Our guide was terrific. Knowledgeable and engaging. We learned so much about the history of Aix en Provence and his narrative brought that history to life. Highly recommend this guide and the 3 hour tour.
Christopher had an easy conversational tone in describing his city and we enjoyed seeing and learning without the feeling of being lectured to. Tour is a little pricey but we found it worthwhile and recommend it. Much to see and admire.
Christopher is friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. He made us feel like we were visiting an old friend. Even though we had been to Aix before, we learned insights and experiences that were so worthwhile. Would definitely recommend.
Laurent was an amazing guide! He was extremely knowledgeable (and flexible, given our two small children); his expertise in art and architecture was evident at each turn during our stroll as he educated us on the history of Aix. What a perfect way to become acclimated in this beautiful city! I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
A wonderful guide!! Great information and so charming to spend fours hours with. Gave us special attention.
Loved the 1-on-1 experience, learning a lot about Aix, and seeing the town. A great intro to a place I had never been before. Laurent even bought me a coffee halfway through the tour! If you're thinking about maybe doing this, don't hesitate to sign up. It's well worth it.
Christopher from OohProvence delivered a very enjoyable and extensive tour of Aix-en-Provence. He took us all over the city, and pointed out details that we would never have noticed. His unflagging energy and interest in history was contagious! With the private tour for just the two of us, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the afternoon with an extremely knowledgeable friend. Thank you, Christopher!
I made a last minute detour to Aix-en-Provence in February, hoping to explore Cezanne's footsteps and the city. To my chagrin, everything was closed for low season and there wasn't much I could see/do. Since I was short on time, I frantically looked for a tour so that my visit wouldn't be in vain. Christopher accommodated my last minute booking for a half-day tour (made the night before) and met me the next morning. The tour was a thorough, overview of the history of the city. Christopher took me all over the city on foot and answered every question I had about Aix-en-Provence and France in general. I highly recommend this tour or any tour that OohProvence provides.
Chris from Ooh Provence was superior in every way. Gave us a private custom tour. We are history buffs and he was able to answer all of our questions. If not, he emailed us later with links to give us more information. We got lost on the way to meet him so he came to us. Helped us find our car at the end of the tour. If you want a custom tour Chris is the best.
Our half day tour with Laurent was absolutely wonderful. He is extremely knowledgable, wonderfully amusing and guided us through parts of Aix that we would have never discovered on our own. We have forgotten many our our guided tours. This one we will remember.
Although my husband and I know a great deal about France (having lived for 2 years in Paris and taking nearly annual trips in the country since 1985), we learned a lot about the history of Aix-en-Provence that we didn't know and did so with a very knowledgeable and charming guide, Christopher. With only one other couple along and a nice, relaxed pace we could enjoy what he pointed out to us and stop and engage in questions and discussions about the topic. Rather than rote delivery that you so often see with tour guides, Christopher's approach made it seem he was just delivering his extensive knowledge to 4 of his best friends in a natural and charming way. In addition, he offered some cool tips for street photography (my photos applying some of his suggestions are attached to this review). My husband and I rarely do tours, finding them a bit boring but this one, so glad we did it! Thank you, Christopher!
When I booked this tour, I imagined that the "private tour" would include just a few more individuals than those in our party of 3. However, when Laurent told us it was just us we couldn't believe it! We had a wonderful time being shown Old, and some of New, town Aix-en-Provence. Laurent took an incredible amount of time with us and allowed us to modify his planned itinerary with an excellent lunch in the middle of it all! While at lunch, we really had a unique opportunity to talk with Laurent at length about a variety of topics concerning France, Europe and the U.S. The entire day was a very special experience and a highlight of our trip!
We could not be more please / happy with our tour of Aix-en-Provence with Christopher. Christopher is very knowledgeable about the history and the city of Aix-en-Provence . We were able to cover a lot of territory at a very enjoyable / fun pace. Also as a bonus Christopher was a professional photographer and gave us very valuable photo advice. We highly recommend this tour and will use Christopher in any other available future tours in the future.
We had a fantastic time strolling around the old town of Aix with Chris. He is knowledgeable, and has a deep love for Aix and the region that is contagious. An architecture aficionado, he is the best at pointing out priceless treasures around Aix that would otherwise go unnoticed. Chris, thank you for an amazing tour of Aix! We most certainly want to come back soon.
Pleasant Provençal-style town, with a beautiful centre. Beautiful buildings and beautiful streets. The cathedral with adjoining baptistery (now incorporated) is interesting and presents an almost unique example of an immersion baptismal font (5th century)! Unpleasant surprise upon returning from the tour: glass breaking in the car! NB: the kind guy from France Parabrise, who worked for free to place the cellophane, told us that they break tens every day! I will NOT go back!!
I've been to Aix a lot for 30 years. It was a sleepy city that seems to have woken up for ten years in particular in its architecture. Reaction of many buildings. Electric buses (with very few passengers in them) new centers dedicated to leisure. Very interesting. There remains a black spot: cleanliness even if there is a clear improvement (trash in the streets of the center in the middle of the afternoon. Lots of dog poop all over the place). This very young city enjoying a magnificent climate must at all costs encourage the establishment of activities bringing work in cutting-edge sectors (aeronautics, IT, microelectronics, pharmacy, etc...)
