  • 5Great Tour

    This was a wonderful tour. Our only glitch was where to find the tour operator when we got off the cruise ship in Marseilles. We should have met him right at the ship exit, but we took shuttle into town to find him. All worked out in the end. Town of Casse was awesome!

  • 5Excellent choice for Marsaille

    Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about our tour. He took us to spots in Marsaille and was very considerate of women who couldn’t walk as fast. He booked us a reservation for lunch in the most beautiful scenic. Restaurant and the food was amazing. Overall an excellent tour with an excellent guide.

  • 5Private Tour of Marseille with Bruno

    We had an amazing day in Marseille. Thanks to our amazing tour guide, Bruno. Bruno was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly and welcoming. He made the tour so much fun and enjoyable while sharing so much interesting information about the areas we've visited. You could tell he truly loves what he does. Cassis was absolutely breathtaking and without a doubt the highlight of our entire trip in Marseille. The beautiful scenery, charming atmosphere and stunning views made it a place we will never forget. Thank you Bruno for making our tour so much fun and memorable for the Fam. And also, thank you for my bottle of wine. Un grand merci.

  • 5An excellent day trip to Aix-en-Provence, Cassis and Marseille

    An excellent tour of Aix-En-Provence, with a great photo stop on the Falaises de Cassis, lunch in Cassis and a trip to Notre Dame de la Guarde in Marseilles with its views. François was an ideal guide: friendly, funny and informative. Bernard was an excellent driver. Truly felt like a “Super VIP” experience. Consider adding on another hour in Marseille!

  • 5Wonderful tour

    We really enjoyed our tour with Gilles. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have seen negative reviews that said he was on his phone too much but I felt that his time on his phone was more about making sure we never felt like we were on his schedule. He had a tour in mind for us but also never wanted us to feel rushed or pressured. He wanted us to spent as much or as little time wandering as we wanted. He was always present both physically and mentally if we wanted to talk or learn about something but it never felt like he was hovering. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great information with us, as we are very interested in history. He really made sure we saw wha we wanted and he even ended up spending extra time touring with us. My older and less mobile parents were with us too and he was always very patient making arrangements so that they could do things at their pace while the rest of us did things faster. Over all, a wonderful tour

About Marseille

Marseille, France's oldest city, is a Mediterranean port of old forts, hilltop basilicas and limestone coves, and the home of bouillabaisse.

Greek sailors founded Marseille around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. The Vieux-Port is its centre, a long harbour ringed by cafés and the morning fish stalls, guarded by two forts at its mouth. On a hill above, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde carries a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary and shows the harbour and the islands from its terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Marseille: Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica (La Bonne Mère), Old Port of Marseille (Vieux Port), Vallon des Auffes.
