Great insider information - Our guide Ted took us to the best places for chocolates, macarons, nougat and pralines! But the most amazing sweet was the fresh madeleines! Melt in your mouth and delicious!!! We finished with wine and cheese at Fromagerie du Passage…which we loved! And then he got us into Le Medusa where the food was delicious and the owner chose the wine for us. Highly recommended.

Excellent Tour - Edouard is charming, knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide. He took us around the city, pointing out things that we would never have seen otherwise. The tastings were very authentic and well thought out and he clearly has a good relationship with the owners of the best local establishments in Aix. He gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and could not have been more helpful in letting us know what others things to do in the area and has a great knowledge about all the vineyards etc. Our two hours went really quickly and we got to know Edouard on the tour and he is a genuine lovely guy who has a passion for all things Aix. Highly recommend, thank you for a great tour.

Highlight of AIX - Fantastic tour with a fun and knowledgeable guide. The tastings were thoughtfully selected (and delicious!) and Ted went out of his way to make sure we had a great time along the way. Highly recommend booking a tour with Ted while you're in Aix. This was certainly a highlight of our trip and an easy five star review.

The best tastes of Aix-en-Provence - All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour, Edouard was a great guide who was able to add some of the city's history to our food tour. Everything we sampled was the best quality available and the vendors were obviously happy to see Edouard but also took pleasure in helping us enjoy their products and sample something that we might not otherwise. We returned to many of them to buy a little something to take home. Édouard was great company as well as knowledgeable about the products and was generous with his time. In addition to the tour he recommended local restaurants and boulangeries. We were able to take advantage of several of these recommendations and I believe his opinions are spot on. I am surprised to see that he doesn't have many reviews but have discovered this is because he is new to this platform and indeed has many, many 5 star reviews on other sites. I recommend taking this tour early in your stay in order to make good use of his wonderful suggestions. We return to Paris with our bags stuffed with treats we have discovered on this tour. Merci beaucoup Edouard.
