Great day trip out from Marseille through Provence countryside with plenty of time to explore both Cassis (we took a boat ride around some of the Calanques) and Aix en Provence, a beautiful city and very different from Marseille. Effortless arrangements. Very much recommended.

Caroline was a wonderful and pleasant guide to spend the day with. I wish we had more time in AIX. The boat ride in Cassis was too rough with the wind. But, the views were spectacular.

Not memorable! The guide did not know one useful piece of information about the itinerary and kept on just saying how beautiful and famous the regions is... In Aix-en-Provene we were given almost no guidance and did not see anything as 2 hours is not enough to just wonder around. At least the guide could have told us there is a little train that goes around (had I known where to catch it, that could have been a good strategy). A waste of time. Cassis was nice - make sure you are the boat to the Calanques.

Long story short, this is not a tour. Rather, if you want car service to Cassis and Aix then this is a good choice. We were hoping to learn about the history and significance of these cities, but soon realized it was not that type of experience. When you get to Cassis, I do reccomend taking to boat tour (it will be extra), unfortunately you really only have time for the hour ride rather than one of the longer ones where you can see more islands. Also, not sure why Aix en Provence is part of the excursion, it felt like we were taken there just to do shopping. Although it was a pretty town, I would have passed on it. Overall, i’d skip this tour and find a way to explore Cassis on my own.

Cassis was small. A quaint little village w just enough time to wander around, see the sights & have lunch. 2 hours was not nearly enough time in Aix. It was too large to do much of anything. By the time we walked a block or two, it was time to return. Our guide didn’t seem to know too much of the history of either town. She was more of a very nice driver.

Our guide Inés is so good at what she does. She recommended the best spots to go, answered all of our questions clearly and thoroughly, and drove super safe too. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Marseille without a car.

We had a wonderful time on the tour and loved all of our stops. Cassis and Cap Canaille were especially beautiful and would have been very difficult to get to without taking a tour. Our guide, Sebastian, was excellent and shared lots of interesting things about the area as well. Thank you for a great day!

Our guide Caroline was very fluent in English and really explained the history and landscape and culture of Provence and in particular the two towns that we visited. She was patient, kind, and a wonderful driver as well. She treated my elderly mother with much respect and love.

The tour on a whole was quite good. We saw the most magical view of Cassis and the Mediterranean from atop a very high precipice. That vista was so memorable!
We enjoyed Cassis on our own as our guide, Sebastian drove us from place to place and gave us some history and facts while we were driving but we had two hours in Cassis to wander or have lunch. Seeing the crashing waves on the beach was mesmerizing and the tiny harbor town was incredibly picturesque. Our trip to Aix in Provence was less interesting and aside from the various cafes around town there was not much to see. Two hours on our own seemed like a bit too much.
