About this activity

Hi, my name is Richard. I have lived and worked in London, New York and Hong Kong . I have lived in Aix now for 10 years , about 5 minutes walk from our meeting point .On a year plus long trip around the world my family took a lot of walking tours. It’s the best way to get to know a city and discover what makes a good walking tour - Small groups , so you can hear and ask questions. A guide who knows the facts , but also the stories , the characters , and what it’s like to actually live in the city, eat in the restaurants, go to the bars, not just reading it off a clipboard. I want you to know Aix and even want to live here , or at the very least come back and visit again, thats the easy bit !
