Great Tour and excellent service
We met at 8:00 and the representative found out the driver called in sick. Within 15 minutes they had us with another company doing the same trip! Our guide Silvio was wonderful. The views spectacular. Take the boat ride in Cassis, it is very much worth it.

Cassis Bus from Aix Round Trip Half Day
Jesse was our driver and our guide. He was very kind with a great sense of humor, especially because my husband talked his ear off and kept joking with him about when he was going to marry his girlfriend. His overview of the area and its history was great! We highly recommend this excursion!

A wonderful half day tour to Cassis.
A wonderful tour which was lead by two lovely and knowledgeable guides Celestine and Jassy. Both made the half day tour fun and full of interest. They are excellent drivers and the van. was comfortable. We stopped off once to look at the awesome sea view of Cassis from a yellow stoned high cliff. Célestine pointed out a flowering Rosemary bush amongst the dry earth.
I found Cassis, an old fishing village, to be stunningly lovely with pastel coloured houses along the front. There are several inviting restaurants. I adored a crepe and a cool lemonade. Had a paddle in the warm blue sea. The beach is of pebble and sand.
For shopping there are plentiful small shops along the winding streets.
This tour was a highlight of my Aix en Provence holiday. The half day tour was around four and a half hours long.

Excursion to Cassis, visits to the Calanques
Our guide was great, he gave us very good information about the region, we were with a group of English speakers but he also spoke to us in French, which is very appreciated.
A big thank you to our guide Greg
