Very good tour. Our guide showed lots of patience and carried on in the extreme heat. Happy that we went.
This tour was the perfect break for myself and my colleagues during a long week of meetings. Our guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and witty, and brought us to places we would never have found on our own. 100% recommend to anyone interested in the history and culture of this wonderful place.
It was great experience, the guide knew the stuff and he showed us many places and told us a lot about the places and suggested restaurants, sun set points, famous things to try.
With the small narrow streets of AIX, I highly recommend getting this tour to familiarize oneself with the city
Polite young student with very little knowledge of Aix en Provence history, sights, culture or tourism. One hour into walking tour all 4 of us chose to opt out and discover on own. When asked a question his response was invariably “I don’t know”. Never had this experience with Viator/Tripadvisor in all our travels. We really should be refunded as guide wasn’t interviewed by company.
I highly recommend this tour. It was an unforgettable experience. We were in the most beautiful and interesting places. Our guide explained us all the stories and suggested the best places to go for lunch and dinner.
Fantastic experience! Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. An authentic walk where I learned a lot and have much fun. I’m a solo traveler and that allowed me to meet new people and to get to know some sweet spot. Totally recommended!
