What to Expect: A Fully Personalised Agenda

As the name suggests, this tour is all about you. After booking, you can specify your interests—history, architecture, local life, or all of the above. The guide then crafts a route that hits your favorite spots, possibly including:

Ancient Roman Monuments: Such as the Arena and the Maison Carrée, which are must-sees. Expect detailed stories about their construction and historical significance, as one reviewer mentioned, “Our guide brought the ruins alive with fascinating anecdotes.”
The Dyres’ Quarter: A lesser-known part of Nîmes where you can find authentic local charm, artisan shops, and quaint streets that many travelers overlook.

The Guide: Your Personal Storyteller

The guides at DIDASKO are passionate and knowledgeable, and reviews highlight their friendliness and ability to make history engaging. One traveler noted, “They knew so many secrets about the city, and their enthusiasm was contagious.” Since the tour is conducted in French, a basic understanding of the language helps, but the guide’s storytelling makes up for language gaps for most visitors.

Practical Details: What You Need to Know

The 2.5-hour duration strikes a good balance—long enough to explore several highlights but not so long that it becomes tiring, especially in the heat of summer. Remember to bring water, as suggested by the guides, because Nîmes can get quite hot, particularly from late spring through early fall. The private format means you can pace yourself and linger longer at sites that catch your interest.

Pricing-wise, this tour offers good value for a bespoke experience, especially considering the personal attention from your guide and the ability to skip the typical rushed sightseeing. Since it’s a reserve-and-pay-later booking, you can plan flexibly without upfront commitments.
