We enjoyed our time with Fabienne. We discovered beautiful architecture and fountains and got to know a little bit about a very charming city. We enjoyed the local specialities, and we found Fabienne to be a knowledgeable and engaging guide. She is a wonderful ambassador for Aix.

We had a great time with Fabienne. Our meeting spot was easy to find, and we found her to be knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. We tasted a variety of local specialties, and we walked around Aix and saw stunning fountains and architecture. The afternoon flew by and made us realize we needed to return to Aix to spend more time.

Fabienne was a wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable guide for our group! She surprised us with a lovely assortment of pastries and explained so much about the history and symbolism found in the town as we walked. We had a lovely lunch of local breads, meats, cheeses and beverages! Great day!

Fabienne was friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed walking through Aix and learning the history. I think, compared to other tours we had taken, we expected more food. It was an enjoyable time, and we would recommend it to others, with caveats.

Another 5-star review for Fabienne...who truly made our short stay in Aix-en-Provence so memorable. She kindly arranged a transfer for us from the train station so that we could take the morning tour, which was when the market was thriving! She generously treated us to breads, cheeses and wine of Aix and took us to several of her favorite shops to experience some of the specialties of Aix. Fabienne beautifully shared her knowledge of the history and culture of Aix as we toured this beautiful city and made our short stay in Aix truly enjoyable. One of our favorite tours!

Wonderful morning spent with Fabienne. She took us to all of the significant sites in old Aix and gave us great insight into its history. We had lots of stops at local food shops to taste the local specialties and sat and had wine and cheese just bought at the market. I highly recommend her tour to anyone new to Aix-en-Provence!

This is an excellent tour. Fabienne is a knowledgable and interesting guide who has designed an excellent overview of the tastes and tales of Aix-en-Provence. She emailed us prior to the tour, providing a reminder and the necessary meeting info. She answered our many questions about life in Aix/France today and in the past. We visited several interesting sites buried in the neighborhoods of old Aix. We enjoyed a variety of uniquely local tastes, including the surprisingly good calisson candy from Aix's history. We really enjoyed our half-day with Fabienne.

We had a lovely walking tour with Fabienne. She was very knowledgable about the history and culture of Aix and was a fun tour guide through the beautiful city. We saw markets, churches and lovely gardens. She made some selections cheese, sausage, bread and rose wine near the end of the tour and also helped us with recommendations for the remainder of our trip in the south of France. I would highly recommend this tour. Five stars.
