The Experience

How do you see four major Roman monuments and a medieval hilltop town without renting a car or piecing together separate tickets? This tour handles the route, the entry fees and the timing. You start in Avignon and head first to Nîmes, where the guide stops at the Fountain Gardens—the site of Roman baths and a temple to Diana set among pools and classical landscaping—then moves to the Maison Carrée, the only ancient temple in the world still standing in its original form. A photo stop there, then an hour inside the Arena of Nîmes, the best-preserved Roman amphitheater anywhere, which once hosted gladiator fights and now holds bullfights and concerts.

From Nîmes, the minivan climbs to Uzès, a town listed as a City of Arts and History. You walk the medieval streets past the 12th-century Fenestrelle tower, the 11th-century Bermonde tower and the Duke's castle, with time to eat lunch (not included in the tour price) at a restaurant of your choice. Before leaving Uzès, the guide shows you the start of the Roman aqueduct of Nîmes and the spring of l'Eure that fed it—the engineering that made the Pont du Gard necessary. The tour finishes at the Pont du Gard itself, the three-tiered aqueduct that carried water across the valley and remains one of the world's greatest examples of Roman construction. Entry is included, and you have time to walk the site and photograph it from multiple angles.

The guide is a local professional who speaks English or French (you choose at booking). The minivan is air-conditioned, holds a small group, and includes bottled water for the day. Hotel pickup from Avignon is not mentioned in the tour details, so confirm your meeting point when you book.

Is this one for you?Small groups work well here because the guide can move at a pace that lets you linger at each site without rushing—an hour in the Arena, time to walk Uzès on foot, and a proper look at the Pont du Gard. If you want to see multiple Roman landmarks in one day without driving yourself or juggling separate tickets and schedules, this tour holds it all together.
