The Guide Morgane is great. She can drive & talk at the same time! She tried to give us the information about Aix en Provence French accented English & showed us the beautiful cathedral in Marseille and the Basillica on the top with the best panoramic view of the city. It was exceptional!

We were a group of 12 people and we originally had booking for 6 persons only. Viator coordinated with the tour operation and was able to arrange one more vehicle so that all 12 of us were able to visit Marseille area together. We met up with our tour guide/driver Caroline (and the other driver whose name I forgot) at the port on time. Caroline was a wonderful person with pleasant and warm personality with very good knowledge of the area and good English. The other driver was not much of an English speaker so he just played the role of a driver of the van. Although we originally booked the tour of Marseille and Aix, we changed our mind in the last minute to prefer to go to Cassis instead and Caroline and the other driver were kind enough to accommodate our change. They took us to few scenic and culturally/religiously significant spots along the way before heading to Notre Dame basilica. She gave a good description of the area of Marseille and we can see her passion for the area she grew up in the way she described. After we spent decent amount of time experiencing the scenic overlook of Marseille and the beauty of basilica, Caroline took us to Cassis (about an hour drive) and gave good instructions on what to see and do in cassis. We did not go into the beach area nor the boat trip as we were short on time. But we hung around soaking in the amazing culinary scene of Cassis. Overall, had excellent trip.

Our guide was 15 minutes late. The tour is a basic driving tour of the city( a few stops). Our guide unfortunately did not seem that knowledgeable about the detonations and basically just took us to AXIO to shop. I would not recommend this trip.

Our trip was amazing, as was our guide Remi. He was very attentive to all of the group. He was very informative and looked out for the safety of our group when crossing streets and accounted for each at our meeting points. Gave us time yo explore on our own.

Remy, our guide, was amazing. Very personable and articulate. Marseille tour, church, and oldest bakery were very interesting. Fantastic lunch spot in a local bistro in Aix. Aix is a fun filled town. Overall a great and seamless 7 hour tour.

Easy connection with our guide right at the exit from the ship. There was only eight of us and we had comfortable transportation. We learned about our stops from our knowledgeable and passionate guide. We had free time in AIX en Provence to shop and have lunch.

Good overview of Marseille with stops a significant sights. Managed to catch choir practice in the church on the hilltop. Aix-en-Provence was the absolute highlight.

Wonderful experience. We had a knowledgeable driver (Pepe) who was very patient with my 80 year old mother’s mobility issues. (The fish reference is an inside joke.)
