Description
This is a great tour for cruise passengers as driving time is limited and all stops are easily accessible. Marseille is the oldest city in France, and it offers great touristic attractions. In this tour we visit the main highlights and learn about the quirks and identity of this incredible place. Marseille is huge and it is a must to have the help of a local to discover it. What is best to visit is not necessarily in the centre, and to take advantage of the limited time you need both a knowledgeable person and a vehicle. Our driver/guides are the perfect people to make you discover it, and our fully air/condition vehicles perfectly adapted for the task.

Great tour!
We had an amazing time in Marselle with Alex. There were 8 of us and he made it fun for everyone, took us to see all the highlights in the city, provided information about the history and other interesting insights. I’m so glad we picked this tour, I’d definitely recommend it to others

Marseille is beautiful
Magnificent morning excursion this Sunday. Very friendly guide who knows his subjects well. A true Marseillais at heart, he made us appreciate a city we will return to! Thank you, Clément.

Wonderful 1/2 day shore excursion.
We had a wonderful tour with Diana. She picked us up right from the cruise port. We saw all the stops around town and even had time to stop at an additional church. Diana was knowledgeable and friendly. Her English was very good. We saw so much more than we would have on a cruise ship tour. Great job.

Great experience and guide

Great private tour.
Diane was so knowledgeable and communicated the information very well. She had someone riding with her because he was being trained. He also added to our good experience. Diane was very kind and considerate and shared so much good knowledge with us. I highly recommend her.

The 4 hours tour was a quick taste of Marseille with enough to make you want to come back. Jenny was great at brining the local context to the sight seeing and made things fun and light. She has a great sense of humor as well.

Operator response
Hi, we don't think you should be allowed to review a service that you didn't try. We organise shared tours for very competitive prices. Private tours have more flexibility as we can adapt to more specific needs, this flexibility has a cost. We are happy that you enjoyed visiting Marseille by yourself using public transportation. There is no point in writing silliness.
