Excellent tour - Our guide Djilani is friendly, enthusiastic and informative. He provided rich context about the sites we visited and shared intro about Marseille culture and history. He always checked if we have any questions and always happy to provide additional info to help us learn and navigate Marseille. It is an efficient and relaxing tour. Highly recommended if you only have a few hours to visit Marseille and need an excellent guide.

Private whirlwind tour of Marseille - We only had half of a day to see Marseille, and our guide, Aziz, made it happen. We saw the top sites in & around the city. We even got to shop for smelly soaps at La Maison du Savon. Highly recommend Domitia Tours!

The atmosphere in Marseille, more cosmopolitan than the one felt in other cities of Provence, haș something special - Since our visit in Marseille was for only two days, we took a sightseeing bus which gave us the opportunity to discover many places in Marseille that we would not been able to see by walking. Was a great experience

Guide was very hood - Our guide, Mariano, was terrific. He was very informative and friendly. That being said, our group was very large-40+ people. Domitia Tours is a clearing house for Viator, Shore Excursions, Costco and others, so the initial meet up was confusing.

A nice overview of Marseille - Overall it was a nice sampling of Marseille from the conforts of an air conditioned vehicle. In total, it was about 4 hours or so. I loved the history and the facts provided. It was a little difficult to hear our guide as he was the driver as well (a headset microphone would do better). We stopped at this tiny family run bakery. We had time for photos. We did stop at several churches, which we could have reduced that number to give us more time to shop. We were given about 30ish minutes to shop and given this was our only opportunity to shop in France, I would give up a church stop for more time to shop. But our driver did drop off at the boat directly which was a definite plus!!

Disappointed by the customer service - The tour left without us. We came 5 min late, nobody contacted us. Very disappointed by the customer service. I would expect the tour company contacting us - the directions from the cruise terminal were not clear, it took us some time to find the place.
