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.

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...
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.
