This was an excellent tour. Guide was knowledgeable, funny and had personal insights about the city. Highly recommend
What a lovely tour! Ivanna was an exceptional tour guide and very personable. After having several various city tours around the South of France during the week, Ivanna’s tour of Aix was the most thorough and educational. She spent two hours reviewing everything from early city establishment, to cultural and architectural evolution, covering local art history, incorporating stories (including historical scandals!) with facts regarding architecture, and pointing out and explaining important city land marks. It was a well-researched and well-paced tour with just enough information on each topic, yet welcomed questions with ready responses. Ivanna was in communication with us the week and day of the tour to confirm times and meeting locations, which was appreciated. Also offered her favorite restaurants and good stores. She made the afternoon very enjoyable and we left Aix with a better understanding of the town and culture than just wandering around on our own with guide book would have offered. Recommend bringing a water bottle in the summer heat, parking garage Rotonde for central town access for those driving in for a day trip. I cannot recommend this tour enough!
It is a great tour to do as a family. It was personalized based on the fact that we had young children.
my guide, Ivanna, was very educated, charming and knowledgeable. therefore, it was incredibly informative and delightful. I felt she took the time to prepare and make the tour enjoyable for everyone!
Ivanna was superb—very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. It was a hot day and she was super-considerate, always finding places to stop in the shade. The pace of the tour was both lively and relaxed—she never once made us feel rushed. I highly recommend her!
Ivanna was a great guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. She made our stay in Aix more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Ivanna did a great job of showing us around Aix. The balance of history and sightseeing was just right, and Ivanna had lot of great info to share. It was a very hot day and she did a good job of keeping us interested and in the shade whenever possible. The pacing was excellent, we never felt rushed yet we covered a lot of ground.
Wonderful tour with fun, funny and knowledgeable guide Benjamin. Highly recommended! We’ve done quite a few city walking tours and this was great.
Benjamin did a wonderful job on our tour of Aix. He kept it light and funny as well as passing down the area history.
