Guide was there on time, very friendly and gave lots of good explanations. Would have liked a little more time in Marseille. The Notre-Dame de la Garde church is very impressive and Cassis is so beautiful. I recommend this tour.

This was an excellent excursion. Emanuel took us on a wonderful two hour tour of Marseille, with stops in plenty of scenic places and with a good amount of time to visit the basillica. Then we drove (beautifully clean and comfy van, good seat belts, microphone) to Cassis where we had 2.5 hours of free time. He took those of us who wanted to do the boat tour to the ticket office and arranged our tickets (17 euros per person, 1 hour tour) then we had 50 minutes to have lunch before our small boat trip, which was excellent. When we got back we had half an hour to buy gelato and some shopping before meeting him at the van. On the way back to Marseille, we stopped at an amazing lookout over the bay. He got us back to the ship n plenty of time. Everyone was very satisfied.

I will start by saying we enjoyed our day out and our tour guide Morgan was very friendly and helpful. The tour itself though was a disappointment. Seeing Marseille by mini bus is fine and sufficient. However Cassis was a real let down. We were expecting a quaint old French fishing village but instead we got a crowded, noisy tourist spot with few shops and a lot of eateries. Perhaps people want to go on a boat trip to an island or something but if not then 3 hours is a long time to endure in this village. This is no fault of the tour operator per se but we were left disappointed overall.

Ennes was wonderful. We got to go see things we wouldn’t have been able in a big group or bus setting. Highly recommended tour.

The actual tour was not a problem and would have been enjoyable had we been able to see . Our guide/driver Morgan was wonderful and did everything to make us comfortable. The mode of transport was the problem. The van was very badly designed and felt more like a prison transport vehicle rather than a site-seeing vehicle. The cramped front seats were the only area where it was possible to see or even take a photo while in motion while anyone in the rear struggled to see from the vehicle let alone take a photo. The vehicle is totally unsuitable for the purpose for which it is being used. This criticism was the view of all six people in our party

Hi , our tour guy known as “Pepe” did a great job taking us to Marseille and Cassis. He was very informative, and we also had a great group of us for a total of six . There was no problem, picking us up at the port, arriving on the Royal Caribbean, sympathy of the seas. He had a signed, and it was easy to find me, I never ever use Viator, this was actually my first time, I usually book everything through the cruise ship, will do it again , got my moneys worth, cheaper than through Royal Caribbean, I would pay more and unless. I highly recommend this company Thank you again. marta and luis, from Miami.

What a fantastic way to see the highlights of Marseille and then go to see the beauty of Cassis. Pelayo , our guide was one of the best guides we have ever been with. Informative, witty and helpful in every way. The extra time in Cassis was needed to see this seaport and shop its streets. So different from Marseille. Highly recommended !!!

Our Driver Caroline was first an amazing driver, and super knowledgeable. Nice tour with just enough free time to explore along with seeing the Cathedral.

Catalina_P

Great saturday, with a perfect mix of Marseille highlights and a a wonderful visit of cassis and the calanques national park. Our guide Florence was very knowleadgeable, and always ready to assist and flexible. We were 6 travelers in total in a nice and comfortable van. While we were not on a cruise and the trip was dedicated to cruise passengers, she offered a pickup point in the city. The tour included a good mix of stops for photos in marseille and the narional park of calanques, as well as a stop to visit notre dame de la garde and a longer time in casis which made the day overall balanced and very relaxing.
