Everytime great

Andy_M, Sep 2025

We had a tour with Sarit before in Toulon and really enjoyed it. So when we booed Aix it was a total coincidence that we got her again. The pace of the tour is perfect and she is very knowledgeable and departs that is an easy fun and memorable way. We are big fans!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the palace, etc. Wine tasting was wonderful. And our guide gave us a great restaurant recommendation. I think his name is Nicholas.

Excellent tour guide

Margarita_G, Jul 2025

Very knowledgable tour guide Sarit. We enjoyed the tour and her recommendations. We were able to go to different markets on a Saturday morning. The church visit is a must.

Informative history tour

Sarit was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history of the area. It was a well spent morning walking wit her and learning about Aix-en-Provence. Highly recommend it.

Wonderful Tour of Aix

Kelsey_K, Sep 2023

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sarit. This was our first time in Aix-en-Provence, and the 2.5 hour tour introduced us to the history and interesting figures of the city. Sarit was engaging and her stories about the city’s history, buildings, and figures were memorable. She also answered all the questions we had. Highly recommend this tour

Kudos in Provence

Bonnie_D, Jun 2023

We had a great experience with Sarit. She was quite knowledgeable and her stories about Aix were so engaging that we returned to some of the sites she introduced for a more in-depth experience! Kudos in Provence!

Great Tour

Great tour. Really loved the city and saw so many things that we would have missed without our guide.

Wonderful tour of Aix-en-Provence with Sarit

Richard_C, Dec 2022

Loved our morning with Sarit. Communication was excellent. She was on time and spoke perfect English. The tour was entertaining and educational. We loved learning about the history of the town and its buildings. She even gave us dining tips. Great value for the money. Highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Richard! Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was really a pleasure spending the morning with you and your wife in Aix. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Sarit

Great Guide!

Alan_S, Nov 2022

Having a knowledgeable guide made all the difference. Not only was she aware of modern Aix-en-Provence, she was well versed on local history and lore.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Alan, Aix is one of my favourite places to guide. What a legend ! Thank you for coming and for your review. Sarit

Amazing tour and guide.

ChuckBrimmer, Oct 2022

Amazing tour with huge amounts of pertinent information. The tour could not have organized. Lots of useful tips about the area.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you very much Chuck! Was really fun for me wandering the old city with you guys :-)

Knowledgeable guide and excellent tour.

Angela_L, Oct 2021

The tour with Sarit was excellent. Word of advice - make a request for her personally. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Aix en Provence. However, unlike other tours I’ve been on, she really gave life to the characters and historical figures upon which the history of Aix en Provence is based. We were taken to many, hidden locations around town that were filled with tales and which we never would’ve discovered on our own. We also went to markets and stores and were able sample typical Provençal fare (which also come with their own colourful stories). In terms of practicalities, the pick-up spot was easy and she was on-time. The pace of the tour was perfect. I would highly recommend her as a guide.
