What a fantastic way to see Aix for the first time. We arrived and met Benjamin for a wonderful, engaging, insightful tour of Aix and its history. So much fun and thoroughly enjoyed uncovering all the little known facts. Benny was an abundance of knowledge and he led the tour with so much humor and fun - great recommendations for food as well!! Highly recommend!!

An excellent and informative tour. Benjamin made the tour interesting with real information about AIP during the war, the current state and the history overall. Hit all the highlights at a good pace to enjoy the day. Our group was small and a bit quiet but Benjamin worked to get everyone involved. Beautiful town, worth the trip.

Our walking tour with Benjamin was superb. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and character of Aix-en-Provence and he conveys it in a lively and entertaining way. We saw and learned so much more than when we were just wandering around unguided.

I usually try and do some kind of food or walking tour when I arrive in a new place so I can get a sense of the place and also learn about the area.
I highly recommend this tour with Benjamin. He was such a great tour guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour, so over the 3 hours of walking the old city, the tour was great fun and the information he shared about the history of Aix was really interesting.
