Historian extraordinaire!! - Phenomenal history of the area with expert knowledge of the history of beautiful Aix-En-Provance. We feel like we understand the history as well as great tour of local shops and stops and feel much more acquainted with the area. We feel we could walk and talk with Benjamin for days and continue to learn more. We saw where Cezanne grew up and much of his life here in Provance.

Not to be Missed if Going to Aix! - Truly the best tour during our month long stay in Provence. Our charming guide wove historical facts with interesting observations and his multi generational family history in Aix into a fascinating tour of this incredibly beautiful city. Worth every penny and more! Joe, Reynaldo and Bill

Aix marks the spot. It’s a MUST tour! - Benjamin was amazing!! This is a must experience tour. All in English. He makes it personal to him and gets you sharing your own story to connect to the history. He’ll have you laughing in one moment and moved the next. The city is stunning on its own, but he will make you fall in love with this city.
