Do it! And ask for Pepé as your guide! - This tour made my mom and me want to pack all our belongings in the US and move to Cassis! We learned a great deal about Marseille and the history of France's oldest port city; then we were transported to the beautiful town of Cassis where we walked on the beach, ate amazing local food, and travelled up the mountain to the neighboring national park that had the most beautiful view overlooking the city. Pepé was the BEST tour guide! He was knowledgable, passionate, and took great care of us. If you can, ask for him!!

Fun, gorgeous scenery, great giide - 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.

Fun half day trip - This was a lovely half day trip to Cassis. Cassis is a pretty little seaside town. Sitting with a coffee overlooking the harbour is quite relaxing, and it’s fun to glance up and see the ancient castle - built above the town - now a luxury hotel. All so neat to see! It was wonderful to have the chance to go to the top of Cap Canaille, for sweeping views of the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea and the town from above. But what really made this trip spectacular was our tour guide, Greg. He was 10/10!! Very engaging, funny, and so knowledgeable about the area and its history. We really learned so much on this trip. The actual town was very busy the day we visited (market day). In high season the streets must be jammed! Do the trip and cross your fingers you get Greg as your guide!

Amazing views, charming town and wonderful guide - We had a wonderful trip from Aix to Cassis. Greg Duvaut was an amazing tour guide - funny, knowledgeable- and took us to an amazing spot overlooking Cassis, into the town, and helped us get tickets for the 1-hour boat tour of Les Calanques. Highly recommend, just wish we had a full day to explore!

Take the tour! Forget driving or parking in Cassis! - Easy to sign up; clear information to meet up early in the morning; small group; comfortable van; knowledgeable and fun tour guide; time on your own to shop, eat, and explore Cassis. (You will wish you had more time in Cassis once you get there and see it!) Great decision to take the tour in order to see Cassis versus driving ourselves! We wanted to see this beautiful city and after being in France for almost 2 weeks, you learn that driving into small old cities and then finding parking, is too stressful. Doing either in Cassis would have ruined or time here.

Great half day trip! - 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.

Great day in Cassis - This was a fab half day trip. We went to the lookout and saw the harbor from above, then took a boat to see the Calanques. After that, we only had 30 minutes to explore the town and market. Jeff was a great guide, safe driver, and left us explore but gave us a nice background of info. If one thing could change, it would be to have more time in the town!

Dont go, or rent a car and go at your pace. - We arrived 5 to 7 min late due to a very unfortunate previuos experience with taxi. We arrived walking/running with our luggage to not be late. First thing the man does is look at his watch and pointing us ! Very very rude french attitude. Basicly you Pay to be driven, left for your own (we decided to take boat) and you JUST have time to get back to bus. No time for a cofee or sandwich ( the four of us decided to go running for coffee and sándwich Which make us be 15 minutes late ( this time we knew what we were doing). Obviously we was apset and giving us sh. Resumen: dont go to this trip u les you dint wsnt to enjoy Cassis.
