Best Nimes Tours & Trips

To truly experience the influence of the Roman Empire, head to Nimes in the south of France. There you can tour the Nimes Arena, a Roman amphitheater built around 70 A.D.; the Maison Carree, one of the best-preserved temples in the former Roman Empire; and the Pont du Gard, a 31-mile aqueduct built by - you guessed it - the Romans. And don't forget you're just a short ride from the pristine beaches along the coast of Languedoc-Roussillon.

14 Days in France & Monaco—Total Dream!

Eiffel Tower at sunset? Unreal. Loved the Loire Valley chateaux tour and Provence's lavender fields. Monaco's Grand Prix track was a highlight—felt like a VIP! Wine tastings in Bordeaux were so fun, guides knew all the best spots

I just finished this tour, and it was fantastic! The accommodations were super comfy, and every meal was yummy, especially the welcome dinner! I loved exploring cities like Granada and the olive oil tasting was so fun. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making every stop interesting. If you’re considering this tour, go for it—you won't regret it!

An Absolute Must-Do!

This tour was simply fantastic! Every day was filled with new adventures, from magnificent architecture in Nîmes to the romantic gondola rides in Venice. I loved that we were a small group, making it easier to bond with fellow travelers. The evening meals were highlights, allowing us to enjoy local cuisine together. The only downside was it ended too soon! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience the best of Southern France and beyond.
