Avignon’s visit with Matilde was excellent. Her direct and kind attitude together with Her sincere smile and authenticity made the difference. It was pleasant and useful time spent together and I recommend asking for Matilde because She will always make the difference.

Very glad I attended. Emile is a delightful person, very knowledgeable and is skilled at communicating the history; he's rooted in the region, and his English is as clear as a bell.

It was a fantastic morning walk to learn about the rich history of Avignon and the Palace. Our host Mathilde was great, vey knowledgeable and kept at a gentle pace. I highly recommend, even for solo travellers. Merci!

Emile was a fantastic guide with a lot of information that made Avignon come alive. I think understanding the history of Avignon can be difficult to understand if you don't know much about how it was established and how it became the papal seat. Emile did a great job of walking through the timeline and the history in an easily digestible format that was approachable for everyone, regardless of their level of knowledge. He did a great job of encouraging questions and keeping the tour very engaging, despite the strong winds that would have been difficult to navigate for most. He did a wonderful job of making the palace of the popes come alive, and it would not have been as enjoyable without a guide. Lastly, we enjoyed the wine tasting, which was completely unexpected but a lovely way to finish the tour. I can't recommend this tour enough, and I strongly encourage you to do it when you first arrive in Avignon so that you can make the most of your visit!

Our guide, Nicholas, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Perfect amount of time 3 + hours plus excellent wine tasting experience (2 ample glasses) both red and white at local winery. Knowledgeable winery owner who filled us in on the regions wines. Some skipped this part. Pope Palace tour was really great too. Learned a ton about the papacy in Avignon. Nicholas was able to answer all questions. Recommend this tour.
