Description
Stroll through one of southern France’s most enchanting cities with a guided tour that brings history to life. Choose between our 2-hour discovery tour of the historic city center, or immerse yourself further with our 3-hour experience, which includes a guided visit to the magnificent Palace of the Popes. On the 2-hour tour, you’ll explore Avignon’s picturesque streets, lively sidewalk cafés, elegant squares, and tree-lined boulevards. Take in the grandeur of the Palace of the Popes from the outside, a stunning centerpiece of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed city. Upgrade to the 3-hour tour for an even deeper dive into Avignon’s rich past. Step inside the awe-inspiring Palace of the Popes, walk across the legendary Pont d’Avignon, and stroll through the spontifical gardens. Seven successive popes made it their home, commissioning spectacular works of architecture to rival those of Rome. The Palace of the Popes stands out as one of the most important Gothic buildings in Europe.

Not worth the money
Our guide was a lovely lady, but there was nothing to see except the exterior of the papal palace, the famous Avignon bridge from a distance, & the modern garden. I didn’t learn anything new. I’m very saddened by the crazy cost of this excursion that also ended early :( I will contact AMEX and see if a “forced” refund is at all possible.
Operator response
Hello Nina, we are sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied, but I think that you expected something that we do not provide, and the description of the tour is what you had with the licensed tour guide Isabelle. Regards

Avignon Walking Tour
The tour was ok. Guide didn’t have a story to tell, seemed like she had no plan. Nice enough person with some interesting commentary, but no real passion/ enthusiasm for the subject and overall a marginal experience, especially for the price.
