This is an absolutely wonderful tour. My husband is knowledgeable about wine - and we both enjoy tastings. But there was still so much to learn from Clemence. She was very good at helping us each determine the types and tastes of wine that we individually liked. Fabulous! Book it NOW.

Don’t miss this tour!

I’m a history buff and Jerome fulfilled my curiosity. One of the best guides I’ve encountered, he gave well-rounded and well-explained highlights of Avignon making you want to return for more history. He is also passionate and prideful about the city, the peoples, the culture and the arts. I truly recommend a tour with Jerome. He made my trip!
