What are people saying about Marseille

If You Visit Provence, Ask for Marco!
We had an absolutely spectacular day with Marco, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he is passionate about what he does and genuinely wants his guests to have the very best experience.
His knowledge of the region is exceptional. Every destination came to life through his fascinating stories, local insights and historical background. We visited Aix-en-Provence, the beautiful coastal town of Cassis, Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille, and Le Panier, each made even more memorable thanks to Marco's commentary and recommendations.
What truly set Marco apart was his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. He gave us ample time to explore each destination at our own pace, never making us feel rushed. He also suggested taking the boat cruise in Cassis to see the magnificent Calanques, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our day.
Marco is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. If you are looking for a guide who will make your visit informative, relaxed and unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Marco, for creating memories that we will treasure for years to come.

Well informed guide. Only...
Well informed guide. Only 2 hrs which was perfect for us. Hit some of the high notes of Marseilles’ history and then she offered recommendations for more if we chose. What was most helpful was her flexibility. We got caught in a rain storm (with hail) and she stayed calm and adjusted when we needed to shelter.

Hike to French beauty
An absolute spectacular excursion but be prepared for a moderate to challenging hike. If you’re willing to make the trek, it’s worth the effort. Very happy with this excursion. The guides were amazing, made the effort to speak English and very informative. They made the day. Thank you Adrien and Alex.

E-Bike Tour
We had an amazing day going through Marseille on E-Bikes!! My husband is turning 66 and I’m 64. We found it a bit challenging, but we did it! I’m so glad we did! We saw much of the city and got some exercise! Our excursion was a for hour half-day tour in the AM, and I think that is best.

Loved it!
Our guide Cindy was awesome, her English was perfect and she was very nice, experienced and knowledgeable. It was just my wife and I on the tour so we had our own adventure out to the Calanques. Highly recommend the trip, the e-bikes make the biking effortless, just have to be comfortable riding on the streets beside cars.

Our guide on food tour in...
Our guide on food tour in Marseille, Inga Brown, was exceptional and made the afternoon very memorable. She gave us fun Marseille tidbits as we walked to the food spots and had such a warm and fun personality. The food spot selections were diverse and so we saw and tasted a nice range of things.

Best 1 day Cruise excursion EVER!!!
This was absolutely the best stop on our MSC cruise. So, the weather was perfect but that wasn't what did it. He took us everywhere answered all questions and had the best closest parking. My family won't stop talking about how great this was.
There is the general statement for the quick readers. We were picked up right off the ship where the buses wait. The car was wonderful the kids even discussed music with him and we were bumpin! Every place we went he had the perfect parking space and if not he found a way to get us close and be right there to pick us up. At each stop we got as much or as little time and we wanted or needed. He even responded to my messages about wine recommendations in Cassis as we shopped. I wish I could give this more stars and I could go into so much more detail but I am telling you this was the best day of our Mediterranean cruise! (and we were in the yacht club so that means something)

Great way to explore the whole city
Amazing e-bike tour around Marseille! The bikes were easy to ride, making it a fun and relaxed way to explore the city’s beautiful coastline, hidden spots, and famous landmarks. Our tour guide was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Marseille. The views were incredible, and the whole experience was well organised from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Marseille in a unique and enjoyable way!

A priority in Provence
Jenny was excellent very accommodating. My bag had not arrived and I was stressed all day. In the evening she dropped me at Aix to give me a head start getting my bag which I now have.
It was a. Dry informative tour I saw places I would not be able to go on public transport. It’s a very worthwhile experience full of history and culture. I was spoilt as tour had only two other women this is a great introduction to Provence 10/10 😊

In-Depth Delightful Tour
Pepe had our attention upon first meeting at the cruise port in Marseille and he kept it enthusiastically throughout the day as he whisked us around Marseille and the entrance of Provence’s stunning jewel Aix-en-Provence. For the history buff there was plenty to captivate and for those who preferred to take in the sights…they certainly didn’t disappoint. This tour was amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend Pepe’s attention to detail!!

E-bikes, don't be afraid to try something new
We had a great day touring some of the city, but mostly the national park via e-bikes. Martin was patient with us as had never ridden them before and we caught on quickly. We appreciated the thirty minute break to take a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean. Not only did we see some beautiful sites, but learned something new!
