This was my first time...

Utsav_M, Mar 2026
This was my first time trying a self guided tour from viator so i had some hesitation, but it turned out well.

Arles exceptional antiquities and shopping

Marvin_S, Nov 2025
For older folks, walking in a day may take over 6 hours. Arles is only slightly up and down. Museums, Roman sights and shopping take time to experience. The guide is helpful with the sights and information along the way. We are going over two days.

App update a problem

Robert_M, Sep 2025
App tried to update in the middle of the tour. No WiFi and could not update so app was not useable. I have asked for a refund.

Great info on Van Gogh

Judy_T, Jun 2025
I appreciated that we could walk at our own pace, stop to see sites on our own and then move along. We could also skip sites if we were tired (it was an extremely hot day- 97 degrees!). The walk was accessible and the voice guided tour was easy to follow. I appreciated being able to download the app and the directions so as not to tax my "roaming" and data on the phone.

A great walking tour

Christopher_E, Apr 2025
The tour was great and very informative. We were able to follow the route and the commentary was very good. Highly recommend this tour.

Hop, skip and Jump across Arles

Linda_G, Mar 2025
it all worked OK but the map taking you from 1 location to another was appalling. It was difficult to follow to get you from one site to the next. Luckily I am quite good with maps and found my own way. The information given at each site was a bit basic especially in explaining some of the van Gogh locations. A bit over romantic. It was useful to use as a guide of what to see in Arles but I think I could have found this out without paying £7+ for the pleasure.

Great day!

Mhairi_C, Oct 2024
I loved that even though it's geared towards all things Van Gogh, the tour takes you all over so you in fact, see lots!

Want refund
