Great tour, superb guide! - My daughter and I would not have enjoyed our time in Aix as much as we did if we hadn’t taken Edouard’s tour. It was riveting - full of history, special stories, and details that made us understand the city’s beauty and interesting past. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions thoroughly. His tour is a must! Do it at the beginning of your stay so you get a full picture of Aix.

Aix-en-Provence tour with Ted/Edouard - We very much enjoyed the walking tour with Edouard (Ted). He is easy to understand as he speaks French like a Frenchman and English like an American. The tour proceeded at a steady but unhurried pace. Edouard not only provided the history and explanations of the various types of architecture but also pointed out some of the less obvious but interesting city treasures. He was very accommodating answering everyone’s questions. He recommended restaurants, bakeries, patisseries, and a shop that sells Madeleines. I later went back for some Madeleines and was glad I did. I wholeheartedly recommend Edouard/Ted’s tour.

A wonderful way to discover Aix en Provence - Having only passed through briefly before this visit, this tour was a brilliant way to scratch the surface and discover the real heart of Aix en Provence. As an unabashed foodie, I really enjoyed learning about the origins of the famous Calisson (and of course buying some to taste for myself) as well as having brilliant restaurants pointed out along the way. Ted was super patient and interesting, offering up lots of little bits of knowledge and context as we walked around. I had briefly studied Cezanne in college so getting to explore his town was amazing, and Ted made it a really fun, learning experience. I highly recommend!

Great way to experience Aix - We had a wonderful time with Edouard on the treasure hunt. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the city, as well as tips for some of the best food and markets as we walked around town. It was a great overview of the city for my husband and me, and the treasure hunt kept my four year old engaged as we covered a lot of ground. He was so excited that we actually found a treasure at the end!

Treasure hunt in Aix - The treasure hunt in Aix en Provence was so much fun not just for me as an adult but also for my two young daughters. The clues were easy to follow and the description made by Édouard of each place we stopped at made the experience so much richer. Thank you Édouard for such an amazing experience. Your love for this city and your knowledge of it all made us appreciate Aix even more!
