  • 5Enjoyable trip back to historical sites

    I had an enjoyable 1-day trip with Thomas. The 10-hour trip to 3 tourist attractions was well-timed and Thomas is knowledgeable and passionate about his Provence to give lively and succinct briefs about the various historical details and went above and beyond to ensure our tour group had a great experience.

    This is a great experience to see the Marseille countryside. While it is a longer side, the pacing is great. Also, the vineyard had great wine. I would definitely do this again.

    Laurent was lovely and the tour was really fun! Each location was beautiful and we had a decent amount of time to do some sightseeing before moving on. Especially la Pont, it was a lovely nature break after travelling through some cities on our trip.

  • 5Amazing day in Provence

    We were able to visit so many awesome sites in one day and our tour guide Marion was fabulous! She knew so much about the area and also happens to be a wine making expert, which added so much depth to our understanding of the region. Highly recommend this 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.
