★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 56 reviews · 4 hours · from $73

Travel from Arles into the Alpilles Regional Park in a small 4x4 with a French or English-speaking driver-guide. You’ll pass vineyards, olive groves, Roman remains, Saint-Rémy, and Les Baux de Provence, then taste local olive oils at a mill. The 30-minute Les Baux stop is scenic but short.

“La visite chez le fabricant d'huile d'olive et la dégustation sont très intéressantes. L'arrêt à l'aqueduc est beaucoup trop long et la visite des Baux de Provence trop courte. Le confort de la Land Rover est assez rudimentaire et le véhicule semble un peu fatigué mais dans l'ensemble, cette excursion vaut le coup.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 42 reviews · 2h 30m · from $64

Join Hugo for a 2.5-hour small-group e-bike ride from Aigues Mortes into the Camargue. You’ll pedal past vineyards, marshes, and canals while stopping for horses, bulls, birds, and possible flamingo sightings. Electric mountain bikes and helmets are included, with guiding in French, English, or Spanish.

“It was nice mostly because of the weather and the scenery. Hugo, our guide, is a very nice guy. But the bikes were too big for my partner and I, we would have appreciated options, that made the trip not uncomfortable. Provided informations regarding dates about buildings etc. we're too approximate, we would have appreciated more specific knowledge, at least that what I'd expect from a guided tour, it can't be loose about history. So overall, it is a bit too expensive for what it is.”
