Ivanna did a great job of showing us around Aix. The balance of history and sightseeing was just right, and Ivanna had lot of great info to share. It was a very hot day and she did a good job of keeping us interested and in the shade whenever possible. The pacing was excellent, we never felt rushed yet we covered a lot of ground.

My husband and I loved this walking tour. Ivanna gave us an incredible overview of the city. Her historical perspective on the various areas of the center city made us look at this beautiful city in a different light. We can see her passion about the history of Aix. Ivanna’s stories about key people and places also made the history come to life. This tour at the beginning of our trip allowed us to get so much more out of our visit! I highly recommend!

Our guide Ben was super nice and friendly. He sent a group text before meeting to make sure everyone was running on time. He gave us a great overview of the city and mixed in a lot of history, fun facts and personal stories
This was by far one of the best tours I’ve ever had!!
Matthew_P, May 2026
Outstanding and entertaining introduction to Aix-en-Provence. The tour exposes the layers of history that are found in this beautiful city, but that one can only discover with an expert guide. Try to book this trip at the beginning of a visit to Aix-en-Provence to take advantage of the excellent restaurant and site seeing recommendations.
Gloria_P, May 2026
Wonderful and informative tour. Ivanna was knowledgeable and very professional. She provided great insight to the history of Aix en Provence. Highly recommend this tour.
Steven_N, May 2026
Excellent tour. There were lots of things to discover—things I might not have found on my own—and lots to learn about Aix: its geography, history, and ethos. This tour created a meaningful context for the rest of my visit, giving me a better sense of what to look for, how to see it, and what it means. I could not have had a better tour guide.
Steve_L, May 2026

Peter_a, Apr 2026
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.

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!!
Mira_D, Sep 2025
Ben was excellent, knowledgeable, entertaining, and flexible -we were running late and he made sure we didn’t miss a thing.
