Our food tour in France was an unforgettable experience! Thomas, our guide, was exceptional – incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate about French cuisine. He took us to some amazing local spots that we never would have found on our own, each with its own unique story and delicious offerings.
We sampled a wide variety of French delicacies, from artisanal cheeses and freshly baked bread to exquisite pastries and coffee. Thomas explained the history and preparation of each dish, making the experience both educational and delicious. He also provided great recommendations for restaurants and shops to explore on our own.
The tour was well-organized, the pace was perfect, and Thomas's friendly and engaging personality made it a truly memorable experience. If you're looking for an authentic and delightful food tour in France, I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Thomas!

The food and the guide were great. Cindy, our guide had a lovely manner and was very knowledgeable. The food stores she showed us were amazing, as was the fruit and vegetable market in the town centre. Eating it in the quiet surround of a fountain plaza was also delightful.

It was a great opportunity to try many of the local delicacies, and enjoy the local market with some history and local facts mixed in. Be sure to arrive hungry as you will quickly be full with all of the delightful tastings.

Don’t eat breakfast. Lots of delicious, local food to taste provided. Fun. Informative. Lovely, caring guide. She went the extra mile. Only suggestion fis to take this tour at the beginning of your time in Aix. Useful orientation to the market, bakeries, cafes, and food you may want to purchase.

Exploration of Aix-en-Provence to taste local products. It is very pleasant to take this tour on Saturday when the great market of Aix-en-Provence is open. Our guide Azza was really great. I recommend this experience to discover the delights of Provence.
