I'm Benjamin R., your private tour guide in Aix En Provence

Guide #64002

Dear Guest, I am a local bilingual guide with roots from Aix from as far back as the creation of the Papal state in Avignon (14th Century), with stories to tell of my grandparents involvement in the second world war, when the city was occupied by the Nazis. It's an honour and a privilege to show you around my mother's hometown. While I am half French, my father and I were born in the UK, so we speak British English, so well in fact, that we are both English teachers (though my Dad teaches at a business school, and I teach at the university - which is obviously more prestigious) My promise is to give you an unforgettable experience of Provence like a local. I cannot wait to see you here, to see how you react to tastes, sights and smells of my city and region. Thank you for booking with me. Benjamin BA (hons) French and Business Management None

    Hi Vlad, can totally understand your disappointment with having to cancel the second half of the tour to Marseille due to not feeling well (we guides get sick too unfortunately - we are only human) - hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!

    Benjamin gave us an excellent tour of this beautiful city. He is knowledgeable, had lots of interesting local insights, and has a delightful sense of humor. We enjoyed every minute of our 3-hour tour.
