We loved learning about Avignon. Marie was knowledgeable, interesting and personalized the tour. My highest recommendations!

Unfortunately we were unable to hear our guide. She spoke in a whisper and was frequently out of breath. I feel we saw very little of Avignon.

I booked an English tour during peak season. The guide messages me on WhatsApp the morning of with directions to a meet up point, mainly in French. We had a rental car and drove ourselves to Avignon. Within the French, she wrote “next to hotel de ville”. Coming from another tour about 15 min from Avignon, I entered hotel de ville into my map and it directed me to an actual hotel outside of town, later I find out this means city hall in French. I was routed 35 minutes away from the actual meetup point, parked, and walked 10 minutes to hotel de ville. No guide. I called and she kept asking me if I see (a, b, c) all in French. Getting frustrated because I don’t speak French, hence when I booked an English private tour. She sends me an Avenue name in French again. After finding out we’ve just wasted 15 minutes trying to find her, I have another 15 min walk back to find my car, and a 35 minute drive where I’ll need to walk again. I just asked for a refund as we’d hardly have any time left to tour. She said the operating agency probably won’t and I was frustrated she tried to throw me off giving me instructions in French. The operating agency was equally unhelpful and said they couldn’t call the guide because she was on another tour - not true as it was during my tour time and she told me her next tour start time. I drove 35 min across town and just entered the Avignon cathedral. I found parking and we had 35 minutes remaining in our tour time. Neither the guide nor your agency would answer my call. I was hoping to learn about some history, but we had to just walk around and see it ourselves for 30 minutes before leaving for our next tour. I’m extremely frustrated and will have to file a chargeback in my American Express. They could’ve at least given us the 30 minutes remaining after I had paid $300, especially for their mistake in directing me!

Delightful couple of hours exploring the area around the palace of the popes. Our guide was entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this tour for first-timers to Avignon.

Harriet was an awesome guide. We had just come off a Viking river cruise. It was so nice to have a private tour for our group of 6. Harriet was not only knowledgeable she was excellent and making everyone happy (ages 52 to 90). We would highly recommend Harriet!
