A great combination of city tour plus opportunity to explore local food and drink - It was a great combination of a city tour, punctuated with lots of food and drink. Tasted and ate and drank loads of delicious stuff which I wouldn't have normally tried. Warning - don't eat before you go. Loads of food on offer!

Fabulous and Excellent. - This was an excellent day, we staeted with a group of 6, which was not too many. Zahra has excellent knowlledge of Avignon and the surrounding areas. The tour of the city was amazing, informing us of the history, the architechture and the people of the city and of Provence. The food stops she took us too were amazing, off the popular routes, but fantastic. What we tasted in the group of 6, was the best of its type we'd all experienced and at some of the stops we were given choices about what we could sample. If I could rate my favourite dish, but I'd recommend the omlette from the Lasagne stop to anyone (photo), and thats without mentioning the Olive & Tapanada and the Best lemon tart that exists and the noughat shop!! Thanks to Zahra for a super super day. We bought stuff from 2 of the venues on the tour and we may well go back for another slice of that omlette pie.

Yeah, good. Visit to be made - Great visit. At that time it was nickel. Not too hot or too cold. All the traders welcomed us. Our Guide was great and mastered his subject perfectly. The 3 hours pass quickly and with all the gourmet breaks, we don’t have the Impression of walking so much.

Outstanding tour. - Zahra was a phenomenal tour guide. She shared historical information throughout the tour. The food choices were delicious. The quiche was light and fluffy and the red wine served with it was one of the best I’ve had. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful food tour of Avignon - Zehra was a very knowledgeable and talented guide, leading us through a two hour tour of the city with several tasting stops, culminating in a delicious dinner. She made sure that we saw many of the city’s highlights and gave us recommendations on restaurants to visit during the rest of our stay in the city. I highly recommend the tour and Zehra.

A fun little tour to get your feet wet in Avignon. Then follow up with all the great suggestions! - Lovely time mixing a tour of Avignon with some tasty treats. There were only three of us so it was easy to navigate the town as we learned about the history of the town. The food was all delicious. I would say my only negative comments were that I felt very rushed. No time to take photos, rush, eat, rush eat. I would say to our lovely hostess that a full lunch is not necessary and more time should be spend enjoying the treats and talking about the history, vs. rushing through the tastings. I would maybe replace the lunch with a wine and cheese sampling. Don't miss the desserts though!
