Rossitsa_V, Jul 2023

The format of the trip was very good - 5 people - the places we visited were giving a good impression of Provence, the Roman heritage, the presence of Van Gogh. Our guide was nice.

Great day trip

Susan_Y, Jul 2023

Tour guide was knowledgeable on all points of interest, flexible and personable. Loved the places visited.

Great outing in Provence

Robert_B, Jul 2023

The whole trip was great. Nico was very nice and took us to some beautiful places. Arles was fun to explore and we had a nice lunch there. The old Roman sites were very impressive.

Well worth it

Marc_B, Jun 2023

Veronica gave a great historical perspective to the whole area—The areas we covered during the day gave us a deeper knowledge of this part of Provence and I would absolutely recommend for couples (or otherwise) of all ages. Thanks again Veronica!

Great service. Well executed and organised . Comfortable mini van. The guides English was excellent.

NIce Driver but we thought he would stay with us to explain the area more.

Maria_K, Oct 2022

Vehicle was clean and prompt. Driver was friendly and nice. WE thought he was going to walk with us through each part and stop and talk about the area. It was a drive and drop off except for the winery part.

Great small group tour with ability to roam solo. Highly recommend

Leslie_D, Aug 2022

Small group tour with three of us and three others. Full day but it went by fast. We saw many towns but didn’t feel rushed, plenty of time to explore each village. Nicholas was very knowledgeable and would give us maps for each stop and tour information in the van, then we were free to explore. I really enjoyed this format versus a walking tour. He was very friendly and we had a blast exploring the region.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you Leslie, it was a pleasure to have your family as a guest. All the best to you all. Nico

Beautiful day exploring Provence

bungeegirl, Jan 2022

Great pace & itinerary! We had enough time to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. Nicolas was a fantastic guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you could enjoy our tour despite of the cold winter weather! Best wishes to you both.

Excellent!

Fernando_C, May 2019

Vero was the best tour guide ever. The sights, the explanations, the schedule... everything was great! One hundred percent recommended! You MUST book this day trip. No doubts.

Beautiful Scenery, Wonderful Guide

Susan_B, Oct 2018

We took an all day tour of Historical Provence w a lovely guide, Veronica. She was extremely knowledgeable about the sites, local culture, wine and food. Plus, she had a charming demeanor and was able to speak in English and Russian to accommodate the two couples on the tour. We only wished that she could have accompanied us to each of the sites with her expert commentaries.

This tour was excellent. It is...

HsiaoWen_L, Jul 2016

This tour was excellent. It is nicely planned so we can see the highlights of Provence in a day in relaxing manner, and it was all done through great transportation and guide - adding that much more comfort to a hot summer day! I'd also like to mention that our guide Nicolas was very kind. In the morning, he picked up/dropped me off at where I stay outside of Avignon, and that saved me time from riding bus to/from the city. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved this tour with Nico...

Kathleen_C, Jun 2016

Absolutely loved this tour with Nico of ProVans Tours. Saw St Remy, Baux des Provence, Arles, Pont du Gard and Chateauxneuf du Pape - the perfect combo for our interests in Roman history and wine! Nico was professional and courteous and had all kinds of I'm Net resting information to share. Perfect English. No hesitation to recommend! Thank you Nico!
