Highlights
  • Luminy PN des Calanques - This is a guided and commented hike in the Calanques de Marseille national park. We take the time to take some photos in a wonderful landscape. The walk itself is beautiful and the view is just wonderful, then the real gem is the beach where you stop for a swim. The water is crystal clear. In general, there are not too many people when we arrive because it is the morning. One of the best swimming spots you’ll ever visit. Then we share a snack with local products and we can then return with energy and with many good memories. Our goal is not only to take you to this very special place but it is also to share a moment of sharing and letting go where each moment is lived and appreciated in the present moment. You will appreciate the attention of the guides for whom each participant must be a whole person.

Must do! - Bruno was an awesome and knowledgeable guide! The picnic was spectacular, it was nice to try some local foods. The hike was moderate but nothing Bruno couldn’t guide us through! The whole experience was very enjoyable, would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to Marseille.

Amazing experience 🤩 - Amazing experience! I was really glad to take the tour with Bruno as a solo traveler. Bruno made sure that we were all safe and enjoyed our time at the Calanques. He was patient and friendly the whole time. He also made us a picnic with wonderful food from the region and left us to enjoy the beach for an hour or so. 100% recommend.

Unforgettable experience - I had some hesitations after consulting several offers for a walk in the Calanques. Having reached the age of 80, I was not sure if I would be able to take a walk in the Calanques. After calling Bruno Aiello, he reassured me that I would have an unforgettable experience. Indeed, we climbed the Belvedere. Then descended into the creek of Sugiton, where I swam in the sea, overly happy by this experience and the beauty of the site. Meanwhile Bruno had prepared an excellent lunch with the local products he had brought: bread, cavaillon, creamy cheese, various sausages, delicious specialties whose name escapes me. As I climbed back, Bruno adjusted the pace to my capacity and age to reach a height of 220 m without difficulty while admiring the landscape, nature, vegetation and local population from crillons to eagles.

Nice morning in the creek of Morgiou - We had a very nice morning. Bruno made us discover a beautiful place. He took us through a path that offered beautiful views. In addition, he had prepared a small picnic to make us discover specialties from Marseille. Enough to regain strength for the return, after a stop feet in the water in a superb cove. We will contact him without hesitation for our next getaways on Marseille. Thank you again for this hike! See you soon

Don' miss this hike! Amazing landscape, very kind local tourguide with lots of experience &. takes good care of everyone - I travelled alone and felt well looked after right from the start. The hike into the beautiful landscape was professionally prepared and organised all round. Bruno took time for all the questions and needs during the tour. His homemade specialities from Provence were delicious. We went to a bay with a shady spot and it was a great opportunity to go swimming. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot about the area, the nature here and French culture!

Best guide for the Calanques & overall experience - Our trek through the Calanques National Park to see Morgiou was memorable. Bruno was an EXCELLENT guide whose passion for the sight and for the Marseilles area was a great bonus. Our midday lunch with local flavors after a swim at the bottom of the calanques was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend this tour if you’ve been searching for a guide (which you now need to enter the park). Look no further…book this one!

The Views!!! - What an amazing morning and hike. Definitely something we couldn’t do on our own. Views were spectacular!! Bruno was very friendly, gave great directions, and responded to question before the hike in a timely manner. Parts of the hike was a moderate level. Bruno did great job keeping the group together and going at everyone’s pace. Glad the hike started at 9am as the park started to get crowded late morning/early afternoon. The hour to relax, enjoy the beach, swim, and eat was special. Would highly recommend.

Must do ! - It was a great time spent enjoying our first hike with our 9 year old daughter. The views were breathtaking and the hike was challenging at first but very doable. Our guide Bruno made it very simple and interesting by talking to us sharing stories explaining about the Calaques and showing us some great view points. He was also very hands on with guiding us through the rocking hike. After a nice refreshing swim in the Calanque de Sugiton , Bruno arranged a lovely picnic and made us taste the local stuff of Marseille, France. It’s a must do !
