The walking tour of inner Avignon was just terrific! Jerome was wonderfully entertaining, personable and informative! His knowledge of the history benefitted from him living in the main area of the tour. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious. We would highly recommend Jerome as a tour guide as well as the specific private tour that he provided.
Tour Guide Extraordinaire!

Jerome was a knowledgeable and wonderful tour guide. We overslept and he was very kind and met us closer to our hotel. He tailored the tour to our interests. He speaks English very well and was so interesting to listen to and learn from. We wish the tour was longer!
Great tour!

It was well worth the price, our guide, Jérôme, was very knowledgeable and took us all around the city including some very unique places. His passion for the city and the history was evident and engaging. Would highly recommend, especially if you only have a short time in Avignon
