Hi, my name is Richard. I really enjoyed my first year of Aix Walking Tours , my love of this town and history is a great combination . I met lots of interesting, engaging people from all over the world and had a ton of great reviews and I was looking forward to an even better 2020 and then Covid19 . The good news is we are now back, so if you can get to Aix , I would love to see you. I have lived and worked in the UK, USA and Asia . On a year plus family trip around the world we took a lot of walking tours. Its the best way to get to know a city and I got to know what makes a good walking tour - Small groups , so you can hear and ask questions. A guide who knows the facts , but also the stories , the characters , the fun, what its like to actually live in the city. I want you to know Aix and even want to live here , or at least come back and visit again !

Here's an example of a review of the tour: "Had a really great tour of marché Richelme with Edouard, right in the old town of Aix. Edouard asked me what foods I was most interested in and we went to the different stands accordingly. I was after some good jam so Edouard made sure i was able to sample Christophe’s 60% fruit homemade selection. My personal « péché mignon » being cheese, the tour was fantastic (at least 5 or 6 different stands to choose from and.... oh my god that fresh goat cheese!!!) - and i have to say that the surprise coming out of left field (and now a little favorite) was mushrooms.. It’s mushroom season (which i had not payed attention to, but since Edouard goes there every day, he knows !!) All round a great tour for people wishing to discover the southern french markets, or for those (like me) wishing to go on a local product shopping spree. Great tour!" -Olivier Pinard, Paris
