The Popes' palace is not to be missed. The luxury and splendor of this edifice compares to the poverty and struggle of ordinary people during the middle ages. ...
The walking tour included the immense and impressive Popes Palace. With over 200 steps, the "leisure" tour did not include this, but the guides enabled me (who was able to go into the Palace) to meet up with my wife (who with her cane was on the leisure tour) afterwards. Other parts of the walled city were visited, as well. ...
Avignon was really cool. The pope's palace was a great tour however the icing on the cake was the private evening concert. We took a mini train from the boat to the palace, which was fun as hell, and the concert was put on by three amazing musicians. The classical music was beautiful and the overall experience was outstanding. ...
Avignon, France - Sheltered by medieval walls, Avignon’s maze of narrow streets is filled with churches, museums and palaces tracing the history of this ancient, vibrant city. ...
Unfortunately I have to rate this as average because we missed out on seeing any of Avignon due to a conflict in scheduling. We wanted to see the very excellent Pont du Gard, which meant that we were unable to participate in the morning tour of Avignon and the Palace of the Popes. Very disappointing considering the tour was back at the boat by lunchtime and the ship remained docked in Avignon ...
