Nicholas was a great guide!! Very informative about what we saw especially the Palais de Pape. The wine at the end was an enjoyable way to finish the tour!
The guide provided an excellent overview of the history of Avignon to set what we saw in context. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was easily understood in English.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city and its interesting history, buildings and architecture. This is a great way to start your exploration of Avignon.
The tour was great. Very interesting tour of the Pope’s Palace. I would have liked more information on the city of Avignon as well.
It was a good way to begin our visit to Avignon. Emile, our guide, gave us the lay of the land, walked us around some important spots, took us in the palace, and finished the tour with a wine tasting. The tour gave us good points of reference that have been helpful for the remainder of the trip. Thanks Emile!

This was a wonderful way to experience Avignon with a local! We learnt so much about Provençal culture and the history of the city! It was beautiful, personal and joyful! Thanks for sharing your city with us!
Die Tour musste kurzfristig abgesagt werden, da der Guide erkrankt ist. Das kann passieren, ich hoffe er hat sich bald erholt. Aber Die Reaktion des Büros war vorbildhaft. Ich wurde telefonisch kontaktiert, man war sehr höflich und hiflsbereit, bot mir an, die Eintrittskarten auf mein Telefon zu schicken (sodass ich die Tour alleine machen konnte, ich musste am nächsten Tag schon weiterfahren) und das Geld wurde (ich glaube noch am gleichen Tag) sofort rücküberwiesen. Wirklich perfekte Betreuung in einer schwierigen Situation
