Wonderful day in Marseille! Great guide and beautiful tour! - “Joe” was a wonderful guide in Marseille and surrounding areas. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. We changed the timing for the length of the tour and he rearranged our travels to accommodate that. He was friendly, the van was comfortable and he gave us plenty of time whenever we walked around certain places. There are so many beautiful buildings, churches, natural beauty items to see. He made great suggestions for food and sights. It was a lovely day and we would love to come back and visit again. some day.

Knowledgeable Guide Brings Marseille To Life - Joe was so knowledgeable and personable! (I was also amazed at his ability to navigate very tight spaces with the van we were in.) Our small group allowed us to have plenty of interaction with him and to ask lots of questions. Highly recommend this wonderful tour.

Great experience - Our cruise was delayed so they picked us up later so we didn't need to rush which was super helpful. The tour was exactly as described, it was a little rushed but you're looking at a lot of things in a short amount of time. Djilani was very nice and knowledgeable, and personable. Dropped us off downtown instead of going back to the cruise port since we said we wanted to eat lunch.
