Whether you’re visiting Avignon for a day or a week, this tour will give you the context, stories, and local insight to make the most of your time in the city.

During the walk, you’ll see places such as the Palais des Papes, the Pont d’Avignon, the Jardin des Doms, lively squares, medieval streets, and quieter corners of the historic center.

The tour combines history, storytelling, and practical insight, with time for questions along the way. You’ll learn how Avignon became the City of Popes, why it played such an important role in medieval Europe, and how its past still shapes the city today.

Guests consistently describe it as “the best way to start your visit to Avignon” and “a great introduction to the city.” One guest even wrote, “We visited every recommended spot!”

An audio system is provided so you can hear clearly throughout the visit, even while walking through busier areas.

When possible, I also share practical suggestions during the tour for places to eat, museums, viewpoints, and other ways to enjoy Avignon after the walk.
