    We saw more of Marseille than we would have taking the shuttle to town and wandering. The bus travels through the nerrow streets while the guide tells us the history. We stopped at a few places for photos and adventure. I was surprised how crowded the church was in Oct.

  • Good Tour, Needs Better Start

    The tour itself was good. Lots of good history, and we hit the major stops we wanted to see. Our only issue was directions to the start of the tour. The tickets said meet at the cruise terminal, nothing else. It took us talking to several people to find out we were supposed to meet by the police station 10 minutes away. We never did find the police station, we found the tour bus and driver way past where the police station was.

  • Marseille 4 hours do it!

    Paco was charming. Just the right amount of talk and quiet. The winds were so strong on that day that we altered a couple of the planned stops. But Paco made it seem flawless
