Spectacular South of France - 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.

Marseille and Cassis - 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

An excellent excursion - 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.

Great time! Amazing views and a fun way to explore Marseille - 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!

Nice day in Marseille and Cassis. - 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.

OK tour but Cassis is not what we expected - 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.
