Taste of Provence tour with Jennifer - good for kids?

[World Gallery]

I have read very good reviews about Jennifer's Food/Walking tour in Aix en Provence, but I was hoping to get a review from a family that took this tour with their kids. Our kids are ages 11-17. We have done a food tour before and they liked it (In NYC, Greenwich Village).

We would need to get a driver or rent a car to drive the hour between Toulon and Aix, which is another concern.

Any feedback?

I took this tour last summer and found it to be as good as the reviews say it is. I was part of a group of 6 or 7....all adults. We stopped by a bakery, learned a bit of the history of Aix, walked the markets of Aix and tried olives, cheese, and other assorted goodies from the markets. I have also done the Greenwich Village food tours and this is different inasmuch as it is based on the market scene, not individual restaurants. Jennifer herself has two children and told us a lot about how the French youngsters learn to eat 3 or 4 course meals from an early age. You know your kids best, but there is absolutely nothing about the tour that would be questionable for kids. You will find wandering through the old city delightful and Jennifer a lovely host/guide.
