About this tour
A bespoke eight-hour private exploration of Avignon and Provence, shaped around your interests before you arrive.

What to expect
Before departure, you'll sit down with your guide over a drink to discuss what genuinely interests you—whether that's château architecture, wine discoveries, local markets, or cultural deep dives. This isn't a fixed route. Your guide, part of a cultural association rather than a commercial operator, shapes the day around your preferences. Expect genuine conversation about Provençal life, regional history in Occitan and Roman contexts, and stops at places your guide actually cares about. The pace is leisurely; you're seeing the region through a local lens, not ticking boxes.
