A fantastic experience - As someone who is interested in the history of places, I really enjoyed this tour, as it was full of interesting historical information about Aix-en-Provence. The guide also allowed me to experience the local culture and atmosphere in a way that is impossible from inside a tour bus or car. The tour also provided an opportunity to engage with locals, ask questions, and gain insider knowledge about the area. Highly recommended!

Well Curated Walking Tour of Aix-en-Provence - This was the perfect way to see a bit of the city while also learning some fun facts along the way. The tour is the perfect amount of time to get an understanding of the history as well as some things to explore within the city. Benjamin was awesome! He has a deep knowledge of Aix and he kept the tour fun and interesting. He balanced his knowledge with a great sense of humor which made the tour more fun. He is passionate about the area given his family connections so there were some personal touches during the tour that I appreciated. I highly recommend booking Benjamin!

Lovely Aix Tour - Loved the tour of Aix with Benjamin. Wonderful summary of the history and charm of the city with lots of humor and sarcasm - great way to start our trip here. He is primarily a teacher so also hands out stickers - bring your trivia game!

Fun and Educational Tour - My 14 year old and I were the only ones who signed up for the 10:30am tour, so we enjoyed it being a private tour. Benjamin did a great job of explaining the history of Aix and kept my 14 year old interested. We heard stories ranging from the early settlements in the area, Roman occupation, Knights Templar, and WW2 Resistance. I highly recommend the tour for anyone interested in learning more about the history of Aix.
