All Marseille Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 15

Thorough excursion and beautiful Marseille!! Olga was great and very knowledgeable!! On time with pick up and drop off . We just had to walk for a few minutes to get to the van from the cruise ship at port . The day prior to the excursion date , received and email from the vendor what time to meet up and where to meet up. Overall , I would recommend it.

Our guide, Pepe, clearly loves his hometown and showed us many reasons why! Although we had to miss what was the prettiest part of the coastal Marseille (because of a Sunday marathon), we saw the cathedral and the harbor and the oldest church. Our tour next took us to Aix en Provence, which is so charming with its postcard-perfect cobbled streets, fountains and cafes. Pepe gave us tips and let us explore on our own for over two hours. This was a fantastic day’s excursion from the port of Marseiile.

This small group tour (eight people) gave us a chance to see two very different municipalities. In Aix en Provence, we were given the option of a guided tour by Audrey, our very amiable tour guide, or striking off on our own to explore the area. I chose the latter, although others on the tour said they enjoyed Audrey’s tour. From there, we were off to the small fishing village of Cassis, where we had a couple of hours to roam the town, have lunch or take a boat tour. (My lunch was one of the highlights of my entire cruise.). I consider this tour to be much preferable to a ship excursion, which usually is more expensive and has a much larger group.

Emil was a fantastic tour guide. He took us through Marseille and then drove us up to see Basilique Notre-Dame dela Garde. So great he was able to drop us off so that we did not have to climb to reach the Basilique. What a beautiful site to see. Next, we drove to Cassis and saw fabulous views of the bay and then went to eat at a restaurant on the bay. We had the best pizza of our trip at the restaurant in France! Highly recommend using him to see Marseille!!

We had such a fantastic day exploring with Denis and Virginia! From the moment we met them, they made the tour fun, relaxed, and full of great stories about the area. Since there weren’t any other cruise ships in port that day, it ended up being just us on the tour, which made it feel extra special. The drive from Marseille to Cassis was beautiful, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the drive through the mountains, the beaches and scenery. The highlight for us was definitely going up to the lookout points—those views were absolutely breathtaking! Denis also surprised us by putting together little video clips of our day, which was such a thoughtful touch. Such a unique experience that we’ll definitely remember for a long time, would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about this adventure with a great family run operation!

Yes! Arno was our captain and he was great! Beautiful cataraman, great lite lunch (meats, cheeses, bread and fruit) with wine and beverages. We anchored to swim in one location and then another for lunch. Arnold was a great tour guide as we traveled around and into harbors. One note: If your cruise boat anchors in the industrial port, taxis at the ship will not take you; too short a distance. And, the free shuttle (1/4 mi away) does not got to the cataraman pier. But, across the street is a taxi stand there. Watch your email for these instructions. "You must go to the Port of Corbière. Be careful not to confuse it with the Port Ouest Marseille, which is a little further away. When you arrive at the Port of Corbière, you should see two orange cranes. Once in the port, walk to the water's edge where the boats are docked. Then look for pontoon 7 and walk along the pontoon to the catamaran." BUT, you must get through a large white electronic gate to the pier. Captain Arno will call a return taxi for you if you ask. Only a 10 minute wait after docking. It's a great cruise.

It was an excellent excursion. Jenny was very informative and we enjoyed her company. We saw many places and she accommodated our requests and slower pace because of my older parents. I highly recommend this excursion while visiting the port of Marseille rather than buying the ship excursion, it is worth the $$$.

Amazing guide! We would use his service 1000 times again. Great experience! Aix, cassis and lavender fields ….we saw everything we wanted and he had great advice at each stop! He even got us back to port easily on time with two major roadways closed by fire.
