Food and Culture Walk.
We have a lovely day with our group and Laura our guide. She walked us along the city highlights and neighborhoods and introduced us to 3 salty tastings and 2 sweet. We also enjoyed local wines and a specialty drink from the area. This tour is perfect of you want something different yet still enjoy the flavors of Marseille. Highly recommend Laura as your guide.

A very good day in Marseilles
A fantastic day. Really clear pre-tour instructions & pick up at the cruise pier. Right outside the cruise ship dock. Nice air conditioned van with 6 guests total including me & my Wife. Sebastian, our driver and guide was amazing relaxed and calming guy, full of insightful information about Aix en Provence & Marseille. Had us back to the ship right at 4pm as promised. Highly recommend this tour.

Great 3-hour ride!
Great was very knowledgeable and a good tour guide. There were only eight of us on the tour. The roads were very busy and we had to be very careful but it was a beautiful tour. Lots of stops where we could take pictures of the sea and other cathedrals and buildings.

Beautiful Provence
It was a wonderful quick view of different cities in La Provence. The transportation was excellent and we were lucky in the company. Our guide, Eugenie, was knowledgeable and very accommodating. She extended the tour to take us to few additional experiences (fruit market, bakery, etc).

A day in Marseille
We had an incredible tour experience in Marseille with our guide, Siret! From the very beginning, her warmth, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the city made the entire experience unforgettable.
Siret brought Marseille’s rich history and vibrant culture to life as we explored the classic Vieux-Port (Old Port) and the historic Le Panier neighborhood. She didn't just share fascinating stories and historical context; she also gave us super helpful local tips, recommendations for dining, and advice on how to navigate the rest of our stay. Her pacing was excellent, and she made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout.
If you are visiting Marseille and want an authentic, insightful, and enjoyable overview of the city, we cannot recommend booking a tour with Siret highly enough!

Love and Marseille
A great way to see the pharo, the corniche and Notre Dame de la Garde. I used to live in Marseille years ago. Somehow I had forgotten the beauty of some of the views. It really was breathtaking at times. It sent me back to being a kid, to my life with my parents and my sisters. To the walks up the hill to Notre Dame with my Mom. Hans was great, attentive and providing many historical details I was not aware of, or that maybe I had forgotten. Who really knows? I loved the biking experience. It beats walking, bus tours and cars. The bikes are powerful and it is easy to tune them to give you the level of exertion you wish. I very much recommend this tour to anybody. It will make you appreciate and love Marseille more. Thank you, Hans!

Great day out
We had a great day with our driver/guide Caroline. She took us to Aix en Provence first so we wouldn't miss the markets. She walked us through the city for half an hour to help us get our baring then we had 2hrs to wander on our own. Cassis was amazing too. As we were the only people on the tour, and I was feeling unwell towards the end, Caroline drove us to our hotel instead of meeting point. So grateful to her. Highly recommend this tour especially in the middle of summer when its hot, getting around in a/c is essential

This was part of cruise excursion and it was a great way to see Marseilles !! The car was in mint condition and we had a great time with Denis taking us to interesting places and tell us about the history. He made sure to ensure that the cars following him are not left behind or lost. He is super fun to talk and would highly recommend taking this experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Omar touring Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, and Cassis. Our driver was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish. As a thoughtful surprise, he even brought us fresh pastries and bottled water, which was such a nice touch and made us feel truly welcomed.

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.

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.

This was the perfect tour for our family. Anya was a fantastic guide and took us to two fantastic wineries and then free time in Cassis. We had a fantastic lunch and my wife enjoyed strolling through the shops. Anya was very personable, knowledgeable and just a joy to be around. What a great tour!!
