Highly Recommend this tour
It is a great full day experience with Arnaud. The lunch he provided from his family farm and local producers was wonderful. Arnaud provides thorough history and interesting facts during the tour. He is friendly and welcoming. Thank you Arnaud.

October trip!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the entire region. He was very friendly and even provided a wonderful picnic lunch with farm fresh cheeses, juice and spreads. I would use this company for future tours of the region.

Information Packed Day!
This tour was a great way to learn quite about the Roman (and more recent) history of the area and see the sites in one full day. I was susprised how much ground we were able to cover. Our guide Arnaud shared his deep knowledge of the subject and organized the itinerary very well. One of the nice treats was a small picnic lunch during the day that featured hardboiled eggs from his family farm, some local goat cheese, bread, and tapenade, and some local grape juice as well as grapes from the family farm. We though the lunch was very tasty ans suited us, though I can see where some folks from the United States might be used to a more substantial lunch, so if you tend to get hungry you might want to bring some snacks. But it was perfect for us. The van we rode in was new and very comfortable (and the AC worked well in the heat). Highly recommended!

A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange cost?
+
Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.
Is A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A day at the Pont du Gard, Nîmes and Orange start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Avignon?
+
On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Avignon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Avignon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
