A brilliant whistle-stop tour of Provence - Such a lovely day! Truly impressed by the grandeur of Pont du Gard and incredible scenery of the Alpilles. Les Baux-de-Provence is ridiculously pretty! Pepe was an excellent guide - enthusiastic and informative. And such a lovely, friendly group. As a solo traveller I felt relaxed and welcome.

Great Trip and many things to see - Morgane was a great tour guide. We saw plenty on this trip with my main focus being the Pont Du Gard. Morgane went on with the history of the areas and answered questions about the what we were seeing or doing. We had plenty of free time in Avignon to explore also.

The perfect day in Provence - Our guide Jehann was amazing! With stops at ancient city Les Baux (so fun to meander up and down the winding stone roads and peek inside all the shops and galleries), the ancient Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct, lunch in Avignon, and a Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine tasting . . . It was a full day of Provence. We learned so much and saw the beautiful highlights. Perfect day trip for our family of 4 (teens 19 and 16 even enjoyed the wine tasting). PS - Jehann’s driving skills were incredible - there were many times when we encountered huge tour buses and she navigated us around with ease. So glad to have had a driver instead of trying to do this ourselves haha!

Best day ever, throughly enjoyed it all. - We had the best day it was full of new experiences. I booked this tour because l wanted to go to Pont du Gard but it was so much more. We started by visiting Les Baux de Provence which was magical then we went to Pont du Gard which was beautiful then Pope’s Palace in Avignon. The remains of a castle then wine tasting. Our tour guide& driver was Laurent and he was amazing, nothing was a problem, very professional and kind.

Awesome tour! - Pelayo was a great tour guide and was very informed and able to answer all of our questions! He made our tour a very pleasant experience and we loved being able to be with the group but then also have our time to separate and explore on our own. Would highly recommend using A La Francais and thanks to Pelayo for making our experience so awesome!

History of Provence - Great historical perspective on Provence. Morgan was excellent driver and gave good basic briefings upon arrival at each site, but guests self-explore and could benefit from more specific guidance at each site.

Avignon - We liked our tour but would have enjoyed more time in Avignon! There was not enough time for lunch and touring Popes Palace. Our guide, Donoto, was nice but pretty hard to understand and the speakers in back of van were horrible so some of my family couldn’t really hear him. Was a bit disappointed in Avignon as it was very crowded and that was a surprise to me. Overall, nice tour but maybe cut one place out so more time can be at each? Thanks.
