Not just a food tour, but more.

My daughter and I did this tour with the delightful Zara. I had injured my leg a few days earlier and she was incredibly accommodating and worked the tour at my pace. Her passion for the area and its local produce is contagious and we had the opportunity to try many beautiful products. As it was a distance from our accomodation for dessert she kindly arranged for us to have this at an alternative time. This is not just a food tour but also an interesting walk incorporating the history of Avignon and its architecture. Would highly recommended!

Zahra was a superb tour guide. She had so much information to offer about the city, the food and Provence. Could not be better. The food was magnificent. We had seen so many food delights and didn't know where to start tasting while visiting. So many more food delights ahead. Thank you Zahra!!
