Hiking day - Great hiking experience! Maybe it was too hot and in days like these it shouldn’t be done. But the guides were nice, the picnic was lovely and the swinning at the beach was just perfect!

Perfect day in Calanques - This was the perfect way to add nature to our tour of france. The meeting place was very easy and the bus ride to Luminy relatively short as the Olympics has created a lot of traffic. Our guide, Yassine lead the group in a lovely qi ging warm up and advised everyone of the necessity to “breathe in” nature. The hike was listed a s moderate but be advised it is steep so make sure you have good shoes. The snack breka by the water was amazing and allowed for us to swim and enjoy the scenery - we stayed longer than expected which was fine for us. Those that had other appointments were led back to the buses. The hike out included some rock climbing assisted by a chain which was fun , also a steep ascent which was challenging. Our group agreed it was the best day and we were all surprised to learn that this was Yassine’s first tour as a solo leader - bravo Yassine!

Thank you Plnetazur for planning a full and meaningful day! - The view was spectacular and the Plnetazur's guide gave us a lot of assistance to help my family and I do our first rock climbing in our lives.

Discover where to redo - We greatly appreciated this outing supervised by two guides Adrien and Clara, professional, competent, and particularly attentive to each adapting their speeches and advice according to each. We were of different nationality, but they managed to create a real Harmony. The hike is beautiful and a little physical, but doable thanks to our professionals, provide good shoes and two liters of water per person. We highly recommend this hike.

Beautiful views of the Calanques - The guide was lovely as were the group of other travellers, mostly in their twenties, whilst we are fairly active early fifties. Most of the hike was within our usual capabilities, although some parts are quite rocky. The guide asked us if we were happy to return via a route with a short cliff scramble using a chain, which we agreed to. My partner was fine with this but I did struggle a little and was helped by the guide and another traveller. The beach and swim were lovely as were the picnic prepared by the guide. The walk was a little pricey considering a fairly large group, but to be fair it did include a lovely picnic.

Highly recommended for those who want to get away from the city and enjoy an experience close to nature. - A well organised adventure trip that starts in the centre of Marseille and shows a bit of the quintessence of the Calanques. We really enjoyed the whole thing, including the picnic and the expert explanations of our guide, Arthur, who also gave us useful tips for our stay in Provence.

Wonderful view - The scenery is amazing but the trail is not that easy. I believe that old people or sedentaries will have difficulty, just like me. I believe the timetable could also be earlier. The sun is very strong and does not have many shadows during the journey. The terrain is very steep. Guides were polite and attentive all the time and served bread with cheese, jamon and fruit.
