The tour was not described at all, so I suppose it's difficult to fault a non-description.

larlen, Dec 2024

This tour only listed the locations the trip would go and the time the allotted. So with that in mind - the tour met its goal. However, was it really a tour? I think not. The driver took us to all three sites, dropped us off in each spot, gave us map (well, not each of us - every third one so we had to stay in groups) and as if on a scavenger hunt - suggested we go to several spots he mentioned, gave us directions to meet him back at a carpark to move on to the next site. So, it was NOT a tour, but more just transportation to each site and about 30 min in each place. No commentary from guide unless you asked a question.

LauraAnn_K, Dec 2024

The small towns are so beautiful. The Roman aqueduct is amazing and interesting. Well worth the day.

Great tour of key sites in Provence

Patrick_B, Dec 2024

The selection of sites to visit is perfect for a one-day intro to Provence. Our guide Amar was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful.

Excellent day trip with extraordinary guide

Jacki M, Dec 2024

This trip packs a punch: from Avignon we went to Nimes and its well preserved arena, then to Uzes and Pont du Gard before circling back to the other side of Avignon for a trip to an olive oil press, winery, and brief stops in Les Beaux and St. Remy’s “Les Antiques.” Frederic was an excellent guide to the region and really picked up on our interests in the area’s agronomy and history. He was well equipped to offer rich detail in his delivery of interesting information, and the conversation flowed very nicely for the whole 10-hour trip. He answered deep questions with aplomb and showed a great deal of his own wide-ranging interests in his responses. Furthermore, he really worked to get us to as many sites as possible. While the Uzes town visit in particular was a bit short, we so enjoyed getting to see the range of towns Provence and Occitane had to offer. This trip was great as well because we mixed in some lower key stops at an impressive olive oil press for a tour with the owner and at an excellent winery. All in all, this was a day full of stunning Roman and Medieval sites, along with some of the modern French culture that makes its culinary scene so well known. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour and our guide!
