Great day trip out from Marseille - Great day trip out from Marseille through Provence countryside with plenty of time to explore both Cassis (we took a boat ride around some of the Calanques) and Aix en Provence, a beautiful city and very different from Marseille. Effortless arrangements. Very much recommended.

Day trip to Cassis and AIX - Caroline was a wonderful and pleasant guide to spend the day with. I wish we had more time in AIX. The boat ride in Cassis was too rough with the wind. But, the views were spectacular.

Tour guide Inés is amazing - Our guide Inés is so good at what she does. She recommended the best spots to go, answered all of our questions clearly and thoroughly, and drove super safe too. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Marseille without a car.

Great quick trip to Cassis - Our tour guide Carolina is great and she shared us the history and stories pf Marseilles & Provence. It was a great way to see Cassis if you don’t have a full day to visit there alone, great have to free time to roam around the town. It was a bit rush for aix en provence as we were only able to arrive the main street but wasnt able to see the nature side of it. Overall, it was a great trip and very friendly service

Nice transportation service - Great locations but it is not really a tour, is more a transportation service. Our driver was very nice and very helpful. We loved Cassis and Aix but probably could use more time one each town given it’s a half day tour is understandable.

More of a car service than a tour - Long story short, this is not a tour. Rather, if you want car service to Cassis and Aix then this is a good choice. We were hoping to learn about the history and significance of these cities, but soon realized it was not that type of experience. When you get to Cassis, I do reccomend taking to boat tour (it will be extra), unfortunately you really only have time for the hour ride rather than one of the longer ones where you can see more islands. Also, not sure why Aix en Provence is part of the excursion, it felt like we were taken there just to do shopping. Although it was a pretty town, I would have passed on it. Overall, i’d skip this tour and find a way to explore Cassis on my own.

Cassis was great - Cassis was small. A quaint little village w just enough time to wander around, see the sights & have lunch. 2 hours was not nearly enough time in Aix. It was too large to do much of anything. By the time we walked a block or two, it was time to return. Our guide didn’t seem to know too much of the history of either town. She was more of a very nice driver.

Don't do this tour! - Let me start by saying how much we loved Marseille, even though many had told us not to start our trip there and avoid it. What do avoid is this tour! Our lady tour guide ( I cannot remember her name) was beyond RUDE. She came over 20 minutes late and seemed to have an attitude. She had definite favourites in the van and when my husband asked her to repeat some information he hadn't heard, sitting in the back of the van, she said NO! Cassis was lovely and we needed more time there. You cannot go to the caves/fjord area and explore the town. In hindsight I would have gone on my own and given myself at least four hours. Going onto Aix-en-Province was a joke, as we used all our time travelling there and had no time in the town/city. 45 minutes was not enough. So disappointing! She gave us no indication of what to do or where to go during our short stop!She was not fun or informative. She seemed more interested in getting home and giving the rush hour traffic the time needed to return to Marseille. It was an absolute disappointment, waste of time and money.

A waste one time in Aix - Not memorable! The guide did not know one useful piece of information about the itinerary and kept on just saying how beautiful and famous the regions is... In Aix-en-Provene we were given almost no guidance and did not see anything as 2 hours is not enough to just wonder around. At least the guide could have told us there is a little train that goes around (had I known where to catch it, that could have been a good strategy). A waste of time. Cassis was nice - make sure you are the boat to the Calanques.
