Fabienne was exceptional in touring us on a walking tour in Aix-en-Provence. Her educational explanations of the history was so well explained and use of visual pictures as well. The combination with local food selections was delightful. She is so pleasant to be with and we felt like we knew her for years. Don’t hesitate to book with her.
Fabienne gave us a fun and informative tour of Aix. It was a great way to get to know the city. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
Fabienne was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area and introduced us to a range of great cheeses and delicacies. Thanks! ☺️
The tour was fabulous. Fabienne, the guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The group was small and we got along very well. We learned a great deal about the city and its history, as well as seeing the many beautiful sites. The food stops were interesting - sampled some of the local candy specialties, as well as going to a bakery and getting savory and sweet treats and rose [wine]. A great experience and highly recommended.
My husband and I truly loved this fantastic tour given by Fabienne. We learned so much from her and she had a beautiful way of blending the historical information with fun places to stop for a bite of the local specialties along the way! She also helped us with our questions on taxis and trains, as we needed easier routes than we were taking. She was so kind and helpful! I highly recommend Fabienne and her tour and I think she would be great doing cooking classes as well! Lisa and Rino Caruccio
