Should be experienced - Emile was wonderfully knowledgeable and brought the experience to life. His knowledge of the Roman ruins was especially impressive. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Lively guide, fascinating destinations - We had a really informative and friendly guide who answered all of our questions and remained flexible throughout the trip. Since the parking situation in Arles was pretty bad, he improvised and found a way to give us more time in Arles instead of wasting time trying to find parking. You'll be in good hands on this trip, and you'll learn a lot of fascinating information about Van Gogh and the surrounding region.

Wonderful walk in Van Gogh’s footsteps - We were able to book this last minute and it was very much worth it! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on Van Gogh and local history! His passion for Van Gogh really helped set you in his shoes as you walk in his steps. Theres so much to learn and see so take the opportunity to view through this tour!

Last minute perfection - I booked last minute as I wasn’t sure if I’d be in Avignon all day . I have lived in France on and off for the last 30 years . Jeremy made the history of Van Gogh come alive and his stories as well as his knowledge of the area were fascinating. We saw a weeks worth of sites in a day ! My highest recommendation.

The footsteps of Van Gogh was top notch - I learned a lot, both about Arles (who knew there was bullfighting?) and about Van Gogh. And visiting the psychiatric hospital in St. Remy proved much more interesting than I expected.

Van Gogh and where he lived his life. - Remy was super. Knowledgable of Van Gogh and of the history and sights in the several areas we visited. Always wanting to answer questions and point out what could be easily missed. More than just a tour about Van Gogh but a tour of where he lived and worked. Excellent.

One highlight but otherwise disappointing - The psychiatric hospital at St. Remy de Provence was a memorable experience seeing the actual settings for Van Gogh’s paintings, very worthwhile.
However, the Arles tour was very disappointing. Other than walking through a few streets which we could have done ourselves, the tour offered little to remember.
Then a hurried trip back to Avignon.
Not impressed overall.
