Food Market Tour
What a wonderful experience. Mathilde was so knowledgeable. It was cool to see the shops and merchants she uses for her cooking school. She was great about pacing things to fit our large group of ten. The food sampling was fabulous and it was great to hear the story behind the food. My only suggestion is skip or plan a light lunch after because you will be full.

Fun and informative tour of the Aix en Provence market
We had a wonderful tour of the Aix en Provence market with Mathilde. She was fun and knowledgeable and we had tastes of some great local food, along with interesting information about the area. She gave us some tips on finding true local produce and merchandise at the market, which we used while shopping in the days that followed. This was our fourth time to Aix en Provence, but Mathilde really added depth to our knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to be in the area.

Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and delicious treats.
Jennifer took us around some of the old town of Aix and explained some of the history which was very interesting and insightful, especially when it involves food! It is interesting hearing some of the food etiquette that the French follow in contrast to the British. She is passionate about the food produced in the area and has a very good relationship with the producers you meet. You get to taste the seasonal produce as well as some of the local delicacies. Highly recommended!

The highlight of our trip to Provence
If you like history and food then this is a fantastic tour! We were so bowled over the knowledge and passion of Jennifer and she was also a personable and fun guide. Ending the morning with some delicious cheese and wine was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great tour
Great tour with our guide Matilda. It was a wonderful way to get oriented to this special city. We had many opportunities to taste a variety of foods. Each tasting was accompanied by fantastic descriptions from our guide. She knew many of the local vendors which was really nice. We also had a delicious wine tasting. Matilda knew so much history, even the date that the Rotunda fountain was built!!

Just fabulous!
Loved everything about the 3 hour tour myself and a friend did on 19 July. It was great getting to know a bit about the history of Aix. The food sampling was fabulous and we now know what makes the difference between a white and green asparagus and black and green olives!! Would highly recommend this as a great introduction (and orientation) of Aix.

Lovely morning
We had a great time with Matilda- she was friendly, knowledgeable and our 3 hours flew past. It’s a fantastic way to get to know a city in a short time frame and to learn about the history, people and food. Highly recommend!

A True "Taste" of Provence in Aix
My family joined Janicke on this tour covering the history of Aix en Provence and sampling the local flavors at the markets and various food shops. This was a hit with everyone in the family and Janicke did an excellent job detailing the histories behind places we saw and also incorporating the food that we sampled into the narrative. This was also a great way to find amazing food to bring back home from Provence. Really excellent.
