Informative and enjoyable tour!
Charlotte was wonderful and very patient with our 6 year old. She was very knowledgeable about Avignons and showed us all the interesting spots!

Disappointed
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.
Response from the operator: Dear Denise, We appreciate your feedback and regret any inconvenience caused during the tour. We take all guest comments seriously and will use your input to enhance our services. Tina

Not good for English speaking travelers - will just steal your money and give no tour
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!
Response from the operator: Dear traveler, 1. You changed start time last minute which made our Guide change the meeting point. This means your request changed both meeting point and booked start time of this product. 2. Guide did correctly give you the name of city hall and square in French and she did it in WhatsApp as per screenshots we have, the names of streets in France are not in english as you wish you would have. Screenshots show she has written to you in english with the names of square, streets and city hall in French. 3. We called you on phone and you asked for refund and your only point was „guide did not speak french and sent messages in french“. Sorry, but our guide has been doing english tours for many years and many tours for our clients. With best feedback from clients. 4. She has been flexible last minute to change tour start time per your wish; you arrived at square with delay as per screenshots, could not find the meeting point, did not ask any person on spot to help you, you did not call our emergency line which you have on your Voucher. 5. Considering all this, we do not understand why you ask refund for this and you give us 1*!

Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $355 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.
Is Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Avignon?
+
On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Avignon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Avignon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
