    The map is flawed and the questions are silly and sometimes even wrong. Stopped playing after a few stops because we were just getting annoyed.

    Response from the operator: We’re sorry the experience left you feeling annoyed. The map and questions should make exploring the city enjoyable, so we regret that this was not the case for you. We take your comments about the map and potentially incorrect questions seriously. Please contact us at mail@explorial.com with your booking code and details of the affected questions so we can review your feedback. Your Explorial Team

    Treasure hunt in Avignon

    A truly fun and interactive treasure hunt, with maps to follow and clues to look for. Absolutely recommended, I will look for it in other cities too

    Response from the operator: Mappe da seguire e indizi da scovare: la combinazione perfetta per rendere Avignone ancora più divertente, Sara! E se già state pensando a quale altra città provare, siamo felicissimi di sentirlo: di citta da esplorare così ce ne sono parecchie ad aspettarvi. Il vostro team Explorial

    Great Experience!

    We saw places and learned about the history of Avignon we may not have known otherwise. The experience was fun and educational. We were able to take our time and stop along the way. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Learning Avignon's layers at your own pace — that's exactly how its history deserves to be discovered. So glad the educational and fun bits clicked together, and that you got to breeze right pas without rushing through. That's the sweet spot we're after. Thanks for the recommendation! Plenty more citys waiting whenever the next adventure calls. Your Explorial Team

    Good but needs photos updating for tasks

    Good, takes you to all the sights plus some interesting locations. FYI at least two of the photo tasks are out of date, making it a little difficult to find things and solve correctly… otherwise would gone out 5 stars.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We hope to see you playing Explorial again soon in other cities.

    Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.

    How much does Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt cost?

    +

    Prices start at $7 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 Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 10 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 Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt?

    +

    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 Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Avignon Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt 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.
