We met our guide Amar at the Visitors Info Center near the Central train station. He was prompt and friendly from the start. There was only one other couple in our tour and we were in a nice van. Amar was thoroughly knowledgeable about the area and he had a quality hand's free microphone attached to his driver's seat, so that we could hear his excellent commentary all through the day. The itinerary was to see the town of Roussillon, Gorde, Les Baux and Pont du Gard. These places in the Luberon area of Provence are so nice that any tour would be beautiful, but Amar gave us good hints of highlights at the stops and he parked the car in the best location to make it shorter walking and he was in the best location when we returned to the car. The pretty town of Gorde was just to be seen from a good vantage point, so we were pleasantly surprised when he also drove through the tiny town. We had a 45 minute stop at the famous red clay town of Roussillon which is not enough to walk a

Jeremy, our driver, promptly picked us up at noon at the Avignon TI office and gave us on overview of our tour to Pont du Gard, Les Baux, Gordes, and Roussillon. He introduced each stop and gave us plenty of time to explore. I enjoyed all aspects of the tour. The tour was well worth the fee.

Probably saying that this tour was incomplete would be the best choice of words. Honestly, this tour had to be cancelled by the tour provider before it even started. Weather was bad all week, and the forecast for this day was even worse which could make an outdoors tour literary impossible. We only managed to see Pont du Gard before the thunderstorm with heavy rain and lightning started. It was pouring heavily all the way to Les Baux. It was like a waterfall and we couldn't get out of the van at Les Baux. There was no people and it was impossible to see anything. There was literary no visibility. Umbrellas would not help. And I bet everything was closed in the village. We only saw a single man in a raincoat running bare-feet to safety. The forecast was the same for the rest of the day. There was no point to drive to Roussillon. Besides, driving in such conditions was unsafe. Our tour guide was very-very nice and tried to help us. He contacted his tour agency hoping to work out an a

Our guide Amar did a wonderful job leading this small group tour of the part of Provence around Avignon. We stopped at Roussillon, Gordes, Les Baux, and Pont du Gard, with plenty of time to explore. Amar gave us great advice on what to see as we toured the villages and sites so we could make the most of our afternoon. Our visit to Pont du Gard at dusk was especially dramatic as the old bridge was beautifully illuminated. Loved this tour!
