- seema600 contributionsExcellent guided tour of Provence villagesWe enjoyed our group tour of Provence and surrounding villages. The guide was very good. We had time to enjoy all the different aspects of Provençal life.Written 19 November 2024
- michele36530 contributionsProvence tourGreat tour. The van was comfortable and the ride was smooth. We saw some awesome sites during the ride and got to explore others on our own. Our driver, David, was informative, patient, polite, accommodating, and fun. We would highly recommend this trip (and David) for a relaxing and interactive visit to this beautiful area of France.Written 3 November 2024
- ncwnc0 contributionsChâteauneuf du Pape wine tour.Our guide, David, was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and taught us details about the grape varieties, how they are grown in the region, and the influence on the resulting wines produced. We had three stops plus lunch at a fourth. Plenty of time to sample wines and buy if desired. Highly recommend!Written 27 October 2024
- Gralib0 contributionsFull day small group wine tour from AvignonThoroughly enjoyed our tour with David! Learnt so much about wine of the regions and enjoyed a tasty lunch with great company. Very comfortable transport and great selection of wineries. Will look for more tours from this provider on our next visit to Avignon. 😊Written 27 October 2024

- wer4travel0 contributionsGreat taxi service. Definitely not a guided tour.We enjoyed visiting the 5 or so cities the tour highlighted. There was a variety to see of the Provence area. Our issue was the driver was also the tour guide and no listening devices were offered. At least 80% of the information and details of the area that was provided was given as she was driving and facing forward. We were in a 3 row passenger van. The first row heard most of what she said, the second row heard some and the third heard absolutely nothing. We were dropped off in all but two of the stops and left to navigate/tour on our own. I honestly can’t recommend this tour unless you’re just looking for a taxi service.Written 2 October 2024
- Blair F0 contributionsWonderful day.We really enjoyed and recommend this all day tour. Brigitte was a great guide. We were able to do walking on our own at each site which we enjoyed. Thanks for a wonderful day.Written 29 September 2024
- P5542KWandreaz0 contributionsPerfect day - perfect guideAmazing day - couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Towns visited were excellent and information provided was top notch. Terrific experience highly recommend.Written 29 September 2024
- C5337KEianm0 contributionsGreat sights, poor deliveryProvence was great but sitting at the back of the van I could hear perhaps 20% of what the tour guide said, even after saying I couldn't hear. On a long tour that's hours of frustration, not professional and definitely not value for money.Written 29 September 2024
- Tim R0 contributionsTerrific small group tour of important Provence destinationsWe saw so many places that we could not have seen on our own and although it was a very long day the guide made the driving and the tour very enjoyable.Written 22 September 2024

- cathyrP797ZL0 contributionsA great time exploring quaint and historic villages.We had a fabulous day exploring the stunning villages of Roussillon, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Gourde, St Remi and the Roman Aqueduct. Our guide Brigette was very friendly and knowledgeable. A great time was had by all. Highly recommend.Written 13 September 2024
- Carogemini0 contributionsworth doingThere were 5 people on this tour with guide Bridgitte.Sadly a wet day and Bridgitte very considerate and rearranged the village order to suit the weather. By the time we got to St. Remy it had stopped raining, and ended at the amazing ponte garde. Lunch at Fontaine de Vauclause where it was pouring so an hour in a nice French restaurant ideal. all in all a great day tourWritten 12 September 2024
- StanleyC9570 contributionsOur South of France tourThe tour was very well guided and overall was excellent - the driver/guide (Thierry) gave a very good outline of the history of Avignon, Nîmes and giving us sufficient time explore. There was just the issue on the meeting point pick up miscommunication which caused the tour to be delayed - felt the operator was not very responsive.Written 9 September 2024

My friend and I had an absolute wonderful experience on this tour. The location for the start of the experience was central to the town and easy to find. From there, we departed on about a 45 minute drive to visit two vineries with our friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate guide was David. He was very personable and a great photographer, capturing the Instaworthy images from our trip! We would 100% go again and sign up for the full day!

Nicolas was one of the best tour hosts we’ve ever met. He’s a really nice guy with a very deep and comprehensive knowledge of Provençal wines and the history of vinification. The wines we tasted were exquisite and the bottles were very reasonably priced, while the vineyards themselves were incredible and beautifully placed. Absolutely fantastic experience.

Our guide Thierry was very professional and we learned so much about wine production in the Cotes-du-Rhone region from him.
Driving from Avignon we took a short walk through the stunningly beautiful village of Seguret moving on to a small family run vinery were we experienced the Grenache grapes being sorted, tasting a few which were delicious and had a tour of the vinery itself before some wine tastings, no pressure to buy but couldn’t resist buying a bottle.
Next we took a 30 minute drive up to the vineyard of Chateauneuf Du Pape with its imposing building and countryside of grapes. We had a private wine tastings experience of three of their great wines, here we brought a bottle of their Domaine de Tout Vente, made with 100% Grenache grapes. There were many bottles for sale on display, prices starting from around 10 euros.
Such a great tour. We headed back to Avignon with so much more knowledge than when we set off.

The half day vineyard tour from Avignon was so much more than we anticipated. Not only was our host David a great driver, but he was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed a great passion for the region and the wine making process. We learned a great deal and were guided through both a horizontal and vertical tasting. Thank you for a great experience. Highly recommend.

Thierry is a great driver and wonderful host. Our group included guests from 3 different English speaking countries and he did a great job explaining the wine regions as we drove along. His knowledge of the wine making process is excellent. We have been on many of these wine tasting tours and this was the best.

We were grateful for the pickup as we were staying at a hotel just outside of town and with this being a wine tasting tour, neither of us wanted to drive. After our pickup we went into town to collect another 2 couples. A very interesting tour with some good stops showing us what the region had to offer including the renowned Chateau Neuf de Papes region. Along with stops to taste, we also had stops by some lovely vineyards for views and get a real sense of the region. A small group made it very personal. Would recommend this tour.

This wine tour was excellent. Our guide, Nicola, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines of the Cote du Rhone. Although we had been on several wine tours previously, my wife and I both learned a lot from Nicola. Highly recommended.

Attempted to cancel this tour almost two months in advance. Didn’t receive my cancel confirmation immediately so forgot about it and didn’t follow up (my mistake). Lost over $350. Beware, if you need to cancel, follow up, as they may not cancel on your first request.

The organisation was good. David our guide/driver was knowledgeable and interesting. We tasted a range of wines from 2 vineyards and learnt a lot about the wines and grapes in the area. I would unhesitatingly recommend this tour by Provence Panorama. I really enjoyed it (and purchased some wine at reasonable prices). It was not rushed.

David was an excellent guide and has a passion and knowledge about grape cultivation. The first wine testing place he took us was a local small winery where the owner personally led the tasting and wine selection was exceptional. We left the tour with a box of wine we bought from both the local winery and cave, I think it says enough about how much we liked it 😉
