5.00Our guide, Pepe, clearly loves his hometown and showed us many reasons why! Although we had to miss what was the prettiest part of the coastal Marseille (because of a Sunday marathon), we saw the cathedral and the harbor and the oldest church. Our tour next took us to Aix en Provence, which is so charming with its postcard-perfect cobbled streets, fountains and cafes. Pepe gave us tips and let us explore on our own for over two hours. This was a fantastic day’s excursion from the port of Marseiile.
In-Depth Delightful Tour

5.00Pepe had our attention upon first meeting at the cruise port in Marseille and he kept it enthusiastically throughout the day as he whisked us around Marseille and the entrance of Provence’s stunning jewel Aix-en-Provence. For the history buff there was plenty to captivate and for those who preferred to take in the sights…they certainly didn’t disappoint. This tour was amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend Pepe’s attention to detail!!
Great trip

4.00We got lucky and ended up with a private tour for 2! Our guide was very nice, but we would have liked more information about the sights that we were seeing. She shared much about local culture, but it would have been nice to have had more details about the actual sights (inside).
Our guide was great. He...

5.00Our guide was great. He provided great recommendations and made it easy for us to get around. Much better than doing a large group tour.
Perfect Day!

5.00Lucie was an amazing tour guide. She is a wealth of information. She organized the tour so we got to see everything we wanted without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this excursion.
Very Disappointed in the service

1.00Terrible. I had a duplicate booking for a private tour (Rick San Martin), for a group of 5. I tried to cancel the small group tour (within 24 hours but spotty service). The guide refused to cancel and refund the small group tour. The private tour was wonderful. I need the small group tour refunded.
