Hello Avignon: Private 2-Hour Intro City Walk with Local Guide

Clement needs experience as a guide. We’ve taken many tours and always loved our guides. This one wasn’t up to par. He lacks personal interaction skills and story telling. He’s good on facts but not sharing his views of Avignon. We love this city and appreciated some of the details we learnt but the details lacked color and context. He doesn’t know how to lead a group or make a presentation

Our tour guide, Jerome, was outstanding! He was fast paced, which we wanted and received, as well as a very knowledgeable 'historian' of the town. We saw the popular sites as well as several sites that were not at all mentioned in most short descriptions of the town.....very insightful. Great recommendations for restaurants and shopping needs along the routes. And, he had perfected the spots for stopping in shade during a very sunny, warm day....appreciated! Definitely recommend Jerome and this tour.

The tour started out very good and we were very excited. However, as time went on, we did not end up seeing that much of Avignon and did not end up learning that much about Avignon.

Itinerary was good and appreciated guide meeting us at our hotel next to the Popes Palace. We were disappointed that there was no tasting offered at all. Our tour was not a full two hours. Not good enough for the price.

Excellent tour hosted by a very knowledgable guide!

I would say this was an informative tour, but did not wow in ways other tours have. Although there was only my husband and I on the tour, it felt like there was no real personalization or connection which we have experienced with other tour guides. For a large group tour and without paying too much, it would give you a good overview and history of the city.

Jerome is an outstanding guide. Our private tour started near the city gates across from the Avignon train station. We walked through much of the city along back streets, away from the crowds. Jerome is very knowledgeable about Avignon's sites and its history. The tour went past the Palace of the Popes, Saint-Bénézet (the bridge in the song Sur Le Pont d'Avignon) where he talked about both. Avignon has a long history of Jewish residents including during the time of the popes. Jerome explained what life was like for them during that time. Our tour ended near the center of the city. I highly recommend this private walking tour. As someone with ancestors from Avignon, I appreciated Jerome's deep knowledge of the history of the city.

It was a great tour with Anna! Lots of great places visited and get a lot of information about the city. Great organization 😀Thank you Anna

We visited the city with Anna. She guided us with great enthusiasm and passion. It was very interesting to learn the history of this wonderful city, big and small. Thank you very much Anna!

We really enjoyed our tour of Avignon with Jerôme. He showed strong historical knowledge with a clear and entertaining delivery. The tour was well structured, the pace was comfortable, and he offered practical suggestions for restaurants and places to visit afterwards. Definitely worth it.
