Arles 2-Hour Private Walking Tour: Customize Your Route

Two hours is enough to see the Roman core and still have time to chase what catches your eye.

A 2-hour private walking tour of Arles's historic center with a local guide in your choice of language. You start at the Roman amphitheater from the 1st century, then move through the Antique Theatre and Obelisk. The guide adjusts the route based on what you want to explore. The tour suits anyone who wants to move at their own pace and skip the sites that don't interest them.

The experience

Two hours is tight enough to keep the tour focused but long enough to cover the main Roman sites without rushing. You'll begin at the exterior of the amphitheater, built in the 1st century, then walk to the Antique Theatre and the Arles Obelisk. These are the landmarks most visitors come to see, and they're all within the historic center on foot.

The guide is local and speaks your language: French, English, Spanish, Italian, or German, depending on which option you book. Because this is a private tour, you're not locked into a fixed itinerary. If you want to linger at one site or skip ahead to something else, you tell the guide and the route shifts. That flexibility is the whole point: you move at your own rhythm, not the group's.

Arles has museums like the Musée de la Camargue and Musée Réaltu, and several buildings are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but entry to any of them is separate. The tour covers the exterior sights and the walking route itself. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it, and the terrain suits all fitness levels.

What's the Roman amphitheater in Arles actually like when you get there?

The amphitheater dates to the 1st century and you see the exterior as part of the walking route. It's one of the best-preserved Roman structures in the city and the tour starts there, so you get a sense of its scale and age before moving on to the other sites.

Can I change what we see during the tour if I don't like the planned route?

Yes. This is a private tour, so if you want to see something else or skip a stop, you tell your guide and the itinerary adjusts. The guide knows the city and can suggest alternatives based on what interests you.

Do I need to buy tickets to get into the amphitheater or the other sites?

Entry tickets are not included in the tour price. The tour covers the walking route and the exterior views. If you want to go inside any attraction, that's a separate purchase.
