Wholeheartedly recommended - Benjamin is an excellent guide... Funny, knowledgeable, professional, relatable... And has a lot of heart. His tour takes you through history, architecture, religion and anecdotes. It's very thorough and we were just delighted. His perspective is one with deep family roots in the city, but also with the distance of someone who has traveled extensively and lived in other places. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Walking Tour Aix en Provence - My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Benjy. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Aix en Provence and was very engaging. We were fortunate to be just the two of us so we had ample opportunity to ask him questions on a variety of topics, which he was happy to answer. We have been on other walking tours where the guide would mainly concentrate on covering limited topics (such as focusing on the architecture) but we found that Benjy was able to provide insight on a variety of topics related to the city, including the long and varied history, the architecture, society, cuisine/food, art, etc. You would be fortunate to have him as your guide.

Good way to get one’s bearings - Friendly guide, good stories, was easy to meet up and find. Lots of history, perhaps a bit too much, but appreciate the enthusiasm and friendliness.
