Looking for things to do in Marseille and this tour caught our eye because of what a great idea it was. The free time allows for your own exploration in Aix. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything from the tastes of the wine, to the fermentation process, to the soil of the region affecting growth and flavor. The price is amazing for including the transportation, tour, and samples!

An absolutely wonderful experience with Stephane guiding us through vineyards, lavender fields, and the old town of Aix-En-Provence. He picked us up from the cruise ship docked in Marseille exactly on time. He recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch in Aix (Le bouche à Oreille). It was just the two of us and Stephane, so we took our time and interacted with the vineyard staff and found some nice wines. We were able to control the agenda so we saw exactly what we were interested in.
