アヴィニョンからのプロヴァンスの一日ツアー

We had an excellent day, Thierry is a well of knowledge, he accompanied us with stories for each village, the Pont du Gard... He took the time to talk and answered our questions. An extra day, thank you Thierry!

Our tour itself with Jean-Philippe was excellent! He spoke fluent English, made sure everyone in our large group was comfortable, and helped us see everything we wanted to visit in Les Baux-de-Provence and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The van was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and we greatly enjoyed our time with him. Unfortunately, the issues we experienced were related to the booking and management rather than our guide. We were not informed in advance that, because it was a private van, it could not meet us directly outside the cruise ship. Instead, our group was expected to walk more than half a mile to the pickup location in extreme heat. This was very difficult for several members of our group and caused a significant delay at the beginning of our day. We ultimately had to find a taxi to transport some members of the group to the van. We were also told that the tour price included all entry tickets, but the credit card provided to our driver for those expenses did not work. Jean-Philippe did a wonderful job and we would highly recommend him as a guide. However, Provence Panorama should communicate the cruise-port pickup arrangements much more clearly in advance and ensure that the payment method provided for included expenses is working properly.

This allowed us to have a quick, guided view of many highlights of Provence. Means though that you don’t have a lot of time at all of them. Salina was an excellent guide - we learned a lot.

We loved the tour; it is highly recommended for seeing beautiful little towns in Provence in a day if there is no time or mobility to explore it another way. The schedule was followed, and the time at each stop was adequate. Our guide, Nicolas, was very kind, friendly, and undoubtedly contributed to making the tour more enjoyable. We recommend the experience 100%.

Frederico was absolutely perfect! He was knowledgeable, funny, and was genuinely fun to be around all day. I cannot say enough good things about his service and tour! The little towns throughout the area are all different and interesting. We especially appreciated the Spring, Le Beaux, and Pont du Gard. Extra special thanks to the tour company who honored our reservation during an especially low time of the season when other tour companies were canceling on us. I genuinely appreciated the tour company keeping their word!

This tour took us to some beautiful and picturesque places, which were high on our bucket list. Unfortunately we were in the back seat of the minivan and could not hear a word of the commentary. At our first stop, we advised Hubert, our driver/guide that we couldn’t hear him , which he acknowledged that he knew. I asked if he had a microphone so we could hear. No he didn’t. And that was that. He didn’t speak any louder so we could hear and so we were just sight seeing with no commentary on where we were, what we were looking at or any history that went with each place, until we got to the last stop at Pont du Gard. At every stop, we were given a time to return. Hubert didn’t give us a walking tour and so we still weren’t given any information on the places we saw. Hubert was a nice man, helping us out of the van and taking some photos for us at Roussillon. Overall this was a hugely disappointing experience and tour, as this was one of the tours we were looking forward to most on our journey around France. Possibly with a different guide, the experience would have been amazing.

A wonderful way to see several of the best villages and sights of Provence around Avignon. Nickola was an excellent guide. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable,clear and fun.

Nice way to visit several smaller villages in Provence as well as a couple of UN Heritage sites. There were 8 people in our van.

By taking the tour my husband and myself, and two other couples, saved ourselves a lot of sweat of figuring out logistics to see 6 top Provence attractions in the vicinity of Avignon. Just driving itself would be nerve-wracking. Instead we were VIP delivered right to the centres of hilltop villages, picturesque towns and Pont du Gard. Yes, we had to be disciplined and respectful of time. Frederic was our delightful and extremely knowledgeable guide. He used the time on the road to comment on the upcoming attraction, to answer our questions and to give us practical advice. He had maps for us and loads of interesting insights. We got great value for the price and treasured memories.

Brigitte was an excellent hostess. From 8.30 am until 7 pm, she took us on an introductory tour of Provence. While driving, she also explained to us the history and way of life in Provence, in both fluent English and French. No mean feat ! She also tailored the excursion to our interests and needs ( we were seven in the group). When we booked, we thought the tour rather expensive, but now we would say it was money well spent, as it would have been impossible to pack in everywhere we went, especially using public transport. To Brigitte we would like to say a big,"merci".
