Me and my children had great time. Cassis was absolutely beautiful, we took an hour ride on the boat and then looked around the town. Pepe, our tour guide was most helpful and very informative.

We loved our tour of Marseilles and Cassis. The landscape was spectacular! Our tour guide Morgane was fantastic. Her English was first-rate and her knowledge of what was most important for us to see was invaluable.

The church in Marseille and our time in Cassis. Morgen was a fabulous guide! She stopped at many places for pictures and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. I loved the small group experience and would do it again

The Route des Crêtes is a long and winding road linking La Ciotat to Cassis and is an integral part of the Calanques National Park-this was our favorite part of the trip! I think sometimes the wind and weather conditions cause the road to close and it is not an option, so we were grateful to have this opportunity! It was a long drive, but well worth it! We wished we could have spent an hour here instead of 15 minutes!
This tour is wonderful but it does include a lot of time of sitting in the van. It took awhile to get to many of the destinations, but we all felt like we got to see a lot of the area in one day!
