Awesome experience
This bike tour was a 10/10. The guide was fantastic and going around the city in the bike was amazing. The electric motor on the bike is a huge help as some of the roads are steep making it easy to pedal. My kids said this was the best part of the trip!

Half day cruise excursion in Marseille.
Guy was an outstanding host and tour guide! His local knowledge of Marseille made our tour informative and efficient. Since this was a cruise shore excursion for our group, he ensured we arrived back to our ship with plenty of time before departure. Thank you Guy for a lovely day!

Excellent. The only snafu was the time we were supposed to meet him and where. But it worked out when he called me.
Our guide was very informative, friendly, knowledgeable about politics and government. He showed us different social aspects of Marseille and took time for us to take many pictures.

Private tour of Marseille
We enjoyed our Marseille tour. Sylvio, our driver/ tour guide was very nice and pleasant and very knowledgeable. We learned so many things about Marseille - oldest city of France. We recommend this tour and this operator.

Operator did notnarrive
Can't rate this as provider did not turn up, claiming it wasn't booked. I confirmed with viator the week before and was assured it was fine. Confirmation was received and payment taken. This was my 50th birthday tour so VERY DISAPPOINTED! The only option offered was a bike tour...not quite a private tour in air-conditioned comfort. We declined
The only redeeming feature of this was a speedy refund.
Operator response
Hello Mrs Mandy,
We are sorry if there has been a misunderstanding with Viator about the confirmation of this tour. It seems we didn't get the information.
Also we don't offer bike tours....
So I am not sure you were in contact with our services.
I understand your disappointment and wish you had another experience.
Kind regards
