Top Aix-en-Provence Day Trips

Fantastic tour to visit the mountain villages less than an hour from Aix. Our tour had 6 plus the guide and it was very comfortable modern transportation. Corrine, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. We visited 3 distinct villages and had roughly an hour of free time at each which was enough. This is an amazing tour. Glad we did the half-day 6 hour tour as I feel it was enough. If you haven't already called motion sickness, there are some winding roads in the mountains so consider having medication, but the road weren't too bad. Must do excursion!

Three of the most beautiful cities I’ve visited. Our guide was a Spanish women who had a great knowledge of each town and shared her enthusiasm for each place. She shared great stories and was very friendly. If you have the chance to visit the Van Gogh asylum I’d highly recommend it You’ll have a great time no matter what you do in each town

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.

This was a lovely half day tour. Simple but nice. We had Marian for our tour guide and she was as lovely. It’s about an hour to Cassis from Aix with one stop that gives you stunning views from a cliff overlooking this little coastal town. When you get to Cassis you can get tix for a really beautiful boat ride in and around the nearby islands (that’s what we did) or just eat and shop in town. Very chill and relaxed.

This is an absolute must do when visiting Aix! My wife and I had an amazing time. The ride is doable at any skill level. It’s a wonderful way to see parts of Aix you otherwise wouldn’t. You get to see unreal countryside that inspired Cezanne’s paintings. This tour is cannot be missed!

The little medieval villages of the Luberon district are really worth a day tour. At this time of the year however (late November) they are a bit like ghost towns as most of the shops are closed particularly at Gourds as it is not tourist season and inhabitants tend to leave. But without a lot of tourists it is easier to admire the architecture and landscape. Our guide Remy was great. My only complaint is that we were in a car with 7 of us and as Australians we are used to fresh air and tend to get claustrophobic and uncomfortable in the closed areas with the same hot air circulating. I am an asthmatic and had to ask to move from the back to the front of the car as I was having trouble breathing. I was pleased to get out of the car at the end. We never understand in Europe and America why houses are so closed up and even in our accommodation travelling through Europe when it is 0 degrees outside we need at least a gap in the window to let some fresh air in and the stale air out otherwise we tend to get sick.

Riding in a sidecar was on my bucket list! This was an absolute blast and Eric & George were very informative, professional and safe. We would have gone on another tour with them if we’d had time as it was such an enjoyable way to see the countryside! The winery was a nice stop!

Wonderful get away from Aix en Provence! There was just enough time in Cassis to take the one hour boat ride, get a quick snack, and explore the town a bit. Cassis is beautiful and I’m so glad we went. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and we enjoyed his company very much.
