    A very personal tour

    Cynthia_R, Mar 2026
    Caroline was a wonderful guide for my first day in Aix. As someone who has lived and raised her family in Aix, she knows all the nooks and crannies, not just the major sights. I was grateful to know where to find the public toilets, the library (for a quiet morning to catch up on correspondence) , authentic cafes, and shops for unique souvenirs. As a solo traveler, I was grateful for Carolyn’s follow up messages to help increase my enjoyment of Aix.

    Enchanting tour of Aix

    Kathleen_K, Feb 2026
    Fantastic tour! We had a wonderful tour of Aix-en-Provence with Caroline. She was incredibly engaging and enthusiastic from start to finish, which made the experience both informative and fun. What really stood out was how attentive she was to our five-year-old—she kept him entertained the entire time while still delivering a rich and detailed tour for the adults. Caroline’s attention to detail was amazing. She pointed out fascinating features of the buildings, took us inside several of them, and shared details we never would have noticed on our own. She is kind, funny, and clearly passionate about her city. Even before the tour, she was excellent with communication and reached out on WhatsApp with thoughtful recommendations for restaurants and kid-friendly activities. It was clear she genuinely wanted us to have a great time in Aix-en-Provence. We truly had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend her.

    Bonjour Kathleen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am truly happy if I helped make your time in Aix-en-Provence special and create beautiful memories for Jojo when he's older . He is such a lovely boy! You are such a sweet family, and I had a great time exploring Aix with you . I also really enjoyed talking about Florida -it brought back great memories of my time working at Epcot years ago ...it also reminds me of the manatees ! Take care, and enjoy the rest of your trip discovering the beauty of France!

    Wonderful city tour of Aix-en-Provence

    Theodore_L, Dec 2025
    Caroline is an outstanding guide - very personable, enthusiastic, and highly prepared. She grew up in the region and uses personal recollection and photographs to allow comparisons of past and present. Sĥe pointed out important details and led us into spaces we otherwise would have overlooked. She adds many stories and histories along the way. The tour added immeasurably to our appreciation of this beautiful city.

    Our Time in Aix-en-Provence

    Therese_C, May 2025
    Caroline was a wealth of knowledge. She enjoyed sharing her town and history with us. She was very enthusiastic. She had pictures and maps of what she was showing us from the past and how it has changed. She was extremely helpful in getting us to our restaurant reservation. She made a phone call for us … since there were 2 restaurants with the same name. We had asked our Viking Cruise Representative to make the reservation for us, but he never gave us the address.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Hi Therese and Ron ! Thank you so much for your nice feedback ! I am so happy you enjoyed the tour and I could be helpful with your restaurant reservation ... That was very nice meeting you and talking about your travels experiences . I wish you a wonderful cruise ! Take care ! Caroline

    Custom-made tour after our needs, bilingual

    Anna_P, Nov 2024
    We had an amazing time with Caroline! She really created a custom-made tour for us: a Swedish couple that wanted a mix of English and French, and she adapted the tour after our interests, questions and physics (a bit slower walking pace). The tour is very professional - she brought maps, books and pictures to show us, and she really devoted her time to us. :-) Besides all the vivid info about history, archtecture, art and traditions, she replied to all our odd questions we had about contemporary life in Aix, since one of us has lived in Aix a looong time ago - un grand MERCI pour ça Caroline, le tour était un vrai souvenir d’Aix! ♡ We are so grateful! // Anna & Anders

    Response from Host, Nov 2024
