    Beware of instructions

    Tim_O, May 2026
    Followed instructions and no Tour found. Messaged operator and no reply and called with no answer. They called and after telling us it was a white bus in poor english and talking to multiple couples they hung up. We missed tour and instead of any sympathy from viator we were fully charged. We will keep this policy in mind for future bookings and want people to know they may be paying and receiving just the 4000 steps looking for the tour.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We regret to hear that you missed the tour. As for locating the pickup point, it is enough to read the Meeting and Pickup section of the tour description, which clearly states that the meeting point is at the parking area behind the security zone. The pickup instructions repeated this information and were sent to your email in advance. There are no Viator signs, since Viator uses hundreds of suppliers in such large ports, and each supplier greets guests with their own sign. In this case, the J.A.T. sign was clearly mentioned in the pickup information. You were the only couple missing among 413 of your fellow cruisers served that day in Marseille. Your refund request has been respectfully declined. When booking future activities through Viator, we strongly recommend reading and following the easy pickup information instead of looking for a Viator Mr. & Mrs. Smith sign. Safe travels.

    We had to walk about 3/4...

    PETER_A, May 2026
    We had to walk about 3/4 of a mile from our ship to the bus in the rain. Tour guide and times was difficult to hear. Provence and Marseille tours were ok

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. Please allow us to address the concerns raised: 1. Please note that we pick up guests at the pier and proceed to the port parking area designated by the officials for all operators, including Viator suppliers. 2. The walking distance takes an average walker approximately 3–7 minutes, depending on the exact dock location. 3. Please note that the “Additional Information” section clearly states that this tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for guests with limited walking ability, such as yourself. 4. In case of rain, we use a simple but useful tool - an umbrella. When booking future activities though Viator we strongly recommend basing your expectations on the tour description and restrictions rather than on personal assumptions and ambitions Safe travels!
