Wonderful way to get intro to Avignon - It is a lovely tour but it was quite a busy time as the Theatre Festival was going on at the same time. The streets were quite crowded. Our guide was great.

Fantastic introduction to Avignon - Jeremy was a great guide. The walk through Avignon wasn't too challenging, but there are a fair number of stairs to climb in the pope's palace. We got great history of the town as well as tips on where to eat. We visited during their annual theater festival, and it was crazy busy. I personally wouldn't go there in July unless you are a fan of French theater. The tour was great, though, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great 1/2 Day tour of Avignon! - The tour was great! Guide was very knowledgeable. The meeting point was a bit hard to find, but if you’re one the street & facing the small cafe on your right, the office is to your left! Avignon is a beautiful town that is very rich in culture & history! Loved it!!

How can I put it?😐 - Well then where to start, I'm not the type to put scores below 4 but there... already we paid 31€ for 1 child and 2 adults with a discount. We started the tour of the palace and... nothing extraordinary our guide tablets (included in the price) were quite complicated to understand. What's a shame is that the garden and palace are not really maintained, the only interesting things were contemporary arts on display and tablet games to find treasures... I strongly advise you to visit the Pont d Avignon instead.
