My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Aix en Provence today. Benjamin was really informative and friendly, you can tell he loves this town ! We actually live here but Benjamin taught us a lot and we discovered new places too. We would totally recommend ! We'll come back with friends and family when they visit. Thanks a million Benjamin.
One of the best experiences of my life, more than recommended visits with Benjamin are a trip through space and time. Fun and enriching.
Fantastic 2 hours Ben was well informed, his communication style was inclusive, relaxed and fun. I learned a lot about the history of Aix. Would definitely recommend this especially if you have just arrived in Aix
