It was amazing!! The guide is super friendly and really easy to talk to, especially given I was on my own. We saw some beautiful places and he had many local recommendations as well. Seeing the places Vincent Van Gogh used to go was really amazing too! I would 100% recommend this tour! 😄

Full description

Embark on a journey through the heart of Provence with our exclusive tour, capturing the essence of this gorgeous region through its historic and cultural landmarks.

Begin your adventure in Avignon, known as the City of the Popes. Explore the majestic Palais des Papes, one of the largest and most important medieval gothic buildings in Europe. Stroll across the iconic Pont d’Avignon, famously immortalized in song, and enjoy the stunning views of the Rhône river.

Our journey continues to Saint-Rémy, a village that perfectly embodies the charm of Provence. Stroll through its picturesque streets and visit St Paul de Mausole, the former monastery where Van Gogh was interned at his own request and created some of his most famous works. We'll also pass by the nearby ancient ruins of Glanum, offering a glimpse into the region's rich roman past.

Next, head to the medieval village of Les Baux-de-Provence, perched atop a rocky outcrop. Explore its narrow, winding streets, historic buildings, and the formidable Château des Baux, which provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The village’s unique charm and dramatic setting make it a perfect conclusion to your provencal adventure.

The final stop is Arles, for a panoramic tour of this charming city, rich in roman history and artistic heritage. We'll pass by the impressive roman amphitheater, where gladiators once fought, and the ancient theater. Arles is also home to the Café Van Gogh, inspired by the famous painting "Café Terrace at Night," and the nearby cultural center, the former hospital where Van Gogh stayed. This is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the painter's life and work during his time in the provençal city.

Join us for an unforgettable tour that combines cultural heritage, historical insights, and the stunning landscapes of Provence. This comprehensive journey through Avignon, Arles, St Rémy de Provence, and Les Baux-de-Provence will leave you with lasting memories of the region’s beauty and history.

Beyond Excellence! Gilles is our guide/driver for this day trip. He is punctual on-time and detailed. He speaks good English. While he is guiding us to all places, I can feel that he is also enjoying the visits. His recommendation for local Provence restaurant at St Remy (Le chapeau de paille), and well had the best food I have had since I arrived at Nice and Marseille (10-days). The lady is super kind too and speaks good English. I have joined many day trips with Get-the-Guide since last year traveling around the whole Italy and this time at Nice. Never have had any guide/driver who is treating you like his own friend. Thank you, Gilles. BTW, we covered all must-see places at Avignon, St Remy, Arles plus extra at Les Baux at no rush.
