Fantastic! Book now!!!
Our tour guy was so nice. There was only six of us in the group so it was perfect. Casis and Six en Provence were amazing! . I would definitely visit again. Fabulous tour company, and fabulous day!
Operator response
What a pleasure to read your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of our small-group tour and discovering Cassis and Aix-en-Provence. It’s wonderful to hear that you had such a fabulous day and would love to return! We’d be delighted to welcome you back to explore more of France, including Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Normandy, Paris, the Loire Valley châteaux and the French Riviera. Best regards, A LA FRANCAISE!

Not a good experience
Do not use Viator to book this excursion. The voucher they sent us as well as all the reminders we received from them this week including one we received this morning all had the wrong time, so we missed the trip. Viator refuses to admit their error and refund the $715 we paid for this trip but were unable to go on. Find a vendor you can trust, and that definitely isn’t Viator.

A LA FRANÇAISE organizes the excursions and is unfortunately not responsible for booking confirmations, vouchers, or reminders sent by third-party booking platforms. We understand your frustration at missing your excursion due to conflicting information. Sincerely, A LA FRANCAISE!

Great tour and getaway
Lovely relaxing day. The drives were short (45 min or less) and beautiful rolling views. Our guide added a stop to a high overlook of Cassis. It was amazing. The loved both towns and would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see two sides of this beautiful area. We took the boat ride in Cassis which was breathtaking.

Definitely do this tour.
If you’re on a cruise ship that docks in Marseille, this is the best way to spend your day. Suzana was an amazing guide! She shared so much local knowledge and was kind and accommodating to all our requests. The stops in Aix and Cassis are everything you hope Provence will be!

Day in the South of France
This was a great way to see these French towns. Our guide Tomas was wonderful and gave us a walking tour of Aix and free time for a meal or shopping. In Cassis he pointed out recommended restaurants for a meal. Definitely recommend.

Just enough!
Excellent tour for those coming for an excursion from a cruise line. If you're only in port for a short period of time this is the tour you should probably book. We even had enough time for an hour boat tour of the Calanques in Cassis
