Description

What if we went back 2,000 years?

For 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will explore Nîmes' must-see sites: the Tour Magne, the Jardins de la Fontaine, the Temple of Diana, the Maison Carrée, and the Arena.

But here, no endless lists of dates and proper names! We will go back in time through local anecdotes, unusual details and the secrets that the old stones still have to tell us.

A lively, accessible tour, full of humor and deeply human, to understand Nîmes without needing to be a historian, with a guide who is passionate about sharing heritage.

Includes

  • A passionate guide with a background in archaeology, specializing in cultural mediation
  • A guided walking tour of Nîmes in a small group
  • The highlights of the Roman city
  • Stories and anecdotes that bring the monuments to life

Excludes

Admission to the monuments is not included. This choice is intentional: including entrance fees would double the duration and the price of the tour. At Didasko, we are committed to making culture and heritage accessible to as many people as possible. You will therefore be free to choose the monuments you wish to visit after the tour, based on our recommendations, your preferences, your schedule, and your budget.

Important Information

  • A little tip from the guide: Remember to bring water! The sun in Nîmes can be very strong, especially in summer. To fully enjoy your walk without getting overheated, don't forget your water bottle. Stay well hydrated, and your visit to the ancient city will be a real pleasure, without any sudden fatigue!
