Overview
Your voyage through ancient Provence begins by meeting your knowledgeable guide and sit back for the short ride to Nîmes, where your tour kicks off. Along the way, learn a bit about the city’s Roman roots, so well preserved that Nîmes is considered one of Europe’s most important historic cities.
In Nîmes, immerse yourself in story as your guide explains the city’s main monuments, some of the most impressive in France. See Maison Carrée, a remarkably preserved temple built to honor the Emperor. Visit the Arènes de Nîmes (Nîmes Arena), a formidable Roman amphitheater built in the 1st century.
Your tour will then take you to the nearby Pont du Gard, a UNESCO-listed aqueduct on the Gardon River. Considered an ancient work of art, this three-tiered construction is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts.
To conclude, you will visit one of the best-preserved theatres from the Roman time - the Roman Theatre of Orange
Your fun and educational tour will end in Avignon.

Outstanding tour

This was an outstanding tour, the Roman coliseum and temple in Nimes were in outstanding shape. In the PM we went to the Pont du Gard and the Roman theater in Orange, both were really excellent. The outstanding guide Jerem did all the driving and the explanations of the sites, a big job. The only drawback was the lunch period at Uzes'. There were other tourbus patrons there and we all had an hour to eat lunch. There were not many servers at each place and one had to use the cafe's restroom. There were public toilets but they were scattered far apart and the one we went to was closed. We had only enough time to eat our bagged lunch as a result. This was not even high season!
