Full day tour of the Camargue
This full day tour to the Camargue was an experience we will never forget! It was amazing and included a boat trip up the Petit Rhone and time in Saint Maries sur la mer to swim in the Med or explore the little town. The sights of this area included flamingoes, bulls and the white horses of course. Our guide Emile was superb. Highly recommend this trip and this company.

Enjoyable and Informative Day Trip!
Joanna was a terrific guide - knowledgeable, personable and informative. The visit to the salt ponds was fascinating as was the time spent in Aigues-Morts and Arles.

<p>Though this particular tour cancelled, I was given a similar tour that did not include Wife Mort. The tour I did taken was fabulous! I saw the actual rice fields I had seen on TV when I was18, ducks, flamingos and other water foul. Also the black dulls and white Camargian horses. Our visit to St Marie's de la Mer was interesting and educational. A good vacation day out in the country!</p>

<p>A little bit rush but worth to join the tour. We saw the white horses, the bulls but not the Flamingoes not in summer season. Nice and friendly driver/ guide. Recommended if you have only limited time but want to see much more outside the Avignon region.</p>

Probably not people's first choice...
<p>Probably not people's first choice for a tour from Avignon, but if you have the time, I highly recommend this fun day away from the crowds. See the amazing salt ponds and learn how they retrieve and process the salt for various culinary and industrial purposes. Then on to two small villages--the quaint medieval town of Aigues-Mortes and the seaside town of Saintes-Maries-De-La-Mer. It was delightful to have just three of us on the tour and our guide Amelie was wonderful. Arles was the last stop and a tease, because we could have used so much more time there, but it was a great way to glimpse some of its highlights before returning for a full day. I was prepared, but didn't need, repellent for mosquitos in the Camargue, and was unprepared for the pleasant visit with the while horses of the area. All in all, a really nice day.</p>

<p>Ride through the salt marshes wasn't good, but the rest of the tour was good. I would rather have more time in Aigues-Mortes to walk around the walls and more time in Arles to see the town.</p>
