Perfect introduction to Aix - This tour was great! Suburb way to learn a bit about local specialities as well as gaining knowledge of the city and France in general. Products at each stop were well researched and Ted had a good rapport with staff at each shop which created a genial atmosphere. Ted was affable and well informed regarding a range of topics. His experiences living in Paris and Boston were particularly useful in contrasting anything from baguettes to taxation. We would happily join any of his tours in Aix!

Fun food tastings and a great host - Edouard was a wonderful and knowledgeable host (tour guide) for the food tour. In addition to the fun tastings of chocolate, macarons, wine, cheese and meat, he provided some fun history facts and made the tour really interesting. We really enjoyed the tour and the food!

Just the Best Time! - Édouard was spectacular. Honestly, the best food tour I’ve ever been on. He knows all the gems of the city and even gave surprise tidbits on some of the secrets of Aix. My father and I were so impressed. So worth the nominal price- he’s a gem and his niece, Clementine, was a nice addition to the group on this particular day. Édouard is personable, knowledgeable, and just so fun. I recommend this food tour to anyone who wants to know some of the special treats Aix has to offer. Thank you, Édouard, for adding so much to our stay here.

So-so - This tour was so-so. He was late to arrive at the meeting point and did not tell us about the history of most of what we we tasted in each place. When we sat down to eat the meat and cheese, he left us to run an errand. What we tasted was good, though.

10 Tastings of Aix en Provence; Overpriced! - First of all we (2 couples from California) booked this tour as a private tour that was to begin at 5 pm. We had traveled by train from Paris that day and had not dined in anticipation of the food tour. Earlier in the day we received a message from Edouard that the time was changed to 6 pm and we reluctantly agreed to the new time. Upon meeting Edouard at 6 pm he advised us that he had changed the time because another couple wanted to join the tour but then had cancelled at the last minute! Not a good first impression! Edouard was very friendly and engaging during the tour but constantly moved away from us to smoke which was very annoying. We visited the Puyricard chocolate store where we each had 1 piece of chocolate. We then had a macaron from Caroline’s, a delicious madeleine from Christophe's and pralines from Monsieur Praline Aix en Provence. We then visited Epicerie aux Huiles and tasted regional olive oils. Lastly, Edourd took us to Le Vieux tonneau where the 5 of us shared 2 appetizers, a small charcuterie board, and a bottle of red wine. The tour was advertised as ’The 10 Tastings of Aix en Provence’ for which we paid $105 per person. For that price we each had; 1 piece of chocolate, 1 macaron, 1 madeleine, 4 pralines, and 3 olive oils. I guess that’s 10 tastings, but we expected a lot more for $105 per person. We would not recommend this tour as it was way over priced.
