12:30pm Departure PointTour departs from your hotel in Avignon or surroundings Return DetailsReturns to original departure point We didn't have many days in Provence and this trip brought us to some great locations (plus the drive was a nice break from walking). The driver was knowledgeable and entertaining too! 2011-10-20 Leigh B , Awesome tour and very knowledgeable guide :) 2011-10-17 Anupam , This trip was wonderful and surpassed my expectations. Virginia was awesome. One would want several hours in each place but since things are so spread out that is impossible in a half day trip. I highly recommend!! There was hotel pick up and drop off, leaving the driving to Virginia in a nice van and air conditioned. 2011-06-21 FRANK J , A very well conceived tour which offered an excellent introduction to the Luberon and Alpilles, plus the Pont de Gard. The guide was full of information and together with the small size of the tour made the tour friendly and informal. For content and enjoyment, the tour felt more like a whole than half a day. 2011-06-07 Linda T , A truly excellent trip ... Well organised, varied and thoroughly enjoyable ... The perfect way to capture the essence of Provence in an afternoon! 2011-05-06 Lorna W , Wonderful trip. Our guide was so friendly and informative and we had a lovely time. Definitely recommend this tour to others and particularly with this tour company. 2011-04-18 Natalie G , This was an excellent tour from start to finish, with only 7 of us on this small group tour. Rousillion, Gordes and Les Baux were all charming old villages and the Pont du Gard was spectacular. We had enough time in each village to take photos and buy an icecream. We were able to walk over the Pont du Gard in the late evening withouth any crowds. The guide was very professional and made the day fun. I highly recommend this tour. 2010-09-30 Helen L , Australia excellent guide and saw a lot on the tour - one of the highlights of our time away 2010-07-21 Jennifer S, Australia excellent guide and saw a lot on the tour - one of the highlights of our time away 2010-07-21 Jennifer S , Australia Our Half-Day trip around Provence exceeded expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and explained things clearly. She gave us plenty of time to visit the places on the route. The three towns and the Pont-du Gard were all quite different and all very interesting as well as beautiful to look at. A well planned and most enjoyable tour! and a great tour guide! 2010-06-10 , Canada
