The experience

Old Aix-en-Provence unfolds on foot, starting from your hotel in Marseille with pickup included. The guide walks you through the old town, stopping at six different spots to taste local specialties: homemade items the guide brings along with regional foods you'll find at each location. Between stops, you learn the history and origins of Aix-en-Provence itself, the context that shapes what you're tasting.

St. Sauveur Cathedral sits inside the walking route. Wine tasting and beverages come with the tour. Bottled water is provided throughout. The whole thing runs three hours, which keeps the pace manageable and leaves room for the tasting to actually land instead of rushing past. At the end, the guide drops you back at your hotel.

If you're starting from Marseille, a 30-minute transfer each way is available for €120 per group, arranged at 11:00 a.m. The tour itself works for groups of 4 to 8 people, so you're never in a crowd but never alone either. Wear smart casual and bring comfortable walking shoes. The route is suitable for all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with cardiovascular concerns.
