Avignon Tour Prices: What Each Fare Buys, from Walks to Wine Days

Avignon has no city ticket: the streets are free, and you pay at two doors and for whatever tour you book. This guide sets out what each costs and what each fare carries, so you know what is in the price before you pay it. It starts with the Avignon ticket prices for the palace and the bridge.

What do the monuments cost?

Two doors charge. Since 1 August 2026 the Palais des Papes and its gardens cost €16, €13 reduced and €10 for ages 10 to 17. The Pont Saint-Bénézet costs €6 and €4 for ages 10 to 17. Children under 10 go free at both. The palace prices changed on 1 August 2026, so older guidebooks quote less.

Everything else inside the walls costs nothing: the streets, the ramparts, the cathedral and the garden above the river. Residents of Avignon get into the palace free at weekends and on public holidays, with proof.

Is the combined ticket worth it?

If you want both, always. The palace, its gardens and the bridge together cost €19.50, €16 reduced and €12 for ages 10 to 17. That is €3.50 more than the palace alone, for a €6 bridge.

It is valid that day and the next, with one entry to each site. That lets you do the palace one morning and the bridge the next.

Is the City Pass worth it?

Only if you visit a lot in a short time. The Avignon City Pass costs €24 for 24 hours or €32 for 48, and covers the main sites of Avignon and Villeneuve lez Avignon. It pays off if you do the palace, the bridge and more than one museum inside its window.

For the palace and the bridge alone, the €19.50 combined ticket is cheaper.

What does a walking tour cost?

A shared walk costs $29 to $80 a person. The history walk costs $29 for ninety minutes to two hours, with whisper-box audio. The post-office walk costs $40 for two hours and twelve stops. The palace and bridge tickets are extra on both.

The private walk costs $155 a person for two hours, your party only, with a local product tasting. See the Avignon walking tours for all of them.

Which fare includes the palace ticket?

One. The A la Française walk costs $80 for three and a half hours and includes the palace entrance ticket, a licensed guide and a glass of Côtes du Rhône. Take away the €16 ticket and you are paying for the guide and the wine.

The other walks show you the palace from its square. If you take one of those, buy the ticket yourself and go in afterwards, with the free tablet.

Is the private walk worth its price?

For a family or a group of friends, it can be. The private walk costs $155 a person for two hours, from the town hall on Place de l'Horloge, with a local product tasting on the way. Nobody else joins, so the guide follows your questions and your pace, and strollers are fine.

For one or two people who want the main squares and the cathedral, the history walk at $29 covers them in a group of up to 25.

What does a food tour cost?

$98 to $108 a person. The Taste Avignon walk costs $98, with the equivalent of a full meal and wine for over-18s, and needs two travellers on the booking. The Essentials walk costs $102, with food tastings, a wine tasting and a lunch or dinner.

Weigh it against a restaurant meal plus a guided walk, not against a walk alone. The Avignon food tours put both prices side by side.

What does a wine tour cost, and what does it pour?

A half day costs $91 to $126 a person. The afternoon Châteauneuf-du-Pape tour, the Great Vineyards day, the Rhône cru afternoon and the Gigondas half day list the tastings in the fare. The Great Vineyards day adds a winemaking visit or one more tasting.

The seven-hour day from rue de Mons costs $203, the top fare in the city. Its list of inclusions names only the air-conditioned vehicle, while its itinerary describes three winery visits and a village cellar. Lunch is at your own cost. Ask the operator what is poured before you book. The Avignon wine tours compare them all.

What does a day out cost?

A half day costs $92 to $114 a person, and a full day $136 to $196. The e-bike day in the Luberon costs $184, with the bike, the helmet and the minivan. Every day out runs a minivan with eight seats at most. Half days fill a morning or an afternoon, while full days leave at 8:45 or 9 am and bring you back in the early evening.

The price rises with the hours and the stops. The highlights day gives you seven stops for $150; the ten-hour A la Française day gives you six stops and an entry for $196. The day tours from Avignon list them all.

Which day fares include an entry?

Few, so read each list. The Provence Panorama full day and the ten-hour A la Française day include the Pont du Gard entrance; on the second, the museum there is extra. Walking onto the aqueduct site is free anyway, and a car pays €9 to park.

The Van Gogh half day includes your entry to the asylum at Saint-Rémy. No fare pays for a visit inside Sénanque Abbey: it is a photo stop, and the lavender day lists its admission as extra.

What is never in the fare?

Lunch, on almost every day out: only the lavender day brings a picnic, and the Gigondas morning on its three-area option. Tips are left out everywhere. Bottles you buy at an estate are yours to pay for.

Hotel pickup is the other gap. You meet at a kerb in town: the tourist office, the post office, a square or a hotel door on cours Jean Jaurès.

How do group rules change the price?

Every fare here is per person. Some need at least two travellers on the booking: the Taste food walk, the Great Vineyards day, the Provence Panorama day and the ProVans villages day. A solo traveller should pick another.

Ages matter too. Several wine days take adults only, the full wine day starts at 16, and the lavender day is for adults only.

How do you get the most for your money?

Combine rather than stack. Buy the €19.50 combined ticket, take the $29 history walk for the streets, and you have both paid doors and a guide for less than any half day out. Lunch at the market costs what you choose to spend.

Then put your budget into the one day out that matters most to you: the wine if you drink it, the villages if you do not. A single full day gives you more than two rushed half days.

Can you cancel, and what does it cost?

Nothing, up to 24 hours ahead. You get a full refund on every fare if you cancel in time. If the operator cancels for weather or too few bookings, you are offered another date or a refund.

What do the fares buy, side by side?

Prices are per person, as listed today.

For anything in the table, the booking page shows the price for your date before you pay.
