Can’t go wrong with Domitia Tours and Djilani!

Hats off to Domitia Tours and especially Djilani! Apparently no one else booked this tour for 6 but they did it anyway just for my husband and me. The content of the tour was perfect - saw the beautiful highlights of Marseille in about 3 hours. Djilani, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. Would highly recommend Domitia Tours.

Rough start to an excellent tour.
Mark_B

Our tour Started off a little rough as we had to stand in an uncovered meeting place in the rain because our guide was held up getting through the security gate. However, once our tour began with our guide, Djilani of Domitian Tours, it was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informative and we enjoyed seeing some of the highlights of Marseille. We would definitely recommend Djilani as a tour guide.

Great tour of Marseille; Guide a lifesaver
John_M
, Apr 2022
Wonderful tour and in the end our guide was a lifesaver. He took us first to Palais Longchamp where there is a palatial ending for the viaducts bringing water to the city. Then the beautiful basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde hurch and views of the city. He finally gave us an option and we chose to view the old port and fort from above and continue along the coast to see many more sites. Now the lifesaver - at the end of the tour I left my backpack in the van with our passports. Luckily we had the driver's number and called him just before he got home for Sunday lunch with his mother. He was so kind to come all the way back for us. He saved us from a disastorous time on our remaining 2 weeks in Spain. Thank You!

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.
Frank_W
, Sep 2019
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.
