My name is Richard. I'm British and live in central Aix en Provence, 5 minutes walk from where you start my tour.
I have lived and worked in London, New York and Hong Kong.
After leaving HK and settling in Aix , we took our 3 daughters on a 15 month world back packing trip. Obviously a lot of adventures , but the reason I’m telling you this is , on this trip we took a lot of guided city walks. We found guided walks were the best way to find and get to know the best parts of a city. I also found out what made a good tour and a bad tour, lists of dates when buildings constructed just boring . So before I started my own tour company Aixwalkingtours.com I spent a long time searching for the interesting Aix story behind the scenes. At the end of your walk you will know how the history of Aix is playing a huge part in what is going on right here and now, you’ll understand and appreciate even more the beautiful city you just walked through. Keep an eye out for me in Aix . I still look like the photo.
