Beautiful excursion! Plenty of time in Aix to walk to the different sites. The food was incredible also!

Joe_L

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.

Joy_M

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.

Good overview of Marseille with stops a significant sights. Managed to catch choir practice in the church on the hilltop. Aix-en-Provence was the absolute highlight.

Sheryl_B

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.)

Robert_W

The views of the areas we visited, especially Cassis! Our tour guide was outstanding! Boat ride in Cassis was gorgeous! Must do, best $19 I ever spent!

Christine_S

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.

Jenny_S

Walking around town seeing the historical sites tour was informative aix is real nice town, love the option for lunch

Heather_m

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.

Inese was informative, made a number of scenic stops and afforded us an addictive amount of time at each stop along the way. A truly wonderful experience.
