“Wonderful Tour of Aix-en-Provence, Cassis and Marseille with Nathalie”
We just spent an amazing day visiting Aix-en-Provence, Cassis and Marseille with Nathalie. She is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, vivacious and absolutely delightful with a great sense of humour. My whole family loved her. Based on our requests, she planned the perfect itinerary. She was waiting for us at the Marseilles port terminal when we arrived by boat, and whisked us off in her very comfortable Mercedes van to her beautiful home town of Aix-en-Provence. She showed us all the charming sights and helped us buy some locally crafted hand painted clay figurines in the Christmas markets, She also kindly helped us buy essential pharmacy items we needed. Our next stop was Cassis, where she took us to a breathtakingly beautiful view at Cap Canille, followed by a wonderful bouillabaisse lunch at a fantastic restaurant on the waterfront (my husband’s request). As we wound our way back to Marseille, she took us to Notre Dame de la Garde, Vieux Port and numerous other lovely sights. She delivered us back to port in excellent time. We will treasure this wonderful day we spent with Nathalie.

“Great guide, great tour”
We had a wonderful all-day private tour of Luberon villages with Nathalie. We collaborated on the planning: we told her our priorities, which she made sure were met, and she planned the rest. We made adjustments as we went - she was helpful and very accommodating. She reserved lunch for us at a superb restaurant with a lovely view and met us afterwards. She was also patient and flexible while I debated making a purchase (which I did). She met us at our Airbnb in a very comfortable vehicle. Nathalie felt like a friend from the outset, personable, warm and funny. Her knowledge of the area was so helpful and her driving was very good. It was very nice not to worry about driving or parking. It was a full and truly satisfying day!!

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name's Benjamin. I am honoured to show you my Mother's hometown of Aix en Provence! I speak English with a clear voice as I was born in the UK. My mother is French and I speak Spanish because I lived in Peru for 9 years. We have family records that date all the way back from 1875 and I share stories both personal and public stories on the tour. Beside guiding I am an English professor at the local university, a hobbyist historian and world traveler like you! Besides sharing my love for the city, I really enjoy meeting people and I hope I get a short chance to get to know you! I usually do my tours in English, but can translate to Spanish. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have a group and want to arrange a date for a spanish only tour, 'si, se puede' as they say. Furthermore, if you have any other questions I will answer them when you message me. Let me leave you with one of my favorite Emile Zola quotes: "Nothing develops intelligence like travel." See you on the tour! Benjamin
