Great day out in the Camargue - I would certainly recommend Provans. Nicholas is a delight: lots of knowledge, well-shared, excellent English, a good driver. This was a repeat visit with him to the Camargue. Our visit coincided with a 'bridge' (long weekend) so it was much busier than on a previous day tour in March two years ago.
This is not a guided nature tour - we didn't need that extra help - though is works well if you can look after that for yourself. Ideal for us: we were based in Avignon without a car.

It was a great experience! - This tour was a great way to check out the Camargue area. Plenty of time was given us to explore the three different stops: Parc ornithologique, Aigues Mortes, Stes Maries. The small group (we were three couples) allowed Nicolas, our guide, to answer all our individual questions. He was a wonderful purveyor of information throughout our drive down and back. Highly recommended!!!!

The easy and fun way to see the Camargue - This tour is well organized. You go to three places - the birds sanctuary (pink flamingos), Santa Marie’s de la mer (Mediterranean- sea food, Van Gogh sites, Church with the relics - patron saint of the gypsies) , Aigues Mortes to see the salt pans and a nice village. They allow a fair amount of time with a map and verbal direction on what to look for, where to eat, etc. This is nice because one can explore on one’s likes. The owner and guide Nicholas, is very knowledgeable and a pleasant communicator. A highly recommended company to check out.

Nice tour and well organized - The tour was individual and very well organized. On the way to Avignion we were able to easily find a conveniently located free parking lot and were picked up there. Thanks to Veronica for the wealth of information and the very nice atmosphere during the trip and at the individual stops on the tour. There was always enough time to look at everything and observe the animals. The group size is perfect.
Language En, Fr, D no problem.

Flamingos in the Camargue - This was the best day in 3 weeks in Europe. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. She managed to stop by wild horses first, the had time for a long walk through the bird refuge. There were so many beautiful birds, especially flamingos. We visited 2 small historic towns and had a day to remember.

Camargue Day trip from Avignon - I had the most wonderful time. Veronica is a very nice charming and friendly person, very easy to get along and who is very knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of information about the places we visited and everything we saw. The Camargue is a beautiful region, worth visiting.
I definitely recommend Provans Tours with Veronica.

Enjoyable day out - We really enjoyed our trip with Provans. Nicolas was really friendly and helpful. We visited the bird park and saw many flamingos and other birds. We had plenty of time in Sainte Marie de la Mer, fitted in lunch and a swim. Would definitely recommend Provans.

Flamingos and Mosquito spray - This is a great day trip. I would recommend. The highlight for us was seeing the Flamingos. You will need Mosquito spray. Our guide forgot to mention this. My wife had to turn back early and wait for the rest of us back by the parking area. We all pressed on, just kept moving and I only got bit once. Later when the guide picked us back up in the van, he asked her how she enjoyed it. She told him about all the mosquitos. That is when he told her he had spray, little too late.
