5.00The 3 hour guided tour by Ben was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of Aix-en-Provence we would never have found. Our small group of 4 was very impressed with this tour. Ben suggested eating places and we actually went to one for lunch that day and it was excellent. Overall we highly recommend this tour.
Highly, highly recommend!

5.00Ivanna was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We enjoyed our trip to Aix much more than if we had just wondered around town!

5.00This was a great tour. Ben was our guide. He’s knowledgeable, fun, friendly. The sites he took us to were already interesting, and then they became additionally interesting with the information/stories Ben shared with us.
Loved this tour!

5.00Very much enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Ivanna, was extremely knowledgeable about Aix en Provence and took us to many beautiful and interesting places. We had my two teenage daughters along, and Ivanna kept them engaged throughout the two hours (not easy to do with teens on a historical walking tour!). We especially enjoyed visiting the cathedral and learning about the art within. Highly recommended!
Ivanna is a splendid guide, bursting with knowledge, fun and personality

5.00I took the tour with the wonderful Ivanna, a fount of dazzling information, history and tidbits about modern Aix — a panoramic picture in a brisk, packed two hours. She knows her stuff and dispenses it with charm, wit and enthusiasm. She will tell you about the kings and cathedrals and where to get the best gelato. A totally Aix-cellent experience!
