The best day! - We loved this tour! It was an amazing agenda. Our B&B host could not believe that we saw everything in one day. We saw the Roman Amphitheater and Theater in Arles, the village of Les Baux, and the Roman ruins and toured the asylum Van Gogh stayed at in St. Remy. We also had a picnic Arnaud prepared and olive oil tasting, as well as delicious candied fruit tasting.
It was such a fun day, and Arnaud was a great tour guide.
