Amazing tour of Aix! - Benjamin was an amazing tour guide! It was a mixture of informative and lighthearted information about the wonderful city of Aix-en-Provence. We loved being shown the city by someone whose family has been here for generations, and the small group made it very accessible for everyone on the tour. Would absolutely recommend Benjamin’s tour to anyone visiting Aix and looking to learn about this beautiful city!
