A great tour with Roberto - who was a great guide and kept us informed with all we needed to know. Just the right amount of time in each place and great stops.
Hello Jonathan Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are very pleased that you has a great experience doing this half day Pont du Gard Uzes Nimes tour with our guide. He will be pleased by your kinds words - Best regards - Provence Panorama
This tour was very disappointing, not because of the places we visited but because of the "guide" Robert. Robert acted as a driver not a guide. Shortly after getting into the van the guests had questions for Robert regarding what we were seeing. He said he could not answer the questions as the AC was too loud. And he did not have a voice amplifier, so we received very little information during the long drive. Our first stop was in Nimes across from the arena. Robert gave us our tickets and said he would meet us back there in 1 hour. We only drove by the square house so we did not get to really see it as the tour description says. Our ticket at the arena did include a tour we could listen to with our phones - if you have a phone with data service. The second stop was in the town of Uzes. Robert dropped us just outside the town. He allowed us to take a photo of a small paper map of the town and sent us on our way. We had about 35 minutes in the town - not 1 hour. And without a guide. One of our couples got lost but luckily made it back in time. The last stop was at the Pont-du-Gard. Robert walked us to a map of the area gave us a 5 minute description and instructions. He said he would meet us on the other side of the river. We had about 45 minutes to explore the area. I do not recommend this tour as we were mostly on our own and did not learn about what we were seeing. Before you book a tour like this make sure you will have an experienced, knowledgable, licensed guide.
Hello Thank you for sharing your experience on this shared tour. We are sorry you did not enjoyed Robert . The other members of this shared tour did not let any negative comments. Thank you for your concern - Best regards -
Very interesting tour of historic sites and beautiful landscapes. Super recommend! Not to mention our guide Nico, very friendly, dear and well-humored who knows everything about the history of the places visited. Thank you and congratulations!
Research places visiting. Could have done with the driver taking us around all places and explaining things
This was a disappointing tour. It was more like a transportation service than a guided experience. Our driver merely took us between spots with just a bit of commentary in between. Anyone sitting behind the driver could not hear him. When we asked him to speak more loudly, he said the air conditioning prevented him from being heard. This could have easily been addressed with a small microphone. Overall, he did not seem to be a trained tour guide, and showed little interest in being one. We conferred with the others in our van who felt the same way.
Some patience is needed due to high traffic in Nimes! Our guide Celine was a great driver and navigated the roads well!
Hello Thank you for sharing your experience of this tour with us. Despite the traffic in the town of Nimes, we are happy to know that you enoyed the tour with Celine ! Best regards Provence Panorama
Nico is a very informative, friendly and entertaining guide. It was great that he starts this tour early to avoid crowds. Arriving just before 9am on a Saturday morning we had the Pont du Gard to ourselves. Everywhere was beautiful to see, but for me personally Pont du Gard was the stand out. I would always like the trip to be longer, as there is always so much to see, but that is the same for most trips.
Friendly, informative and fascinating. Great guide Tiery who really knew his history. Made it possible to see a lot in a short space of time.
Would recommend for people who don't have much time and need to hit multiple spots in one day. Pont du Gard is a bit out of the way so this is the main reason we joined this tour.
Great day exploring these cities. Never enough time but was a great overview. Hubert was full of history and knowledge!
