Loved our day with Veronica! - We had the best day with Veronica! She has so much enthusiasm for everything she shared with us. She knows the area so well and she knows so much about Van Gogh and Pont De Gard. She provided detailed maps for us when we explored Les Baux and Arles on our own. She also spent time getting to know everyone on the tour. She’s been our favorite tour guide by far in our 6 week trip in France. You will not be disappointed!

YellowcTour is Golden - Many thanks to Veronica, our driver and guide for a wonderful Yellow tour. The authentic beauty and diversity of this historic region is unparalleled. Seeing the fog lift as we approached Saint Remy was magical! The day was very full but the four stops were perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and enjoyed the mix of free time and guided commentary.

Relaxing and Interesting way to visit Provence - We had a wonderful first day in Provence made all the more memorable by the charming Nicolas. He took us to some beautiful sights and explained the history of the area. We were dropped off at very convenient locations and given clear and helpful information about where to go and what to see. We also took a second tour with Nico on our fourth and last day in Avignon, which was equally as good as the first. Highly recommend ProVans and hope to return in June to take the lavendar tour.

Fantastic Day with Nicolas - Nicolas was an excellent guide. He was friendly and informative, and gave us just the right amount of information about the four areas we visited (We did the Yellow Tour). My wife and I loved each place we saw (Hospital where Van Gogh stayed, Le Baux, Arles, and the Pont du Gard). I can’t imagine why anyone would give this outfit anything but five stars. Thank you!

A relaxing day seeing the highlights of Provence - The tour was excellent. Nicolas provided great information and made getting around the sights a breeze. This was an excellent stress fee way to see the highlights of Provence in a day. The Van Gogh sites were really interesting and Arles was one of the most beautiful places I have been. Nicolas answered everyone’s questions and also provided us some great tips for places to eat lunch. Highly recommend this as a way to see Provence

Fabulous day trip from Avignon! Highly, highly recommended!! - This was me and my husband’s first time to Avignon. We decided against renting a car. Best decision. Veronica was the most courteous, kind and knowledgeable tour guide we could have asked for. We saw Saint Remy de Provence; including the mental hospital where Van Gogh painted many of his most famous works, as well as some Roman ruins nearby; the cliff side village of Chateaus de Baux-de-Provence ; the more bustling Arles, which had a lively street market the day we were there. At Arles, be sure and see the coliseum. Lastly. we stopped at the Pont du Gard. I highly recommend this tour, especially if this is your first trip to the area. As I said, Veronica was the best!
