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.

Great way to see the area for first-time visitors to Provence - We enjoyed the overview of Provence for our first-time visit to the area, as well as the small group experience which was well worth the extra cost. Our driver and tour guide, Bridget, took good care of us. Highly recommend for first time visitors to Provence. We stopped at many villages (including lunch stop at Roussillon) and had a quick walking tour of Saint Remy. A highlight was UNESCO world heritage site Pont du Gard (1st Century Roman aqueduct), which is a must-see. One note of caution: Those who suffer from motion sickness should prepare accordingly for the day on the road.

Provence Tour - This was an excellent way to spend a day in Avignon. Emmanuel was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed his commentary. The trip took us to three hilltop villages in the morning and then we had to go back to Avignon to drop off one group and pick up another group that had scheduled the afternoon tour. This took time that I wish we had spent going on to the next part of our trip. The afternoon was enjoyable with a trip to beautiful St Remy and then to the Pont du Gard, which was the highlight of the trip for us. We could spend a day there and an hour was too short. Also it was the last stop of a long day. But it was wonderful to see. All in all, a great way to spend a day and see things you would not be able to see without a car.

Great Avignon visit - Our guide, Lucille was wonderful in every way. She was knowledgeable and made a special effort to help me as I have trouble walking as fast as the rest of the group. I cannot say enough to complement her.

Day well spent in discovering Provence - This tour offers experience of different parts of Provence, mainly in Luberon. Opportunity to see some nice little towns, Roman monument of Pont du Gard and some nature gems. Itinerary is well designed- packed, but not exhausting. Mini van was comfortable and our guide Florian was very nice and experienced and ready to answer all our questions. This tour is not focused on lavender fields, although we have seen some on our way. The tour started and finished on time, pick-up was according to the plan.

Great day trip of Provence. - This was a great way to see the Provence area around Avignon without a car. Our guide, Joce, was fantastic, very knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. We were a group of seven in a van. We saw four towns and the pont du gard. Also had time to have a leisurely lunch. Great tour.

Wonderful tour - Les Baux, Pont du Gard, etc, etc were wonderful places to see and visit. The weather was a bit rainy, but Viator was not responsible! The only issue we had was that the microphone/speaker was not working, so it was difficult to hear on the back.
