What are people saying about Avignon

Justine_W, Jul 2026

Picture Perfect

This tour was an excellent way to experience a diverse selection of towns in a short space of time. We loved the variety and the unexpected surprises along the way. Anne was an exceptional guide - she shared her wisdom and knowledge in a warm and friendly manner, has mastered the must have camera shots, and kept her cool on an excessively hot Summer’s day. Lots of ‘wow’ moments. Would recommend highly.

Avignon Walking Tour including Pope's Palace

Marty_Z, Jun 2026

Interesting tour of a part of history.

This tour of the Papal palace in Avignon was very informative and interesting. The guide was excelleent and easily understood. She showed us a beautiful overlook of the river before the tour of the palace. This tour involves lots of walking and steps so reasonably good physical condition is needed.

Excellent overview of Avignon

The guide was knowledgeable and informative. Gave us enough information to get the sense of the town and historical significance of Avignon. Answered all the questions and promoted engagement. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. She even made sure we stayed in the shade for most of the tour it was 30C ! Highly recommend!

Taste Avignon – A Full French Culinary Tour by Do Eat Better

Michael_K, Jun 2026

An introduction to the local cuisine

The Taste of Avignon tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Avignon. Our guide took us to four different locations around the city, each offering a unique and delicious taste of the local food culture. We started with appetizers at the local market, where we sampled fresh regional specialties while learning about the history and traditions behind them. Next, we enjoyed a memorable lunch at a charming local café, featuring a wonderfully rich baked cheese dish that was both comforting and authentic. Our third stop was a long-established patisserie, where we indulged in exquisite desserts that showcased the craftsmanship and heritage of French pastry making. The tour concluded at a local honey and nougat shop, where we sampled outstanding artisanal products. Every stop offered something new and delicious, and the variety of experiences made the tour feel both immersive and well-paced. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the local food scene, which added tremendous value to the experience. My only minor criticism is that the tour included just one drink with lunch. Given the quality and generosity of the food offerings, it would have been nice if an additional beverage or tasting had been included along the way. Even so, this was a phenomenal experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Avignon through its food, history, and local culture.

Half-Day Provence Pont du Gard and Wine Tasting Tour from Avignon

Sarah_G, May 2026

A brilliant trip with guide Anne

An excellent experience. Anne was a brilliant guide and was very knowledgeable. The theatre was interesting, the wine tasting very nice and the Pont du Gard was just amazing. We both really enjoyed it. I’d pay more to have food at the wine tasting but that’s just personal preference. It was a great trip with plenty of time to do everything so I would recommend it. Especially if you get Anne as your guide!

In the footsteps of Van Gogh in Provence from Avignon

Melissa_M, May 2026

For Van Gogh lovers, but discover amazing Arles,

Sylvia was a great guide, and gave us an overview of the history of where we were while she was driving to our destinations. Solid information on van Gogh, and it was so wonderful to stand in the spots where van Gogh actually painted his masterpieces. I do wish the tour was a little bit longer for more time at each stop. I went for van Gogh, but discovered the amazing Arles in the process. Wonderful medieval city.

Châteauneuf du Pape Wine Day Tasting Tour including Lunch from Avignon

Susie_M, Mar 2026

A thoroughly enjoyable day

Nicolas was a great guide- good fun and really knowledgeable and we learnt lots about wine making and the area during the day. Lunch was really good too. We tasted lots of wines including some delicious white and rose wines, as well as the reds, and compared wines made using different methods. We would definitely recommend the tour.

Truffle Hunting in Provence

Wanda_M, Dec 2025

The truffle-hunting...

The truffle-hunting experience at Les Pastras in November was absolutely fantastic: Johann and his crew did a wonderful job of explaining the cultivation of truffles, taking us out with the dogs to search for this "black gold", and serving delicious truffle hors d'oeuvre and champagne. This was probably our most memorable adventure while in Provence...highly recommended!!!

A lovely introduction to...

A lovely introduction to the wines from the Chateauneuf du Pape region, and a tour of the beautiful wine country as well. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative and really pulled together the group of disparate travelers. We especially liked the first tour of the Mireille vineyard where the owner explained the complex process of making great wine.
