Aix-en-Provence Walking Tour
Aixploring Provence
I’m fortunate to have called southern France my home since 2010, and I’d like to make your next visit truly special with a guided walking tour of Aix-en-Provence, or just Aix.
Aix (pronounced “ex”) is a vibrant city with fascinating architecture, charming traditions, chic restaurants, renowned festivals, and passion for life. I’ll share my passion and knowledge about this ville d’eau, and together we’ll discover some of the hidden treasures that most visitors often overlook.
Getting to Aix
The Aéroport de Marseille Provence is just to the north of Marseille in Marignane, and it takes about 30-minutes to get to Aix by rental car, taxi or Uber. There’s also bus service if you prefer. Arriving by the high-speed train? The TGV station (gare) is about 20-minutes outside of town, and mid-distant between Aix and the airport — accessible along the same route.
From its settlement by the ancient Romans to a Provençal destination renowned for music, the arts, and culture — wrapped into a southern joie de vivre — there’s something special for everyone in Aix. I create personalized guided walking tours for you so that you don’t just see Aix-en-Provence…you experience it like a local. All kinds of bookings are welcome, from individuals and couples to families and small groups.

Erin did a fantastic job showing me all that Aix had to offer. She topped it off with macaroons and treats from Bechard putisserie-Confiserie Glacier. She did an excellent job, I will send anyone coming to France her way! – Liz C.
Erin is such a lovely guide and host! Our family loved our walking tour, leaning about the history of Aix and local insight. She shared a great perspective and treats which delighted our daughters! She also has wonderful tips on where to go in town. It really brought the city to life for us and was a perfect way to begin our stay there. Merci! – Jennifer K
Erin was just delightful, and she gave us a wonderful walking tour of Aix. We stopped along the way to enjoy the daily market, then she took us to her favorite spot for fresh macarons. Erin is very knowledgeable about the history of Aix and was so generous answering our questions. I would highly recommend Aixploring Provence!! – Gayle L
