We will weave in and out of shady picturesque alleyways in the historical center of Aix. We will observe fountains, houses, buildings, statutes, gardens and other interesting spots and tell the stories of the people who lived and died there, of those who fought for love – and won or lost.

She gave us history of Aix, showed us several points of interest, as well as told funny stories of historical residents. It was a thorough, fun and informative tour.

5.00We had a tour with Sarit before in Toulon and really enjoyed it. So when we booed Aix it was a total coincidence that we got her again. The pace of the tour is perfect and she is very knowledgeable and departs that is an easy fun and memorable way. We are big fans!

5.00Sintra was an excellent guide and was able to provide us with a great overview of AIX. We got lucky and it was just the two of us so we basically had a private tour.
Great visit to the Old City

5.00My husband and I had a very enjoyable introduction to the historical center of Aix. The combination of facts and stories of the people who used to live in the buildings made the history come alive. We also appreciated tips on how to find good local specialties of food, market products, etc., especially helpful since it was a market day.
Book the tour! A MUST!!

5.00My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sarit. This was our first time in Aix-en-Provence, and the 2.5 hour tour introduced us to the history and interesting figures of the city. Sarit was engaging and her stories about the city’s history, buildings, and figures were memorable. She also answered all the questions we had. Highly recommend this tour
