Nîmes Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

What can I say - a Must have tour for overview of Nimes. Juan easily switches between English, Spanish or French. He knows all the facts about Nimes - to include neighhoods beyond the well known sites and of course the expected sites. He can even recommend restaurants or even a 🍻. Flexible and adaptable - he has become the go-to guide in Nimes after years.PS.. doesn't hurt he's a French foreign leginnaire.

The tour was well worth it! Celine is very knowledgable about French food, speaks great English and has put together a very nice tour through beautiful parts of Nimes. If you are interested in a food tour, I highly recommend it - you won’t regret it!

I was visiting Nimes with my teenaged daughter. Although we had already been here for around 5 days, Celine took us to new and different area of the city that we hadn’t already discovered. The tour had a great balance of excellent food and historical detail. Although I have travelled extensively in France, many of the local delicacies were new to me. The artisans are carefully selected for high class products and it was particularly pleasant to sit above the chocolaterie at lunch time to enjoy bread, brandade, tapenade, cheese, salami and wine before tasting some of the excellent chocolates. We have done a number of food tours of many cities in Europe and elsewhere and this ranks highly among them.

Hecham was a 10:/10. He is professional, courteous, informative and overall the BEST driver you could ask for!! Fabulous in every way! I can’t recommend him enough.

This was the first time I have been the only person on a walking tour.It was great to have one on one conversation,going at my pace and focusing on what I wanted.An excellent down to earth guide. Definitely worth it.

Superb tour, very interesting!

Don’t miss this tour. You will learn fascinating information on how lavender is grown and processed as well as geological details effecting the soil conditions that support the lavender plants. The farm is charming as well as the guide. They sell wonder organic lavender preparations. Bring your own picnic .. they only sell drinks and pastries on site, but there are nice picnic tables available.

The Arènes at Nîmes is spectacular. The Cool Destinations app does not give scannable ticket so they had to look it up and we almost did not get in.

Nîmes is a beautiful city! Juan guided us on a tour. We visited the Arena, Maison Carée, the Jardins with Tour Magne, the fountain of Nîmes at the Temple of Diana. We enjoyed the walk in the city where he informed us why the city has crocodiles depicted everywhere, and the Roman emperor Octavianus (Augustus) was the main character during our trip. We enjoyed the tour very much, he even brought a tiny sword and a gladiator outfit for our son. Thank you, Juan.

Great overview of historical monuments of Nimes. Guide was very knowledgeable and a treat to visit with.

A great 1.5-hour guided tour with Grégoire. I recommend the 3:00 PM guided tour to understand everything! I will go back to see what I couldn't do during the guided tour.

Great experience, Gaël is passionate and it is a beautiful family story! Given the time and everything that is offered at the end of the workshop, it is really not expensive! Picking was my favorite moment 🪻! Not being far, I should have gone off-season, but everything is really well thought out, with respect for nature and with a lot of care for their visitors!

Very interesting and very easy activity. You can book even for children, it is completely accessible

I spent a fabulous day learning all about the harvesting and distillation of lavender and other fragrant plants for the distraction of essential oils. The workshop was well organised and catered well for non-French speaking guests. All of the guides are passionate and enthusiastic about their farm and the products they produce and it’s wonderful to see a family farm leading the way in organic practices. The workshop is really interactive and immersive and you come away with a beautiful essential oil, fragranced water and a desire to start distilling your own fragrances.

We really enjoyed the perfume workshop. From fragrance basics to creating my custom blend, the process was creative, relaxing and educational. The personalized perfume is the best souvenir from our trip to France.Before the workshop, we took a short walk through the fields. Lavender was not in full bloom yet but the landscape was still beautiful. The shop also sells many high quality products. Overall, it was a fun, hands on workshop with excellent guidance. We highly recommend it.

Service provided as part of a bachelorette party Very nice discovery Very nice workshop, I recommend it.
