Aix-en-Provence Tour

So here’s the thing – wear good shoes. The streets are rough and my friend wore sandals and spent half the time complaining. We liked the old towers and the weird little museum (no English explanations, tho). Great spot for anyone who likes taking photos. If you’re hungry, get the cheese plate at the café next to the main gate. Sooo good.

We visited as part of a bigger Provence tour. Our guide was really good, knew so much about the village and its history. Spent around two hours walking around, then had coffee and cake at a bakery (can’t remember the name, but it was right by the fountain). Weather was sunny, so the views were clear. Would have liked more time – felt a bit rushed.

Had a great time on this tour. Went with my wife and two kids (8 and 11). The guide kept the kids entertained with stories of knights and castles. The walk up is a bit tough for little legs, but the ice cream at the top made it worth it. Not stroller-friendly at all. Bring coins for the bathroom, they charge!

I went with my two teens and we had a BLAST. The old stone streets are so cool – my son kept pretending he was in a medieval movie, lol. Make sure to wear sneakers, the cobbles are ankle-twisters if you’re not careful. The views from the top – honestly, just WOW. Windy when we went, so bring a jacket (I didn’t, regretted it). Shops were a bit touristy but we loved the olive soap we found. If you like history and don’t mind a little climbing, this is a perfect day trip. Not too crowded on a Thursday morning.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much, but this tour blew me away. Our guide (Pierre?) was funny and shared cool stories about the village. I learned a ton but it never felt like a boring history class. The best part: sampling some local olive oil. Not a big group, so we didn’t feel rushed. A+ day.

Went with my girlfriend and we had a really chill time. The stone walls make it feel like you’re in a fairytale. We got there late afternoon, so less people. Sunset from the top = UNREAL. There’s a little shop that sells lavender stuff, smells amazing. Only wish there were more signs in English, got lost a few times.

We booked last minute and lucked out with perfect weather. Our guide (sorry, forgot her name) was suuuper knowledgeable about the history of the place and even pointed out spots where some famous painter did his thing? Not really into art but it was interesting anyway. Walked a lot – my legs were tired but in a good way. If ur into old buildings and quirky shops, this place is a win.
