  There is a great deal packed into this tour!
  Pisa was astounding and we had enough time to wander around for the obligatory photos.
  The other stops were too rushed, there was so much to see and explore and we only had time for a cursory glance!

  Best to consider this a fact finder with a need for a

  I would fully recommend this tour to anyone thinking about taking it. My sister and I enjoyed learning about the area from our very knowledgeable,enthusiastic,and friendly guide Nicolas. The day was spent with laughter and fun. If I had to I couldnt pick a favorite stop. Each place had its own special charm.

  Guide was knowledgeable, helpful etc. Experiences were high quality. WIne-tasting was early in morning but would be better later in day. The mini-bus was too small for 8 passengers all day long. My recommendation is - do not book this tour if the bus is going to be full.

  This tour gave me a great feel for the Provence. It was a perfect small group and although we didn't all know each other, we had a great time together. The driver and tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and all it has to offer. It was a day I'll never forget and it enticed me to rent a car the following day to spend some more time in some of the neighboring small villages.

  Excellent tour - a long day but not too much walking. The stops offered a variety of historical periods and geographical differences. Melanie was a great guide her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area. There was sufficient time at each stop for taking photos and doing a bit of shopping. There isnt much time to enjoy a restaurant meal, so take some snacks along or grab some takeout food enroute.

  We loved this tour. Our guide drove us to so many places that we would never have known about, and places that we wanted to see but never would have found if we had tried to drive ourselves. This was our first tour. It was such a good experience that we have signed up for several more tours in Spain

  This tour was well worth the time and expense. Our guide, Remy was both knowledgeable and delightful. Pont du Gard and the hill towns would have been hard to get to by public transportation. Even if you have a rental car, knowing the proper turnoffs would have been challenging if you are not familiar with the areas.

  Excellent all day overview of Provence. Our guide, Anna, was very personable and knowledgeable. We saw many areas of Provence that we would have been unable to get to if not for the tour. My only complaint is that we spent too short a time at some sites and a lot of time with travel in the car. We would have liked more time at Pont du Gard and would personally have preferred to skip Les Baux, which is strictly touristic though very scenic. Would highly recommend for an overview tour though.

  What a fabulous day! Caroline was an excellent guide and shared a lot of information with us during this busy day. There were quite a few stops and, with the exception of Pont du Gard, we had enough time to see everything. I could have used 15 more minutes at Pont du Gard, but did have time to climb to the top of the overlook for an amazing view. This was a great way to get a good feel for the variety in Provence in just one day.

  We had a great time on this tour! As everyone else mentions, its a long day with a lot of stops, but they are all quite beautiful. Our one complaint was that we wish there was more time at Pont du Gard, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to take this tour. We would have gladly left out one or two of the small villages that we visited off of the itinerary in order to be able to go on a guided tour of Pont du Gard and/or go to the Pont du Gard museum. We did however get enough time at the amphitheater in Orange, which was great because that was quite amazing as well.
