Arles Private Tour
At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the tourist office in Arles to start a walking tour of the historic center of this town in the South of France.
During our private tour of Arles, we'll walk through the old town and stop at its most emblematic monuments. As this is a personalized tour, you'll be able to tell the guide which places you're most interested in visiting.
We'll start the guided tour by approaching the exterior of the Arles Amphitheatre, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. Here, we'll discuss the gladiatorial fights that occurred in this 1st-century arena.
Next, we'll see the structure of the ancient theatre, exploring the art and culture of the Roman Empire. We will also visit the Obélisque d'Arles, a red granite construction on the Place de la République, where the Town Hall is located.
Afterwards, we will stop at the Church of St Trophime, a World Heritage Site, to examine the Romanesque details of this 12th-century temple.
We will also discuss Vincent Van Gogh, who lived in Arles for over a year, painting around 200 works. We'll see the locations he depicted in his paintings, such as the Café de la Nuit.
After 2 hours of sightseeing, we'll conclude our private tour of Arles by returning to the starting point.
