We spent an informative 3 hours walking with Jade within the walls of Avignon, learning about the vast history of this amazing city. We covered a lot of ground & found some fabulous areas that we wouldn’t have seen by ourselves. Informative & interesting tour with Jade

To get a deeper impression of Avignon, you should take a guided tour. Starting point of my tour was the Place de l'Horloge. During my 3-hour-tour i visited a lot of interesting places like the pont d'Avignon, the palais des Popes and the roches des doms; the last spot was a wonderful viewing point. With Jade you will have a wonderful tour. She will be happy to anser all your questions. And not to forget her support to find perfect food spots.A wonderful trip in Avignon

Jamie is a true enthusiast about the city of his birth, and what a lovely place it is. He walked us all around and introduced us to the city’s complex history, its museums and contemporary artistic culture. If you’re new to Avignon, Jaime will get you started on the right foot.Enthusiast

Jaime is very passionate about all that Avignon has to offer, including history, architecture, food, culture, and he communicates that passion in every step of the tour. On top of that, he is very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile, making my family comfortable and welcome along the way. Thank you very much for helping us to go beyond the visual experience and actually getting us to appreciate details of Avignon that would otherwise have gone unnoticed by us! Highly recommended!!! A very pleasant and informative tour

Jaime was not really conversant in English. His tour was poorly planned and he was not understandable at all. We eventually left the tour claiming my wife wasn't feeling well. There is nothing good to say about the tour at all. Very disappointed

Jade is a nice girl but the tour she provides is not what is advertised: 10 Tastings of Avignon. She calls herself the Chief Wine and Dine Officer which would be great if it were true. No real knowledge of food, certainly not 10 tastings which was supposed to include drinks. I assumed wine, But wrong assumption. No wine, no proper food and not even water. A little history sprinkled throughout a long and lackadaisical walk around town. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it wasn’t so expensive. Definitely not worth it by a long shot. Not worth it
