Short but sweet

Great experience ! It was a short excursion but saw the highlights of Marseille. Norte Dame de la Garde is a must see! Magnificent view of the city!! Palais Longchamp is Insta worthy! Tour guide knows the city very well. He was on time, instructions on the voucher as to where to meet is on point. Was taken to the highlights of the city as described in voucher. Great driving skills! Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the city.

Bad organisation.

We arrived at the meeting point to only find other persons waiting. . The guide arrived later, but not the coach & driver. Had to wait over 1hour in hot sun facing a rubbish tip with nowhere to sit before eventually the coach/driver came. This made the tour run late,so we could not do anything in the afternoon from our cruise ship. No explanation or apology from tour provider.

Dear Sir thanks for giving a complement to our guide , a small group tour is max 25 persons we do not operate below that number. Like I did mention that our minibus got broken that's why we did operate the tour in a bigger minibus.

Dear Sir Madame Can you please precise the date of the tour ?and can you please mention the 2 site that you did not visit? like that we can give you a clear answer. The Bus was not late but we need to collect all the participants that's why we give some more time to certain guest to catch the tour.

Our driver / guide was patient with our delays getting from cruise ship to the meeting spot. Greatly appreciated! Really enjoyed Notre Dame di Garda and especially the water gardens of Palais Longchamp. Wish we could have spent more time there!. Overall exactly as advertised.

Perfect day in Marseilles

Djilani of Domitia Tours met us in a lot just a short walk from the pier. He was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and friendly!! We saw the major sites in Marseilles and had a bit of free time at Palais Longchamp and in the city. The Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde was stunning with beautiful views of the city. Touring with a small group of 7 made the excursion so enjoyable - we were able to see so much in 4 hours. Djilani even took us by a small bakery to sample some of the favorite local treats. I highly recommend this tour!

Overall, the tour was amazing! Our guide was very helpful and gave us many good tips to go around the city for free time. Our favorite time was at the Palace Longchamp and the top view from the church. The only suggestion: please update the timing, ticket dictated 9am, but the tour actually started at 10:30am.
