We spent a wonderful morning with Jennifer, wondering round the markets at Aix and visting some of the very best local shops and market stalls. Having visited Aix in the past it is one of those places that just draws you back, however Jennifer's tour opened my eyes to some the history of the city as well as the lovely... more

I am so glad we (my sista's and I) took this tour. Jennifer knew so much about Aix and most of Provence. When she reliazed we where staying further away then most. She recommended some places outside of Aix for us to visit. What a genuinly fine person and lovely to take this tour with. She wa really enjoyable and... more

Being a resident of Aix for four years, I figured there was really no need to have a guided tour of Aix. After spending the morning with Jennifer, I can honestly say that I view this city in a whole new and better light. From beginning to end, one realizes right away that Jennifer has not only done extensive research... more

Tastes of Provence is a great way for an outsider to understand the culture and food of Provence. Jennifer is very knowledeable and passionate. Although we were late because of the traffic, Jennifer was very understanding. Our only regret is that we should have done the tour at the beginning of our trip rather than the end, so that we... more

The tour was so interesting and fun because it included both the history of the city but also provided a cultural understanding of life in the area and the amazing markets there. Jennifer guided us around the city and the markets and took us to the best of the best with tastings at many of the stops which was a... more

What a great idea!!! We had visited many markets over our month in France but this tour put EVERYTHING into perspective!! This tour is small, intimate and unique. Jennifer is a wealth of knowledge. You not only get a crash course on the history of this town but really get to feel like you understand the market life. You get... more

I have lived in the city center of Aix-e-Provence for almost 4 years and I can't believe how much I discovered on Jennifer's tour! I will try and have my friends and family all do this when they come and visit me! There were little shops I hadn't even noticed before (ex: the best macaroons or gourmet coffee in town)... more

My daughter and I just came back from from a wonderful trip to Provence. One of the real highlights of our trip was touring around the markets in Aix with Jennifer. She was such a delightful person who had such passion for the food, people and history of Aix. She was able to bring the market to life for us... more

So great!

My parents and I hired Jennifer to give us a tour during our vacation to Provence. Her tour was a highlight for us. She was down-to-earth and knowledgeable -- and gave us great insights as we winded our way through the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence. Considerate, friendly and thought of every detail to make our time with her special. HIGHLY... more

Jennifer manages to incorporate history, local knowledge, and wonderful places to visit at the markets, along with some tasty morsels to try. We are living in Aix and she made us appreciate it so much more! more
