Discover the highlights of Marseille on this half-day guided tour. Begin with a visit to the Old Port and the historic city center, where Marseille’s rich past meets its vibrant present.

Continue to the majestic Palais Longchamp, inaugurated in 1869 to celebrate the arrival of water from the Durance River. Its impressive architecture and lush gardens make it a must-see landmark.

Next, ascend to the iconic Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde—affectionately known as La Bonne Mère. Built in 1864 in a striking Roman-Byzantine style, the basilica offers panoramic views over the city and coastline from its hilltop perch.

Only us and the tour operator - our tour was individualized & operator made sure to give us clear information about everything. Thanks to him we were conveniently delivered & picked up allowing us to see the amazing & iconic Marseille sights. The van was luxurious & the driver spoke about everything we were seeing and played an audio to supplement. He was indeed personality plus!! His name was Djilani. He took excellent care to make sure our tour was over and above. He conveyed his passion for the city and allowed us to see the monuments & places that are well known, as well as the local streets, stores, and people. We learned many tips and heard some great stories, too. A+++ 🙂

The tour stared a little rocky a with two cruise ships coming in to port at the same time so the pickup group was larger then originally planed. The owner did everything he could to get the second bus there ASAP. He also offered to extend the tour return time so we would not miss anything promised. The tour it self was great, our guide, Claude and driver Joe, were very professional. We really enjoyed the full tour.
Great tour

Finding the driver and guide was easy thanks to explicit directions in the app. Communication from the tour guide ahead of time was very helpful. The tour was thorough and just the right length. The stops kept it from being boring but were just the correct length.

We had a nice tour with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, our tour guide spoke very poor English and I really didn’t understand what was being said. It’s too bad, I would have enjoyed learning more about this city.
