Food and History Tour in One - Great Experience - This is not just a food tour, it is a food and history tour. I recommend you do this tour on your first day in Aix Au Provence - you will then know the best streets to eat in and the places to visit. We had Anouk as our guide and she was such a delight. She is a foodie and also knows the history of the region so well. When booking the tour, we thought we would have some nibbles at different places. We had an apertif, main course and dessert. We were so full after the tour. It was a really hot day and Anouk took time to make sure we walked at an appropriate pace and in the shade. She is one of the best tour guides we have had.

Excellent food tour and experience - Excellent tour. This tour combines great food, great desserts, fine vinegars and more. Our guide, Inga, was super friendly and had great energy. She created a super-fun experience for the whole group. And she managed to keep all of us together in a very busy city without stress! Well done.

Wonderful food and wine tour in Aix en Provence - Our adult family of four did a walking tour with our guide Inga. She was very knowledgeable of the city and people and had a delightful attitude during our food tour across the town of Aix. We began with a visit to a truffle store where we were introduced to a wide variety of types and ingredients using truffles. We then went to another establishment tasting variety of meats, cheeses and wine, then onto lunch with wine and finished at another store with a choice of a delightful range of desserts and coffees. We would encourage all to use Inga essay guide in both Aix and Marseilles.

Worth every penny for the experience. - This is a great way to explore the old part of town and at the same time try some great stuff. The first stop we did was Signorini tartufi (rue d'Italie) to taste truffle based products. This was a great experience learning about Truffles. The second was great local AIX Rose wine and great pre lunch at Maison d’Amore (place Richelme) for a cheese & charcuterie board & a glass of wine. (Very enjoyable place) Next was a great lunch at la Fromagerie du Passage (Passage Agard) for a main dish & a glass of wine. Last we finished up the tour at Maison Riederer (26 rue Vauvenargues) for a pastry and coffee.🍰 ( Each pastry at the table that was tried by the group was great, carnal, chocolate and great coffee.) We would probably never had tried the variety of food on our own. The tour went by quickly even though we spent 4 hours enjoying time together, learning and enjoying great food. Thank you so much, worth every penny for the tour.

Pittoresque streets with great taste experience - Lovely food tour with a great and very friendly host Inga. 4 stops that gave an excellent taste experience while you discover the small pittoresque streets of Aix-en-Provence. Think truffles, Corsican food and wine, and lovely French patisserie.
