Best way to learn about the reach history of Avignon - This was a great tour. Christopher was superb, very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible to your needs. I have been two previous times visiting Avignon; this was the first time on this private tour, and oh my, how many things I learned. Do not hesitate to book this tour if you are interested in learning new things about this amazing city with such rich history. Also Christopher will give you multiple recommendations not only related to Avignon but also to other areas in Provence.

Do not hesitate - well worth it - Amazing experience with Christopher. Avignon is so rich in history! In a few short hours we listened to stories and explored areas we would have never known about without Christopher’s help. He is engaging and knowledgeable and we would recommend this tour without reservation.

Excellent - Christopher Curtis with OohProvence was our guide for old Town Avignon. He was an excellent, knowledgeable, guide and went above and beyond for us during our tour. Christopher helped us understand the historical significance of not only Avignon but several other villages in the Provence region. He also gave us several great restaurant recommendations both in Avignon and in Aix-en-Provence. His experience, knowledge, and easy manner was fantastic. My sister and I only wish we had booked him for all our tours. We highly recommend him.

Great destination, the specific tour guide matters - The Palace of the Popes was incredible and well worth seeing. Our particular tour guide, however, was not well prepared (perhaps because he was not a French native), took us to things like Les Halles food market that we were not interested in, and made anti-Pope comments during each room of the Palace.
