Great tour, friendly...
Great tour, friendly guide and beautiful locations. Would recommend the full day tour if you have the time!
via Viator
Highly recommended
A wonderful experience with Eric who brought local knowledge, historical background and good humour. We very much enjoyed this tour and recommend it as a good way to see the key Nimes and Pont du Gard sights. We had not previously known about Uzes which turned out to be a lovely surprise by itself, being market day made it an even more interesting experience for us. Great job Eric, thank you.

Gordana is the best tour guide
The whole tour was extremely well organised and Gordana was the most informative tour guide you could. Wanted to book another tour in 2 days, but she's fully booked for then. RECOMMEND!

Roman ruins and more!
Great trip in a small group (6 of us total). Guide was well versed in history and facts of the area and sites. Glad to have air conditioning as it was a very hot day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your 5star review. We are glad to hear that you liked our The story of Pont du Gard tour. Hope to see you again!

The story of Pont du Gard: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does The story of Pont du Gard cost?
+
Prices start at $103 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 The story of Pont du Gard take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 The story of Pont du Gard worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 54 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 The story of Pont du Gard?
+
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 The story of Pont du Gard suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The story of Pont du Gard?
+
Around 19 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The story of Pont du Gard 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.
What is included in The story of Pont du Gard?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The story of Pont du Gard?
+
In front of the tourist office Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The story of Pont du Gard offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The story of Pont du Gard?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is The story of Pont du Gard wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
