My name is Christopher, I'm a registered tour guide living in Marseille. I've been working as a guide in Provence for the last nine years - visiting the region for well over twenty-five, so I know a lot about what's best to see and visit as well as the region's highlights & lesser known hidden secrets of this beautiful region. Originally from London and as well as my individual work as a tour guide with ToursByLocals, I'm also a partner in a small niche private tour business based in Provence which I run with my French husband. I work all year round as a tour guide, enjoying showing & sharing with my guests my knowledge of the South of France. This is after all the region of France that epitomises the Mediterranean dream destination! My tours aim to inspire and visitors who want to discover & connect with the local people, culture & traditions of Provence. I like my guests to feel they are meeting up with old friends to explore my corner of France. All my tours are at a leisurely pace with lots of laughs and fun along the way. Having lived most of my adult life in London and been fortunate to be able to travel to over twenty six countries during that time. I enjoy travelling and especially meeting people from different corners of the world, being able to show them the visible and less obvious secret gems of this incredibly beautiful region of France. My passion for travel and meeting new people brought me back to live in France in 2013. I decided to become a tour guide to share with visitors my passion for Provence. In 2022 I became a French citizen. As your personal guide, I will always make sure each tour adapts to the style and expectation of my guests. I want you to enjoy a unique experience of the very best of Provence. There is so much to see and do - the regions culture, history, landscape, gastronomic food & fine wine; warm all year round climate & sunshine, colourful dramatic landscapes, ancient history and ancestral traditions as well as the authenticity of the people who live here in the towns, countryside and hilltop villages. Above all else it will be unhurried and at a gentle pace, unless you have to get back to the ship and then the day is adapted accordingly. What I specialise in is creating inspirational private tours & custom-made tour itineraries. My guests typically will be looking for small individual experiences or meaningful time with their partner & family or the chance to reconnect. Most of my set itineraries are priced for two people, but they are also available for 3-4 people and although the tours are priced per couple - if you are three people travelling, even four, it's easy to divide and multiply to adjust the cost of each tour accordingly. If you are more that two, I will send a revised customized quotation so that you can book your tour. If you reserve a tour with me - I guarantee we'll have a great fun day out, relaxed, unhurried, friendly, convivial and free from stress - you're on a vacation after all. If you would like more information on any tour or a quotation for something a little bit different please send me a message. All messages are responded to same working day. Hope to welcome you to Provence soon. Christopher I'm a registered Tour Guide and also a professional photographer, I can guide in historic sites, museums, galleries and so forth with no restrictions. I have all the relevant driving licenses to transport people and provide a full insurance coverage including public liability for all my guests.

Overview of your Marseille tour

Photography workshops in Provence. These are so much more than learning to improve technical photography skills. These are Provence lifestyle tours that aim to capture your imagination & creativity using your skills as a photographer in a very different way. Provence is a lot more than just rolling hills, hilltop villages and lavender fields. There is the architecture, the ambience, the light, the colours and the atmosphere that makes this region challenging and inspirational for an artist. These two day courses can be over a weekend or on two consecutive days in the week to suit. They include pick-up and return to and from your hotel or villa and travel in between locations each day. For the photography tours you'll need to bring either a camera or a smartphone, but they also include refreshments & a light snack lunch each day. The workshops are private and not mixed, minimum two people, max 4 persons.

Your Marseille tour itinerary

Two day photography workshop: This is a two day experience with the benefit of being able to look in more detail at how to take more compelling photographs of people, architecture, landscape & seascape. On the second day we visit Arles to look at the architecture and people in the street and in the afternoon, the remote seascape of the Camargue. Includes transport & snack lunch. Itinerary: Day 1: L'Isle sur la Sorgue, the villages of Gordes & Fontaine de Vaucluse & Abbaye Senanque. Day 2: Arles in the morning & the beaches of the Camargue in the afternoon. I'm a self taught photographer. I took my first picture when I was just seven years old and love exploring every type of creative field out there through the lens of my camera. Each aspect of taking pictures has exposed me to and made me challenge myself to learn more the art of photography. Having lived most of my adult life in London, I now live full time in Marseille and work full-time as a tour guide in Provence..
