Affiliate Disclosure

Plainly, and before anything else: Avignon Tours may earn a commission when you book through a link on this site, at no extra cost to you.

What that means in practice

The tours listed here are sold through GetYourGuide and Viator. When you follow a link from one of these pages and go on to book, the platform pays us a share of its own commission. You pay the same fare either way; the price on the booking page is the operator's price, not a marked-up one.

What we are not

We are not a tour operator. We do not run any of these tours, employ any of these guides or drivers, or hold your booking. Your contract is with the operator, through the platform.

We have no connection with the City of Avignon or its tourist office, the monuments of Avignon or the people who run them, any wine estate or appellation body, or any tour or transport company.

How tours get listed

Operators cannot pay for placement, position or a badge. A badge that makes a claim is a measured one: Top rated appears only on a tour rated 4.9 or higher, Most reviewed or Best seller only on the tour with the most reviews, and Best value only on the cheapest. A platform's own badge is not shown.

Today a few cards carry a badge. Most reviewed sits on the full Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine day, which has the most reviews. The other two, Food walk and Provence in a day, are labels that say what kind of day the card is, not claims about it.

The featured tours at the top of the homepage are three kinds of day from three different kerbs: the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine day from rue de Mons, the Provence highlights day from the tourist office, and the Taste Avignon food walk from the palace steps.

A few operators sell the same day on more than one booking platform, and some sell the same list of stops under different names. Those pairs are never shown side by side, and each is described from its own listing.

Prices, ratings and how current they are

Prices, star ratings and review counts belong to the operators and were taken from their own listings on 28 September 2026. They move, and the figure at checkout is the one that counts. Every fare is quoted in US dollars because that is the currency the listings were captured in; nothing is converted at an exchange rate. A fare is shown in whole dollars, the cents dropped.

Where a listing counts its reviews two slightly different ways, the count shown is the one its own star breakdown adds up to. Every fare is per person, and where a listing needs at least two travellers on the booking, its price says so.

Facts about the city itself, such as opening hours, entry prices and the climate, come from the official pages of the Palais des Papes, the bridge, the Avignon tourist office, UNESCO, Inter Rhône and Météo-France. Where a detail comes from a listing, such as a meeting point, a group size, an age limit or what the fare covers, it belongs to that tour.

What we deliberately do not publish

• “Tastings included” where the fare does not say so. Two Châteauneuf-du-Pape days list only the vehicle in what the fare includes, while their itineraries describe the tastings. Their cards say the tastings are not itemised.
• An entry the fare does not name. The Pont du Gard entry is “in the fare” only where the listing's own inclusions name it, not where an itinerary line mentions admission.
• Admission to Sénanque Abbey on a photo stop. One listing marks it included on a 10-minute stop; its twin says not included, and the abbey is visited at set hours.
• “Provence cru” for the Rhône crus. Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas are Rhône Valley appellations.
• Claims no official source makes. No “highest Roman bridge in the world”, no single building year for the aqueduct, and no painting said to be where it is not.
• Dates no official source has set. No 2027 festival, lavender or harvest dates, and no regional train times.
