Half-day 4x4 Camargue safari from Arles with a guide, wild horses, bulls, flamingos, and a stop in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.

“We had a wonderful trip ! It's definitely worth the money because not only did we see the animals, bulls, flamingos and horses, which we probably could have seen if we were driving on our own, but we received really interesting explanations about the agricultural customs, and many many other things that we certainly wouldn't have noticed. Our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable and really was lovely to be with. I would strongly recommend this trip.”

Half-day Saint-Émilion trip from Bordeaux with a grand cru winery visit, red wine tasting, and a UNESCO village walk, in a small group.

“Pick up is a bit of a miss since dozen of other tours pick up from the same location. Tour was private and small. You do an interesting wine tour but our tour guide at the winery didnt speak good english and was insulted when I gently told him that “barrels” and “bagels” were pronounced differently. Basically the whole tour he kept talking about “bagels.” After the tour you go to a wine shop and they make you sample wine and seem to really try to make you buy bottles. The tour felt like a cash grab. Not recommended.”

12.Camargue: Half-Day 4×4 Guided Safari Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 846 reviews · 3h 30m · from $75

A 4x4 safari through Camargue marshes and rice fields with bulls, horses, flamingos, plus a gourmet break and wine tasting for around 3.5 hours.

“The guide, Tristan, was really competent and engaging. He gave us a lot of information and he let us to understand how interesting and full of history and tradition Camargue is, talking about its evolution through the years. Even the tasting step was really good and interesting with the guide giving information about what we tasted. It is true that animals (e.g.: ibis) can be pictured from your own car, but what would be missed is the information about them (e.g.: why ibis is pink? What about the bulls why are they so important in Camargue and the difference with the Spanish ones). Strongly suggested to appreciate and to understand…”
