First off, the tour was advertised to be for 2 hrs 15 mins, but we finished it in 1 hr 30 mins. While this is perfectly fine, I wish it was communicated clearly beforehand. The tour route and places visited were all good and very beautiful, however I wish Edouard/Ted had shared more history about each spot as well as the whole town of Aix en Provence. At each spot, he delivered maybe 3-4 lines and a couple of personal anecdotes, which were fun but not really relevant to the tour, and then we moved on. At the end of the tour, I didn't really learn much about the town's history and people apart from my own Googling, although we did come away with some good food recommendations. I'm not sure whether it was because Ted is not a local from Aix en Provence (he shared that he lived in America and in Paris for the majority of his life, before settling in Aix some years ago) but perhaps it would be good to include more fun facts about the town and its founding, Provence history, architecture, food and wine, religion etc. to beef up his script along the whole tour.
Overall, considering it was a free tour, it was not bad, but I would recommend to manage the expectations of your group, read up on the history yourself, and finally, tip only as you see fit!

Benjy brought the history of Aix alice for us. He’s extremely knowledgeable and also entertaining. I’ve done many guided city walks over the years and Benjy’s was by far the best. Thank you so much.

It was a great tour, we got to see the sights, explore downtown and we received historical background on the area upon the sights. Moreover, we were provided with ideas for restaurants or eatable souvenirs.
