Erin was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable on all things Aix! She had treats for us at every turn of the tour. It was enjoyable to see her interact with the purveyors during our time together. My wife and I would highly recommend Erin. On a side note, the day started with a “storm of the year” so we weren’t sure we would go ahead with the tour. Thankfully, the weather changed and Erin was very flexible to meet us at a later hour.

Absolutely delightful Five stars to Tastes of Provence!!! We were lucky enough to have both Jennifer and Erin as our tour guides and it was such a treat!! They gave us the best food and history tour that we could imagine while spending time in Aix en Provence. They started us off with a wonderful history tour followed by wonderful samples of pastries, fruit, coffee, cheeses, olives, and wine. Both Jennifer and Erin are well loved in their community. Each vendor was so excited to see them and to share their wares. The ladies took their time to share intimate stories of the past, the present and the future. Kelli and I had a wonderful time. We look forward to our next trip and spending even more time with the two of them. I can’t recommend the two “American Frenchies” enough from Tastes of Provence for the food and history tours. Definitely a highlight of our trip. They will capture your heart as well as the city of Aix.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! My husband and I did this on our honeymoon and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was the perfect way to explore the city, get a feel for the culture, and try amazing local foods. Jennifer, our guide, made the day so interesting and fun. She’s so knowledgeable about the culture of Aix and did a great job infusing learnings into our tour while also keeping it conversational and light. She took us to such amazing spots - a famous bakery, a coffee shop, the farmers market, and local shops for cheese, meat, and bread. It was so cool seeing the relationships she had with the shop owners - it truly felt like we were locals. She was also so personable with us and a joy to talk to throughout the day. This half day activity is so worthwhile we’d do it again if we came back.
