Great hike but you must be fit
This is a hike that rewards you with great views and a chance to swim in the Mediterranean. But note that the trail is not a walk in the park with up-and-down terrain laid with slippery stones at parts. it is not for those with mobility challenges or lacking in physical fitness. My guide, Alex, was superb and readily helped when I stumbled.

Best E-bike Tour in Marseilles
Cannot say enough good things about this tour and the fantastic guide we had. If I could only pronounce or remember exactly how to spell this name. Other than to say he is a transplant from Belgium and a funny, knowledgeable and amazing tour guide. His love of this great city, his interaction with the four of us and his careful consideration as we rode through the crazy Marseille traffic was especially welcome as people, vehicle and scooters darted in front of constantly and we saw our lives flash before us on several occasions, but he managed to get us safely to all of the destinations in one piece and back. None of the crazy drivers, inconsiderate pedestrians or road raging scooter drivers were his fault or seemed to faze him and he did his best to make us feel safe. We have been on four excursions on our voyage and we felt this might have been the best so far.

Highly Recommended - A super way to see Marseille.
An excellent experience. Bikes well maintained, area travelled interesting and the narrative provided by Phillip our tour guide was excellent. Highly recommended, especially if you need a little exercise. I've done many e-bike tours around the world, and this was definitely in the top 5%.

Great day
We had so much fun on oure-bike tour. It was great to see both the city and the national park. An unexpected highlight of my particular tour date was stopping at a local bakery for lunch (you buy your own food). I will be dreaming about that bakery for a while. I was only in town for own day because I was on a cruise ship, but I would definitely still pick that outting for my day in Marseille if given the option again.

Sarit was amazing showing us Marseille
We had an amazing experience in Marseille thanks to Sarit! From the very beginning, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. She made the city come alive with her stories, insights, and passion for Marseille.
Sarit went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and truly enjoyed every moment. She tailored the experience beautifully and shared special spots and local details we would have never discovered on our own.
If you’re visiting Marseille, I highly recommend Sarit, she will make your trip unforgettable!

Best day in Marseille! Book this now!
Best shore excursion ever! Denis is part movie producer, part tour guide and fully FUN to be with! Driving the VW ( and being a passenger) was fun and exciting. Narrow mountain roads, amazing overlooks, and beautiful sights along the way - book this for your next visit to Marseille!

The best of Marseille and Aix-en-Provence!
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.

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!

Perfect tour. Amazing guide.
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.

Lavender views
Our guide knew many fields to choose from with interesting views. He was very knowledgable about many aspects of the lavender as well. Such a beautiful trip! I would remind those with bee allergies that the fields are always buzzing, they are friendly and keep to themselves though.

Spectacular views of...
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.
