Fabienne was very helpful and went the extra mile on getting my dinner venue settled as well as my question on night buses back to Marseilles. The half day walk about was informative and enjoyable with a coffee break later on.

Fabienne's tour of Aix-en-Provence was definitely the highlight of our stay! She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and well-prepared, and we felt comfortable with her right away. Her love of the city really shows, and makes this tour something special. We really learned a lot about the unique history of Aix-en-Provence, and saw it in a whole new light afterwards. We also loved the culinary aspects - sampling the amazing local products from the market while taking a break from walking with a nice glass of Rosé. Fabienne also went above and beyond, helping us with recommendations for other activities to check out on the rest of our stay. She even helped us find a great restaurant to eat at later that day over WhatsApp! I really can't recommend this tour highly enough to anyone visiting Aix-en-Provence.
