Avignon Highlights - Our guide Silvia was great. She provided a running commentary about the places we were passing and the towns that we visited, along with the histories of each. The van was clean and comfortable. We could hear our guide because she had a microphone. Of course it would’ve been nice to spend more time in each town, but it wasn’t possible on this tour. Silvia also provided restaurant suggestions in Avignon when our tour was over. Highly recommend this tour with Silvia.

Discover Provence without Driving - See all the top destinations in the area without having to drive. I could not believe France contains so many diverse places in such a small area. It’s a trip I’ll remember forever.
Minimal walking required & plenty of spots for food & toilets. Our guide was very welcoming & knowledgeable. Amazing value!

Best day in Provence! - Oliver was our amazing guide for this beautiful day. He was animated and informative. Our tour was in English, and there were only 5 of us total in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Oliver personalized the tour, he was easy to understand, and you could really tell how much he loved Avignon, Provence, and all of our sights, especially the aquaduct.
We had a wonderful time with Oliver on 29/8/24.
The booking provided clear and easy meeting point instructions and everything ran smoothly.

A beautiful and full day to learn about Provence. - Emile, our tour guide was friendly, very knowledgeable, punctual, and a great driver. His personal stories gave us a wonderful idea of how living in Provence looks like. Overall, a lovely day where we saw lots of this beautiful region, without the hassle of driving through hilltop towns. Highly recommend this day tour.

5 stars for our guide (Flo), 4 stars for the structure of the tour - Covered a lot of Provence in a day. Our guide Flo was full of energy and provided good explanations throughout the day. Tour appears to be in 2 parts. We visited a few villages in the morning then came back to Avignon to pick up some people for the half day afternoon tour. Would have had less travel time if this was exclusively a full day tour.

An average intro to Provençal villages - We visited Roussillon, Gordes (viewpoint only), and Fontaine de Vacluse in the first half of the day. The second half of the day we stopped briefly at St Remy de Provence, then visited Les Baux and Pont du Gard. Unfortunately, significant time was wasted having to return to Avignon after lunch to pick up 2 passengers who had only signed up for the afternoon and likewise drop off 2 passengers who’d only signed up for the morning half. This seemed very unfair to people who’d signed up and paid to do the full day and having time wasted in this way. We would have preferred to continue to St Remy de Provence and have some free time there - as it stood, we were walked through it by the guide Oliver for maybe 15-20 mins and given a little bit of pointless information to be quite frank. This was a missed opportunity and very frustrating. It was particularly more so given that the lunch stop had been in Fountaine de Vacluse where the season is effectively over and the village is minuscule, you don’t need 75 minutes here - it was a complete mismanagement of time, particularly when we didn’t get to actually visit Gordes itself, only the viewpoint. Similar time wise with Roussillon - pretty but you don’t need to spend one hour there. Overall, this was an average tour which could have been so much better and didn’t need to be as long in certain places.

Wasn't what I expected - The driver was a 10. The issues were
1. Vehicle was mini van style for 8 passenger, 2 in front 3 in middle, 3 in rear. This is too close to sit with strangers. The vehicle sb mini bus design with 2 seats an isle and 2 seats.
2. Our group had 5, at the half way point of the 10 hour tour you called the driver back to the original meet up place to pick up 3 more people.
Rather than cram 8 people into this design of a vehicle we disembarked and didn't receive the tour we were expecting from viator.
We used viator just a few months previous in New York and the vehicle was designed as mini bus and was very comfortable.
