Jose was a knowledgeable and engaging tour (traveler) guide. The visit to St. Remy asylum and Arles was extremely interesting. A very enjoyable experience.

Our tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history of Avignon, able to explain the influence of Roman period, the time Van Gogh spent in Avignon. He guided us to the places as stated in the itinerary. Ticket fee to the foundation is included and we are having free time to explore ourselves there. We are given lunch time at Arles, so we can explore a bit the shops there if you chose to have a quick lunch. The weather was quite warm in summer, it would be good if water is provided. You can purchase at the foundation if you run out, otherwise might have to wait till lunch time.
