Enjoy a very personal walking tour of Aix-en-Provence and receive some great tips on street photography at the same time. My husband and I joined one other couple (only 4 of us...just right) for Chris’ walking tour. In a bit over 3 hours we learned a great deal about the history of Aix and Provence but never in a rote or pedantic manner. While Chris would occasionally glance at his notes to verify a point his delivery was natural and entertaining. He responded fully to questions and obviously has a depth of knowledge about history and architecture. He also shares some neat photography tips. His delivery was warm and personal and he assured all of us were included rather than focus on a single participant. This is a great way to learn a great deal in a painless entertaining manner and I learned a lot in spite of my frequent travels to France and a lot of research I do on my own so that we can better understand and appreciate what we are seeing.

Would not hesitate in booking other private tour with Christopher. Honestly, don't remember all the history he imparted but can visualize and now appreciate all that he pointed out. He heightened our senses to our surroundings and we noticed that we were seeing things in a different light.
