Great tour, our guide was very friendly and gave a lot of information. Only disappointment was, we thought our group of 5 would have had our own driver from the description of the tour. We had 3 others with us and 1 spoke a different language so the guide was having to explain in 2 different languages.

A wonderful day at a leisurely pace. Our guide was very sweet and provided lots of information on the city and if Cassis.

Well paced tour. Our tour guide Emanuel was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable. Would suggest in warmer months taking swimming attire for the beach at cassis as there is time to take a swim if you like

The transportation van was difficult to get in and out of for those in the backseat. Our driver/guide did a wonderful job navigating the heavy! traffic in Marseille to get to the sites and providing historical facts. Nice drive to pretty town of Cassis. However, we were there for 2.5 hours, which is much too long, unless you do the boat tour to see the calanques.

The guide was very nice and pleasant, but she was mostly a driver. She didn't lead a tour at two of the three stops and at the stop at Cassi, she left us for 2-1/2 hours. She indicated her operating company would not let her leave the vehicle due to vehicle thefts. There was no tour guidance the entire trip back to the port. The transportation was a 8-passenger van including a middle front seat with virtually no leg room. For the price of $170/person euros, this was not the quality of experience we expected.

We had a great tour with Caroline! She showed us a bit of the city of Marseille and told us some history. She took us to the basilica where we had ample time to explore. The highlight of this tour for us was visiting the beautiful, quaint, walkable town of Cassis in the Callanques. After giving us 2.5 hours for lunch, shopping and exploring in Cassis, Caroline took us to the top of a mountain to see Cassis and Callanques coast from above. We loved this tour!

Spectacular views of Marseilles and Cassis, in a more personal atmosphere compared to the larger shore excursions. Pepe, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend for anyone stopping here and wanting a thorough and breathtaking tour of the area.

Amazing tour of Marseille, France and Cassis, France. We had a tour guide for the day, Morgen who was a native of Marseille and extremely knowledgeable! Stops at churches and museums for photos and educational info along with a visit to Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Abbey of St Victor. After, we headed thru a long and winding road to Cassis and the Calanques. We took an boat ride to 3 of the Calanques, which are limestone formations and have some of the most crystal blue water so unique and enchanting! Enjoyed some local snacks along the way, and I highly recommend the homemade marshmallows and croissants!
