Additional Information

Embark on a 2-hour journey through one of the most enchanting cities in the south of France, Avignon. Admire the grandeur of the Palace of the Popes from the exterior, while you stroll through the city’s outdoor cafes, sophisticated squares, and charming leafy boulevards.

Avignon, encircled by majestic medieval walls, served as the center of Christianity during the 14th century, with seven consecutive popes claiming this city as their seat. In an effort to compete with the Roman Papacy, architects in Avignon created some of the city’s most impressive structures, such as the excellently conserved defensive walls and the monumental Palace of the Popes – a prime example of medieval Gothic architecture in Europe.

With a knowledgeable local guide at your side, explore not only the landmark sights but also the lesser-known attractions of Avignon. Learn about the history and hidden gems of this city, which holds a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Excellent tour! Marc was... - Excellent tour! Marc was am amazing guide. We had so much fun. Be prepared for a lot of walking (obviously) and not many places to sit. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
