Great tour and communication. - We had a great small tour. Our itinerary had to be modified because of the Cassis Triathlon. Instead of Cassis we toured Aix-en-province. We were notified before the tour. It was an amazing day, and our tour guide/driver Jeremy was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour group.

Great tour - Great tour, our guide was very friendly and gave a lot of information. Only disappointment was, we thought our group of 5 would have had our own driver from the description of the tour. We had 3 others with us and 1 spoke a different language so the guide was having to explain in 2 different languages.

Beautiful Cassis! - We had a great tour with Caroline! She showed us a bit of the city of Marseille and told us some history. She took us to the basilica where we had ample time to explore. The highlight of this tour for us was visiting the beautiful, quaint, walkable town of Cassis in the Callanques. After giving us 2.5 hours for lunch, shopping and exploring in Cassis, Caroline took us to the top of a mountain to see Cassis and Callanques coast from above. We loved this tour!

Spectacular views of... - Spectacular views of Marseilles and Cassis, in a more personal atmosphere compared to the larger shore excursions. Pepe, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend for anyone stopping here and wanting a thorough and breathtaking tour of the area.

Great tour - Well paced tour. Our tour guide Emanuel was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable. Would suggest in warmer months taking swimming attire for the beach at cassis as there is time to take a swim if you like

Good tour, but … - The transportation van was difficult to get in and out of for those in the backseat. Our driver/guide did a wonderful job navigating the heavy! traffic in Marseille to get to the sites and providing historical facts. Nice drive to pretty town of Cassis. However, we were there for 2.5 hours, which is much too long, unless you do the boat tour to see the calanques.

Fell well below expectations. - The guide was very nice and pleasant, but she was mostly a driver. She didn't lead a tour at two of the three stops and at the stop at Cassi, she left us for 2-1/2 hours. She indicated her operating company would not let her leave the vehicle due to vehicle thefts. There was no tour guidance the entire trip back to the port. The transportation was a 8-passenger van including a middle front seat with virtually no leg room. For the price of $170/person euros, this was not the quality of experience we expected.

Never go on a Sunday - I have written many 4-5 Star Viator reviews in my life, this is not one of them. This tour started bad from the beginning as you are provided a meeting point link to follow, after walking a mile to find surprise you are at the wrong place. When frantically trying to reach your guide, you are informed that they are waiting for you by your ship and there is a very small spot located in the bottom of their communication telling you that. Why provide a meeting point link if you’re not meant to follow it ? Once the tour began, our very friendly-nice guide gave us a quick drive by of many beautiful spots in Marseille with many being closed as it is Sunday. We finally reach the Notre Dame Cathedral in Marseille and are told we have one hour of free time. The only problem is Sunday mass is going on so you can’t see inside the cathedral. Knowing we have an hour to kill we find a coffee shop at the Cathedral with some of the rudest servers on the planet. After downing the coffee I went to find the bathrooms to find it takes one euro to enter. Don’t use a coin as it will not let you in, after tapping my credit card I was finally allowed entry. Once leaving the Cathedral we drove to the beautiful seaside village of Cassis and was informed we had 3 hours of free time for lunch and shopping. Who really needs 3 hours? Once our 3 hours was up you are driven back to the port. This has to be the most overrated-overpriced tour that we have ever taken.
