Our morning tour was cancelled due to illness but the firm consulted us & arranged an excellent replacement tour that afternoon: perfect with just 4 guests.

Popes palace walking tour was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Avignon. Walk was a nice easy pace and finished with a couple of glasses of very nice wine.

Emile was magnificent and we enjoyed both morning and afternoon tours with him to Pond Du Gard, Baux de Provence, We enjoyed a wonderful walking tour inside Avignon’s Papal Palace & old city walls. Our highlight was an afternoon drive yesterday to hike St.Remy, Les Baux De Provence, & then to hike out in the Southern countryside of France see the 2000 year old Pont Du Gard built by the Romans, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. 😊 We hopped all-aboard Tren Italia this morning to Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour and look forward to our return to Avignon a one day.

Nicolas was wonderful. We learned the history of Avignon and the Popes. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was not very engaging and at time seemed to struggle. The palace had a better method of seeing this site for less money. She took us to the touristy shopping area. Ugh! There must have been something better to share in this lively town.

Very informative tour with an excellent guide. In addition to touring the Pope’s palace guide Nicola provided an overview of Avignons history and showed us areas of interest. .
