Awesome trip of Aix de Province and Marseille - Our trip was amazing, as was our guide Remi. He was very attentive to all of the group. He was very informative and looked out for the safety of our group when crossing streets and accounted for each at our meeting points. Gave us time yo explore on our own.

Fun with Remy - Remy, our guide, was amazing. Very personable and articulate. Marseille tour, church, and oldest bakery were very interesting. Fantastic lunch spot in a local bistro in Aix. Aix is a fun filled town. Overall a great and seamless 7 hour tour.

Highly Recommend! - Easy connection with our guide right at the exit from the ship. There was only eight of us and we had comfortable transportation. We learned about our stops from our knowledgeable and passionate guide. We had free time in AIX en Provence to shop and have lunch.

Not a fish story - Wonderful experience. We had a knowledgeable driver (Pepe) who was very patient with my 80 year old mother’s mobility issues. (The fish reference is an inside joke.)

Thank you Remy for a great unique experience! - We had a great experience with Remy! He was a wonderful driver and guide. He gave us just enough information to navigate on our own and pointed out all the interesting things not to miss! Perfect small tour and very flexible. Aix en Provence was a nice little area with great shopping and food! Perfect for a day trip. While marseille was rich with history, a beautiful basilica, and ocean/harbor views.

Not the tour guide’s fault - Our guide Jeff was great, but we didn’t get what we paid for. There was an elderly couple on the tour and one of them needed a walker. So, all said, it wasn’t the tour company’s fault, but not the best experience.
