Arles, Les Baux & Saint-Remy de Provence from Aix

Les Baux was beautiful and hAd a wonderful lunch on a terrace overlooking valley and mountains. Big disappointment was we did not go to Arles first as was promoted to experience the best market in Provence. Also light on the history of where we were going.

Les Baux & Carrier's de luminaries was a favorite. Young woman was very personable, just not as interactive or informative as we would have hoped.

On this trip there were 3 stops of between 1.5 and 2 hours each where we were given a map and left to explore on our own . The highlight of this trip for me was the Arena at Arles - it took my breath away . The 2 hour time allocation gave plenty of time to explore Arles and its roman architecture. Our guide Ludo and trainee Geoff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Les Baux is beautiful with exceptional scenery and a mecca for local produce . The market at St Remy was busy but the town center is well worth exploring. We really enjoyed the trip and is ideal for independent travelers like us who are happy to follow a map . It is not a fully guided tour

We loved this tour! Nelly was a great guide, responsive to the group and fun. We really liked the format of the tour - in a van with guide commentary and then on our own in the various locations.

We bookend this tour mainly because of our interest in van Gogh. Great was out disappointment upon arriving at the Musée Estrine Présence Van Gogh in St Remy just to discover that the musée only opened at 14:00 and we would therefore not be able to visit. The guide didnt know about the times, surely they should be informed as to opening times of the sites. Her response was a mere, Im so sorry Well, not good enough. The second dissappointment was the fact that the Monastery Saint-Paul de Mausole as well as the archeological site were also both closed and the guide yet again unaware of the fact... The reason was that the 1 November is a public holiday in France and nor Viator not the Travel Company informed us about the fact that these sites were going to be closed. The next stop was Les Baux de Provence, which was a hightlight. The light show, Carrièrs de Lumièrs, was a breathtaking experience! At the last stop at Arles, we decided not to join the group and walked the route of Van Gogh and view some of the sites which he painted. Little info was given by the guide about Van Gogh which is a pitty. All in all not worth the amount of money one pays for this tour, seeing that none of the entrance fees are included.

Tour Guide didn't give us any introduction that is related to Van Gogh, therefore, we had missed Saint-Paul Hospital in St. Remy. The whole trip was very little in relevant to Van Gogh. I don't recommend this tour.

A one of a kind tour for a one of a kind artist, Van Gogh! An experience worth having.

I thought the trip was great but it should not be called on the trail of Van Gogh because not much was discussed about the famous painter.

Great day visiting two villages and Arles. Cedric was a lovely driver and guide. Our only suggestion is to add 30 minutes to the Arles visit. Merci beaucoup. This was my second Viator tour and the day trips are wonderful.

Rémy, our very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide for the day, brought us around the Les Alpilles to follow the trails of Van Gogh in Saint Rémy and Arles, and then to the beautiful village, Les Baux-de-Provence. It was an experience of a lifetime!
