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.

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.
