Very good tour because our guide was informative and charming. The city walk was great! The organisation as to the meeting place was bad so we lost about 45 minutes standing around trying to find the other people on the tour. This meant the tour of the palace was very rushed. Our guide was not able to go inside on the tour with us and that was not according to the advertisement. Also our tickets did not include a tour of the garden so you should know that before you book.

Excellent overview of the rich history of Avignon. Our guide, Sylvia, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city and Provence in general. Highly recommend!

A good tour of the area around the Palace of the Popes and inside the Palace. The tour of the palace felt a little rushed; we stayed behind and didn't go for the wine tasting. Lots of interesting information with the guide, Silvie, speaking good English. I thought I'd booked an English language tour but it turned out it was bilingual for French and English, which I guess reduced the amount of time available.
