4Enjoyable tour. Scenic destinations. Remi, our guide, was a gentleman.
The tour description is accurate. The vehicle used is in like-new condition and impeccable clear. Remi did a fine job.
3We had 8 people in our...
We had 8 people in our tour with a van as our vehicle. I was in the front with my husband, but had to sit next to the driver which was not really a seat for an adult. It was 1/2 a seat and my legs were cramped up by the gear box. We needed more air but when I turned it up we could not hear the driver. The driver explained some stuff and dropped us first at a church with little explanation. After that we drove to Cassis which was fine but the driver told us we had almosr 3 hours on our own which was far too long in a small town. We then went to the Basilica in Marseilles and had a 1/2 hr there and back to the ship. For $982 Cdn for the 4 of us we found outrageous as we were left alone in Cassis for almost 3 hours on our own. The driver was nice and gave good explanations but the Van should have seated no more than 6 people. A small group experience is supposed to be a benefit not a penalty. All 4 of us were disappointed and would not recommend the tour for the price nor experience. If it has included lunch and the boat tour in Cassis as part of the tour, it would have been a better value for the money.
5Sebastian was awesome!
Sebastian was our guide for this excursion and he was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and we saw some amazing sites and views. I highly recommend this excursion.
5It was amazing! Sebastian...
It was amazing! Sebastian was such a wonderful guide! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and saw so many beautiful sights! Truly a special experience!!
5Great tour and communication.
We had a great small tour. Our itinerary had to be modified because of the Cassis Triathlon. Instead of Cassis we toured Aix-en-province. We were notified before the tour. It was an amazing day, and our tour guide/driver Jeremy was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour group.
5Great tour
Great tour, our guide was very friendly and gave a lot of information. Only disappointment was, we thought our group of 5 would have had our own driver from the description of the tour. We had 3 others with us and 1 spoke a different language so the guide was having to explain in 2 different languages.

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.
