The 3 hour guided tour by Ben was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of Aix-en-Provence we would never have found.
Our small group of 4 was very impressed with this tour. Ben suggested eating places and we actually went to one for lunch that day and it was excellent.
Overall we highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour. Ben was our guide. He’s knowledgeable, fun, friendly. The sites he took us to were already interesting, and then they became additionally interesting with the information/stories Ben shared with us.

Aix-en-Provence is a beautiful city rich in history. And our guide was excellent at making that history come alive. It was an easy stroll through the city, with frequent stops to learn interesting facts and stories from both the past and the present. I would highly recommend.
Barrington_L, Sep 2025
What a wonderful guided tour of the historic city of Axe-en-Provence. Full of current events and happenings and cultural and historic background. I would recommend this tour to anyone spending a few days in Axe...or as a day trip from Marseille (a quick 35 minute train ride between the two cities and the trains run every hour). The made me want to make another trek to Provence!!

Ben was excellent, knowledgeable, entertaining, and flexible -we were running late and he made sure we didn’t miss a thing.

It was a pleasure having you join me Larry! Aix is full of hidden gems, and I'm so glad I could share them with you. Merci!
Cristina_C, Apr 2025
Really educational tour of Aix with my tween. Benjamin was great with kids and really inclusive. He was patient because it was rainy and cold, but he has such interesting details and observations on the history of both Aix and its influence on the region. We got loads of steps in and saw much more of Aix than we had seen in the past 2 days. I wish we had done the tour on the first rather than the last day. Ben helped us understand why Aix has a difference dialect and why Aix urban fabric is so well preserved. His own family history is rich and diverse and I think he's so good with kids because he's a dad.
Response from Host, May 2025
Your feedback made my day! Thank you for trusting AixTours to show you around our beautiful city.
Christia_H, Mar 2025

We had more than two hours of FUN, FACTS, TRIVIA and some FANTASTIC STORY-TELLING. Benjamin is not the typical tour guide: he’s RELATABLE and ENGAGING and fun to be with.
Thanks for a GREAT TIME Benjamin!
