Absolutely worth the visit to Cassis. Incredible scenery and quaint town.
Note the meeting point is the Office de Tourisme. The address given caused some confusion for participants.

Beautiful city with port and wonderful boat ride to Callanques. Cold but sunny with Mistral wind. Lucy drove to a great overlook of the port and city.

It was a pleasant visit to the town of Cassis. I didn't do the boat ride, but others did and said it was good. I preferred to just wander around the town and have some breakfast.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Such a relaxed tour. Really just a drop off and pick up, with information on way and on return. Wish the timing was better for those who don’t take the cruise so they can actually get lunch.

We had a great time on our trip to Cassis. I am a new fan of these excursions. I like the small group format. 8 ppl max, it feels like a private tour. I am glad we took the boat ride and saw a bit of the coast. Shopping at the market was super fun. I just wish we had one extra hour to swim. We ran out of time to do that and the beach is literally right there! Highly recommend this trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Bonjour,

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your excursion to Cassis and that the small group format made it feel special, that’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to create.

This was a perfect way to see Cassis. Our group was friendly and our guide absolutely wonderful. A half day with a boat tour was almost not enough time. Just do this trip!

If you’re staying in Aix without a car, this is a great way to see Cassis, which you should not miss!!! It’s a tight itinerary, just 2 hours in the town, but I felt that was enough. I appreciated stopping at the view point before going down for the boat ride. It’s a very time efficient trip so if you want more time, you should rent a car and go on your own schedule. The boat ticket is not included but our guide Remy helped us get 3 euros off the listed ticket price.
Response from Host, May 2025
Bonjour,
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the visit to Cassis, it really is a gem not to be missed. We're happy to hear that the itinerary suited your needs and that Rémy was able to assist with the boat tickets and make your trip smoother. Your insights are especially valuable for travelers looking to make the most of their time without a car.
We’d love to welcome you again for more Provence adventures!

Loved being able to see the region from Aix, only wish the tour was longer! We took a boat tour once we got to the town which we felt really maximized our time.

I really like Cassis and the boat trip, but I wish the company provided more time to discover the village. In my opinion, four hours were not enough!

The weather was perfect , we definitely recommends the boat ride (18euro extra) .
Susanne was great tour guide. She is from Australia originally so she could explain the way that English speakers can understand easily.
Perfect quick 4 hrs tour to get the coast al feel. Definitely recommend this tour for someone especially haven’t seen the ocean side of Provence.

The view and boat ride in Cassis. Outstanding guide. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip. I used Viatour extensively 2 years ago during a trip to Paris. How do I get credit? I plan to take wine tour tomorrow. It was listed under Joanne or Leo Davis. Jacksonville.

The boat ride when we got to Cassis was not to be missed, going in and out of the three calancs. I just wish we had been given a bit more time in Cassis.

Greg was a funny and informative guide on our half day trip to Cassis. We stopped above the town for amazing views and then took an hour long boat ride to visit three of the Calanques. Would have spent a full day there if possible.

This was a great easy way to see and spend time in beautiful Cassis. A half day was just right. I walked all around the port, wandered through the Wednesday market and enjoyed the view from the top of the cliff.
