Private Tour Aix Cassis Marseille

A Seamless Day in Aix, Cassis & Marseille

My daughters & I had a wonderful time with Omar. He was a perfect gentlemen. After an espresso & croissant, we walked through the markets in Aix. This was nothing like we were used to. They went on for blocks with all kinds of vendors selling their merchandise & produce & more. During our walk, we saw the church & other sights. It was a very nice morning. Then on to Cassis where we saw the beautiful city from above on the cliffs. We made our way down to the city & were able to book a boat ride of the Calanques. (This is not included in the price of the tour & costs extra but we had requested to do this.) It was beautiful with the clear blue water & dramatic cliff formations. A little lunch and off to South Marseille. Omar took us on a scenic route & it was so pretty. We were able to go to Notre Dame de la garde & the palace of Napoleon before having to board our ship. Our day was very relaxing & we were able to see everything that we wanted to see and more! If you are looking for a nice relaxing day, this is your tour. However, this is more a driving tour than a “guided” tour. If you want to hear details about the history & various statues or buildings, you might want to book a different tour. Omar did explain about certain things & answered our questions but wasn’t like the guides on the buses who give lots of facts on their tours.

Outstanding! Emily is a delight, concerned with the comfort and wellbeing of each and every person. Her commentary was interesting and engaging and Emily was a font of knowledge on a wide range of topics. This tour is highly recommended. Go for a full day!

Access to Hidden Gems!

Skip the stress of navigating and hunting for rare parking spaces in these historic hillside villages. Our outstanding expert guide from Aix-En_Provence was Gregg. A small group van tour offers an intimate journey through some of France's most picturesque landscapes. We could easily chat with Gregg and and ask questions. Some of the most wonderful stops were: Gordes, Rousillon (multi-colored ochre cliffs feel like stepping onto an artists palette) and Lourmarin (nestled among olive groves and vineyards, this vibrant village offers artisan boutiques and a Renaissance castle). I traveled with my adult daughter. I chose a van tour due to our limited time in Provence and wanted to see as much as possible without the hassle of driving myself. Mission accomplished!

Amazing Tour!

We were two couples traveling through France this fall. We decided to book a full day excursion to see the villages around Avignon. Even though it was 9 1/2 hour excursion… It was extremely enjoyable. Emilee was an amazing guide… Very knowledgeable and upbeat. She was attune to our every need. The van was super comfortable with AC, charging stations, and lots of water. I would highly recommend the services from Gordana Tours.

Went on a full day wine + Luberon villages tour with Celestine and had an amazing time! The wine tour was in the morning, after which we returned to Aix-en-Provence for a short stop before continuing with the villages in the afternoon. Celestine was so friendly, helpful, warm and engaging. Even though it was a long day, she kept us all entertained throughout with lots of interesting information about Aix and the places we visited. She is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The wines we tried were delicious, and the villages very pretty - we had a wonderful time, and Celestine’s energy and commentary made it even more incredible. She even makes sure we get the best photo stops. We would have just liked a bit more time in Loumarin. Highly recommend this tour and especially if Celestine is your guide!

Don’t miss this tour!

I’m a history buff and Jerome fulfilled my curiosity. One of the best guides I’ve encountered, he gave well-rounded and well-explained highlights of Avignon making you want to return for more history. He is also passionate and prideful about the city, the peoples, the culture and the arts. I truly recommend a tour with Jerome. He made my trip!

Awesome day!

We started with a wine tasting of Châteauneuf du Pape wines, and visited domains. The guide, I can't remember her name!, was very knowledgeable on wines, terroir, winemaking... It was very informative. In the afternoon, we started with Roussillon, then Pont Julien, Lacoste, and finished with Gordes which was absolutely gorgeous in the light at the end of the day. We got a lot of cultural and historical information.

Incredible day, breathtaking scenery

What an incredible day!! Could not fault anything about this trip. Communication prior to trip exemplary, pick up from port super easy. Denis was a lovely guide, caring, funny, knowledgeable and so helpful! The cars were clean and well maintained and perfect for this type of day trip. We didn't expect such spectacular scenery and loved everything about the day. Our 18yo and 20yo really enjoyed themselves and loved the breathtaking journey and towns. Cassis was our favourite. Please do not think twice about booking this once in a life time experience.

This tour guide deserves 10 stars! When our train was delayed, she went above and beyond by picking us up right at the station. It was an incredibly hot day, but she never lost her enthusiasm. She patiently shared wonderful information and gracefully waited while some of the ladies took endless photos. She made the whole experience stress-free and fun!

Luberon Market & Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

Peter_a, Apr 2026

Magical views.

We travelled with Emmanuel to 4 hilltop villages - Gordes, Roussillion , Lourmarin and Ansouis. What a fantastic experience. We walked around the villages ourselves which was fine - 90 minutes each in the first two which were the biggest and busiest and then 45 minutes each in the other two. Emmanuel advised us what to look for and at in each village. His problem was parking the van because parking is difficult in these places- so he had to drop us off and then go a long way away and return to the designated pick up spot. He did a fantastic job and the day was brilliant - highly recommended.
