    Great time

    A very lively and informative walk in the company of Ms. Pernod who transports us into the past and delights us with anecdotes and a captivating historical account.

    A highly immersive historical visit!

    A very enriching visit with an excellent guide! Not being from the area, I learned a tremendous amount. The immersion in Avignon of 1860 was complete with a dynamic and fun guide who knew how to stay in character. The little anecdotes and other stories were truly interesting. Hats off for her simply magnificent costume! This allows for discovering a part of Avignon's history in a different way.

    Very good time spent in the past of Avignon - an unknown facet

    Very nice surprise gift, an original way to spend my birthday! A dive into the era of dyers, with Mme Pernod. 2h visit, very interesting, which made us discover stories, anecdotes, with a real historical concern, and little corners we did not know. Real immersion. Lively, personified (nice work on the character), with illustrations and good humor. I highly recommend, eager to discover the V2 of the servant who is in reflection..., and I will maybe go to Toulouse in the meantime.

    Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860 cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23 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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860 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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860 worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860?

    +

    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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860 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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860?

    +

    Around 3 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 Theatre Guided Tour of Avignon in 1860 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.
