Sanction our guide was exceptional, 5 stars. Great English skills, very informative and went over and above requirements.

We had a wonderful time on the tour and loved all of our stops. Cassis and Cap Canaille were especially beautiful and would have been very difficult to get to without taking a tour. Our guide, Sebastian, was excellent and shared lots of interesting things about the area as well. Thank you for a great day!

Our guide Caroline was very fluent in English and really explained the history and landscape and culture of Provence and in particular the two towns that we visited. She was patient, kind, and a wonderful driver as well. She treated my elderly mother with much respect and love.

The tour on a whole was quite good. We saw the most magical view of Cassis and the Mediterranean from atop a very high precipice. That vista was so memorable! We enjoyed Cassis on our own as our guide, Sebastian drove us from place to place and gave us some history and facts while we were driving but we had two hours in Cassis to wander or have lunch. Seeing the crashing waves on the beach was mesmerizing and the tiny harbor town was incredibly picturesque. Our trip to Aix in Provence was less interesting and aside from the various cafes around town there was not much to see. Two hours on our own seemed like a bit too much.

Cassis is a nice town but we were told that options were having a long lunch or a cruise. Due to the weather condition cruise was not possible. I had a dinner reservation, it was not a great idea to have a big lunch as well. 2hours with no option was waste. The guide was rude, she talked only with Europeans, other ones didn’t get same treatment. Maybe she is a racist.

Tali_A

Beautiful scenery and Florence was a wonderful guide. The only downside was that 7 hours flew by and we would have needed at least double that.

A great way if you are staying in Marseille to see both Aix en Provence and Cassis to tick off the list. The mini bus holds 8 people and is really comfortable. Journey time to Cassis around 40 mins with 2 hours to explore then onto the gorgeous viewpoint and then 40 mins to Aix and 1.5 hours to explore with optional tour and then another 40 mins home. For us it worked well to be able to see a couple of towns and do the boat trip to see the calanques from Cassis which is a must do. Pepe was super friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Only improvement would be to have an extra 30 mins in cassis as we didn’t have enough time to do the boat trip to the calanques and have a nice fish lunch otherwise really great

Nice gal and thank goodness a safe great driver. Took up to the top looking over all of cassis. What a beautiful view. Long drive between Marseille and Cassis and also the drive back from Provence to marseille. Would have appreciated some history, stories, or any information about the 3 towns we visited while we were driving around. While at Provence we got good information for our hour walk.

If you are crunch in time, I highly recommend this to see Cassis and Axin-Provence all in a half (7 hours) day. There were 3 couples (including us) total in a small comfy van. The excellent driver (Pape) spoke mainly English & some French to another couple from Luxembourg. We have mainly 2 hours to eat & shop at each place. The trip was very pleasant & enjoyable!!! For those who are on a tight budget and has more time, you can visit both places easily by train or bus. The cost is about $15-$20 round trip per person by train and not too far. Distance is about an hour each site from Gare de St-Charles. This will save you $$, however, it requires more time & time to plan. Time is precious when you travel out of the country. Spend more $, you then have more time to go other nearby city. Even though we are very $ conscious, we still highly recommend this Viator trip!

Guide was more of a driver. Very nice and flexible for our venue due to rain. Did not give a lot of information on sites!!
