I had an enjoyable time on my private tour of Aix-en-Provence. Aix is a beautiful city. Stephanie was an awesome tour guide. She was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and she was on time. She even managed to squeeze in a visit to the Notre-Dame de la Garde for my group. I would highly recommend this tour and i would definitely request Stephanie.
