Great tour - We actually did a 3 hour tour of Aix en Provence. We trained in for the day from Lyon, met Benjamin at the tourist center. Benjamin has a great sense of humor and knowledge of Aix! We really enjoyed our time and would heartily recommend Benjamin!

Best! Absolutely worth it, and more! - We’ve had walking tours in many cities. This is by far the best one ever. Lots of history, including how Benjamin’s personal and family history tied into Aix’s and Provence’s history. Very illuminating, and we definitely appreciated the humor! Put on some good walking shoes, however: we got in about 10,000 steps!

Aix history, culture, architecture with a fabulous guide - We have been on a number of Viator tours. We really appreciate it when our guide comes prepared and is passionate about his or her topic. Benjamin met both of those criteria bigtime! He’s traveled the world and has come back to Aix, and he wants you to understand why Aix is so special, in its ancient and more recent history, its architecture, its culture, its food and people, and its home and inspiration to Cezanne. He is very knowledgeable, shares his knowledge (with his special yellow binder) in an interesting and humorous way, and welcomed questions. I learned a lot (and hope I’ll retain it!). His tour was one of the highlights of our 10 day trip to Provence. By the way, Aix is absolutely beautiful and we wished we had used it as our base to explore the area.

Best history tour this side of the Atlantic - I am a girl who loves her history tour, and this tour with Benjamin was maybe the best history tour I've ever had! Benjamin, being partly British, has fluent English, which was very helpful for your mono-lingual American lol. He's funny, full of information, and added a personal touch to his tour that really took it above and beyond. Would recommend 100%!
