⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ted is hands down the best tour guide in Aix-en-Provence! His deep knowledge of the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the experience truly unforgettable. Ted’s passion for sharing the beauty of Aix is evident in every detail, from the charming anecdotes he shares to the off-the-beaten-path spots he introduced us to. His warm personality and professionalism made the entire tour feel both informative and personal. If you’re visiting Aix-en-Provence, booking a tour with Ted is an absolute must. Highly recommend!Great guide

Edouard was charming. His English was perfect. His overall knowledge of the city - its history, its notable buildings, its shops and shopkeepers - was exceptional.

Very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. Tried to get to know the group. Excellent English. Offered many suggestions of restaurants and sites to see. However: Was supposed to be from 10:30-1:30 and instead was started early at 10AM but finished at 12pm. Normally this would be fine since vacation time is limited but later saw him with another group exploring the town. He did mention his family was coming to visit but specified it was the day after. I feel my time was short changed. Tastings: 1- Coffee 2- Nougout sampling (which is also offered for free if you do it yourself) 3- Pralines (which is also offered for free if you do it yourself) 4- Madeleins (was supposed to be a variety pack of different flavored ones but he mistakenly ordered 6 of the original and when he asked the store about it they questioned why he did not do it his usual way. He made no attempt to correct this and simply said sorry) 5- Market honey stand sampling (which is also offered for free if you do it yourself) 6- Market produce stand figs (which is also offered for free if you do it yourself) 7- One piece of chocolate 8-15 - A charcuterie board with 4 meats and 6 cheeses, and 1 glass of wine (per him usually only 5 cheeses) He uses e-cigarettes during the in between time but does a good job of distancing himself when doing so. So yes, technically he gave more than 10 tastings. What was presented however, in my opinion is not what the spirit of a food tour is supposed to be. For nearly 100 euro a head, definitely not recommended. 15 tastings but not what I was expecting

Edouard is an excellent guide. Not just because he knows Aix inside out but because he is good with people. He is very relaxed, paced the tour according to the energy of the group so that we never felt rushed. He was also great at restaurant advice and the hidden gems at the end of our tour were a delight. Would highly recommend. Super informative and great local insight

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the tour with Edouard. He was such a vibe - humorous, so knowledgeable, personable, insightful and patient (we stopped at several points to shop). You could tell he loved and was very proud of Aix. His recommendations for food were on point and he left us falling in love with the city too. I would recommend Edouard and the tour 100 times over Edouard made me fall in love with Aix

Edouard was our guide for a couple of hours on our second day visiting Aix-en-Provence. My husband and his parents are French and I. They speak French only and I English with bad French. Edouard spoke French all the time with English only when I requested a translation to help with my french. I requested a historic tour. We wanted to learn about the history of the city and visit its historic sites and we had a great tour filled with interesting information, sprinkled with tastings of local specialties. Edouard is calm, patient, happy and very knowledgeable of this beautiful ville. I highly recommend him! Merci Edouard! Best bilingual guide in Aix-en-Provence

We had a great time with Ted exploring Aix. He was an excellent host and gave the perfect introduction to the area. After a nice and informative walk around Aix we were treated to a cake and coffee at one of Ted's favourite spots. He even customized our tour to cater for our 1 year old and to help us practice our French. Ted's passion for Aix helped us appreciate the area and we're very glad we picked him for the tour. Thanks Ted! We'll see you next time!Great Value. Enjoyable Tour!

I booked this tour with Edouard/Ted for myself and my two adult sons (ages 23 and 18). It was a great experience as Ted took us around to experience some classic provençal fare. Ted was lovely and his love of Aix made us enjoy Aix even more. From his favorite boulangerie, to tours of the markets and a lunch spot he chose specifically that he thought my sons would enjoy it was time well spent! Ted also provided many recommendations on where to eat including Mammo which we absolutely loved!Great tour with my sons!

Overall an unpleasant experience. Our guide did not seem to be well versed in the local history. He chose a meeting point that was very difficult for our taxi to get to. The ride to the meeting point he chose was 20€ from our hotel and only 10€ on the way back from the taxi stand-where we should have met. We spent way too much time at the Cloister tour. All in all a disappointing tour.Aix tour
