We went on a hot day and the Parc Nationale de Calanques was closed due to fire risk - no fault of the tour, of course. This gave us more time in Cassis and at the vineyard. The village of Cassis was far beyond what I expected and we’ve traveled extensively in France. The boat tour of the calanques is the best part of the day - you’ll love it. We then had lunch at a restaurant right on the dock and the view, food, and drinks were all wonderful. Next, because of the extra time available (due to the national park being closed), we had a lot of time to visit all the shops and boutiques in town - certainly that was an amazing experience. Finally, the vineyard tour/tasting was pretty “meh” and comparable to many others - again, not the fault of the tour but the French woman doing the presentation seemed somewhat disengaged and appeared more or less to be going through the motions. The downside (besides the park being closed) was our tour guide didn’t speak French (I do) and she mangled the translations somewhat. Also, her guided tour of the town was a bit wonky with some uninteresting stops for everyone along the way. Finally, she was a little too critical of the French and life in general and I generally pay tour guides to entertain and inform me, not to provide their criticism of anything to me. Overall, a solid B+/A- experience and I recommend it but the difference between a 4-star day (this is probably the worst that you can expect) and a 5-star day will the be presentation skills, knowledge, and positive attitude of your tour guide.
Bonjour Odyssey65528114654, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed Cassis, the boat tour, and had the opportunity to make the most of the extra time in the village despite the Calanques National Park closure due to the fire risk. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the vineyard visit and your guide. While the vineyard presentation is led by our partner, we will certainly share your feedback with them. We also take your remarks about the guiding style and translations seriously, as we always aim to provide an informative, engaging, and positive experience for our guests. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience next time. Best regards, Carole from Ophorus team
This tour included a stop off to view Cassis from a high vantage point overlooking the town (great views), a boat cruise of three calanques (fabulous), a guided tour of Cassis (interesting but would prefer that tours of particular shops not be included), some free time which included lunch (enjoyable to have time to wander around town but we were recommended a restaurant that did not meet our expectations - in retrospect it would have been better to make our own choice) and a winery tasting (nice to get up close to a vineyard). The highlight of the tour was definitely the cruise - the calanques were gorgeous.
We traveled with Alex the tour guide who was awesome and made this tour completely worth it! He was so knowledgeable it was great to learn SO much about the history of France/Provence/Cassis. The trip starts with a drive to a high view of the city of Cassis where Alex gave us history of the village and the Calanques and we got some good photos. We then went into Cassis for a 1 hour boat ride to see 3/8 of the calanques, it was beautiful. After, Alex gave us a quick tour of Cassis and we went to 2 stores (red coral jewelry and a perfume store). Based on the group, he recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch where we ate with the others in our group. Next, we had an hour to walk around the village on our own. Last, we went to 1 winery (bodin) for a quick wine tasting. I would recommend this tour if you have a free day and love history and the calanques.
Alex was the most experienced, knowledgeable, and chilled tour guide of all the 5 tour guides we experienced. We learned a lot from him about the culture, history, and geology of the region. He also provided great context to understand the regions' wines. This tour to Cassis and the calanques was beautiful and would get a 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that this expensive tour did not include lunch. The wine tasting was good but I had better in Bordeaux and it included lunch.
Aix was supposed to be the last stop on a tour of Eastern France; however, we decided we needed to at least see the Mediterranean. This small group tour was the perfect experience to end our trip on. The beauty and charm of Cassis and the boat ride into the Calanques was amazing as was the drive up to the sea cliffs overlooking it all. Our driver/guide Ines was great. Friendly and knowledgeable of the region and French life and culture. Only downside was the hostess at our wine tasting (afternoon May 25) seemed a bit bored by the whole business and would have rather been doing something else instead. Just saying…
Cassis was stunning. The views on the drive, the boat trip, harbour, wine tasting, the host…all of it. Made my birthday very memorable.
What a great day spent with Ines our guide and 5 other visitors! We had a lot of free time in Cassis and the boat tour was heaven! One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to and seen! The winery stop at the end was a great way to end the day with new friends and relax! Thanks to Ines for being a fun, easy going guide!
This day had pretty much everything: a history lesson of the region on the drive to Cassis from Aix: amazing views of Cassis from the top of Cap Canaille; fun boat ride through several of the Calanques near Cassis. A wine tasting! Shopping! Eating! Back in Aix by 4:30. Our guide, Alex, was super knowledgeable about history, geology, wine, and especially art. What a great day
Julian was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His personality set the tone for the tour. The small-size (8) group was great. Everything was handled efficiently and on time. Beautiful city.
A quick trip to Cassis with a small group. First small boat out. A classic to the Calanques, then lunch and market and a few shops. He recommended restaurants and how to beat the tourists. Then a great view and wine tasting.
