Unforgettable Provence: Aix, Cassis, Marseille Private Tour

Our guide was friendly and knowlegable and gave us a great glimpse of Aix en Provence, Cassis and Marseille! We enjoyed it very much!

Our tour guides Sylvie and Michel were genuinely nice people and tried to give us a tour. The problem is that they both spoke Portuguese and only a few words of English. We went to many places but did not know what we were seeing, with the exception of 2 or 3 facts shown to us through Google translate. We did not learn and history, facts or information about this beautiful region. They picked us up late, were unable to locate where the van was parked in Provence and poor time management led to us missing the final 3 stops in Marseille. It was such a beautiful area and had the potential to be the highlight of our vacation. It is just unfortunate that we were given guides that were unable to communicate with us and give us the tour as promised.

Nice trip overall, a good tour guide and a nice exploration for the 3 locations within the area. We were visiting on Sunday morning so it wasn’t crowded and too many shops were closed.

Our guide and driver worked well together and made the tour designed around our requests. Would highly recommend this tour!

Excursion was amazing from start to finish! Mathieu really listened to what we wanted to do and created the perfect itinerary for us! Loved it!

Although the start of our tour was not good, it ended up being an unforgettable experience! Our original assigned driver was a now show, but the company sent a replacement, who arrived there 40 minutes after our tour was supposed to start. That added a level of stress that I didn't need on my vacation, but Greg promised to make up for it, and so we embarked on our tour. We drove 40 minutes to Aix en Provence, there, we visited the cathedral, walked around the city center, got some peaches from the market in la place and got some pastries at Weibel at the recommendation of our guide. We also did some shopping in some unique stores, and our group of 6 adults, we all concluded that this is a place we would like to return and explore more of. Our second stop was Cassis. We first went up the mountain to get some absolutely breathtaking views of the towns and marina. We then drove down to the town walked around through the stores and another market at la place. Got some lunch at a local restaurant, took some beautiful pictures and enjoyed the beach atmosphere of the town. There were many references around both cities to "The Little Prince" since Antoine de Saint Exupery is from that area of France. We then went back to our ship. We decided to skip the visit to Marseille itself in favor of more time in Aix and Cassis.

We were two families of 4 traveling together and had such a wonderful time with our driver, Jimmy. I didnt know the itinerary ahead of time but apparently the title of the tour was something about Lavender Fields. I just thought it was going to be generic sightseeing around a couple towns. It ended up being EPIC and possibly the highlight of our 10-day cruise. The locations Jimmy brought us to were exceptional. Nothing I would have known about to plan ahead of time. We had such a great day and were so exhausted after so many excursions that nearly all of us fell asleep on the drive back to the ship (sorry, Jimmy!). If you are looking to book a day away from the crowds of the ship-planned excursion, look no further.

Wonderful private tour - our guide Anoir was outstanding. Aix de Provence wry quant town - Cassis absolutely gorgeous. Had lunch in Cassis right at the marina - then went to a spectacular view from the cliffs nearby.

The tour guide was very professional and friendly, ~Anoir Cherki actually cares about his job. We enjoyed the tour

Every part of this tour Aix, Cassis was special because of the professionalism, knowledge and flexibility of Robert Di Stefano our driver. The best! The first company we booked through Viator confirmed it. then canceled us because our NCL Prima was ship coming into the port an hour later than scheduled and they refused to come at 9am Instead of 8am. We had to immediately call Viator to book a different driver guide company. Turned out great because Robert’s company Camargue VTC Limousines turned out to be fabulous. Exceeded our expectations.
