Anna Maria was wonderful. She gave thorough explanations and especially told little intresteing stories about Avignon which were a real treat on our tour. Anna Maria was also very attentive to our needs and kept giving advice to later on such as what we can, where to go and where to eat. In all the perfect guide.

“Magnifique !”
It was a spectacular outing and tour. Ana Maria is a knowledgeable and interesting guide. Her expertise as a historian and story teller are evident as she describes historical events and amusing stories. She speaks fluent Spanish, English, and French. We chose to take the tour in Spanish. The weather was perfect, cold and sunny. Wear comfortable shoes. Be prepared to have a great and informative time.

“Great overview of Avignon history ”
Despite the inclement weather on the day of our tour, we enjoyed this 2-hour walking tour of Avignon. Ana provided headsets so we could easily hear her as we explored the streets of the city. We stopped frequently and didn’t linger too long at any one site. She knows her stuff and explained the city’s history in a clear way, sprinkling in humorous anecdotes. I’d definitely recommend this tour.
