Beauty everywhere - Scenic views of the blue water were abundant. Variation of locations provided a thorough capsule of the area. The 8 person van is an optimal size group. Guide knowledgeable of the area and the history of the region. Although it was a long day, the overview of the area was a worthwhile day trip.

Great tour and a great way to see the area - The tour is a great way to see a number of the highlights of Provence in a day whist enjoying the ride with a knowledgeable guide. It was great to get to Les Baux before most of the tourists did as it is very scenic- we just had enough time to go around le Château but we did have to walk fast! Pont du Gard was probably the highlight, an amazing structure to still be standing from Roman times.

Magnificent! - Jen was a spectacular guide with knowledge of every where we stopped as well as the journey to get there. We could have spent more time in both Les Baux and Avignon but we got a taste of both places and will be back. The wine tasting ending our day in Provence was awesome. We highly recommend this tour!

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.

Minibus taxi around Provence - Not so much of a guided tour as a minibus ride (8 people of various nationalities) to several locations where you’re left to look around on your own. Suited us, but quite expensive at €133 each. Visit to a Chateauneuf du Pape winery for tasting was a disappointment, and not a great advert for one of the world’s best wine regions.

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.
