Villages tour from Avignon
Florine L was an excellent guide. She had a lot of knowledge about each of the villages we visited and important sites along the way the way. We would definitely do other tours with Provence Excursions. A bonus was being picked up right at our hotel. One of the best tours of the trip!
Response from the operator: That’s a real pleasure to read you ! Merci beaucoup ! Wish you a great time and hope to see you again in Provence 😉 Warmest, Florine Provence Excursions 🌻

Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup, Bonne journée 😊

Out and about in Provence
Very short time in Saint-Remy. More would be better to have a look around. I am not keen on churches and I felt visiting the church was a waste of time. It is a problem with group tours! I would have liked to see the hospital where Van Gogh was for a time. The tour could have included this and would have been a little bit longer. The Roman remains nearby were not very interesting. Time in the hospital or more time in St Remy would have been preferable. Les Baux was amazing and it was great that Florine stopped at an excellent vantage point for photos. Only just enough time to get a sandwich and have a quick look round. Overall a nit rushed. The point du Gard was good and about the right amount of time there.
Response from the operator: Hello Kathryn , thank for your review, This tour include at least 1 hour in each village, regarding the church of Saint Remy (not visitable because under restoration) It seems to me that we stood about 5 or 6 minutes inside the church, which doesn't seem like a lot to me. Moreover, it marks the entrance to the village of St Rémy and is part of the culture, so it seems relevant to take a look, if only to admire the organ that is there. Sorry that it seemed useless to you. Regarding the Saint Paul hospital, if you refer to the tour program, it is not indicated to visit it but to pass by. It has happened to me, according to the wishes of my clients, to let them visit Vincent Van Gogh's room if the rest of the group allows it. I am very flexible and attentive about this, you just need to tell me. ... Kind regards, Florine

Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard cost?
+
Prices start at $96 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 Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the 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 Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the 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 Villages of Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence & the Pont du Gard?
