Private Tour: Marseille and Cassis Day Trip

Remy was our driver - EXCELLENT!!! Remy shisho us the highlights of Marseilles and gave us some history along the way. Then into Cassis - this place is not to me missed. Spectacular! Prompt and lots of time to explore. Ha gave us some restaurant recommendations and they were fantastic! Thanks for the great day Remy!

After picking us up at our hotel Tom showed us some of the famous sites in Marseilles and really enjoyed the back ground information to our host city. From Marseilles we drove the beautiful coast to the little fishing village of Cassis. We first stopped on the cliffs overlooking the village.....Tom explained the wonderful history of the area and then dropped us off in Cassis where we had a boat trip into the creeks of the limestone cliffs. Even though we ate at a very French restaurant with only french on the menu...it was no problem, the owner and waiters were very helpful and we had delicious food overlooking the small harbour.

Cedric was amazing! We really felt like a friend was driving us around. We went everywhere and it was effortless. We saw everything that mattered in a very relaxing and comfortable way.

This tour was absolutely fastastic! We were picked up at our hotel by our lovely guide Vanessa around 9 am. It was a private tour so my family and I were the only ones on the tour...It was perfect! We started off the day going to St. Nicholas Abbey and to the oldest bakery in Marseille. Then, our guide took to us to tthe Basilica of Notre-Dame of the Garde on top of the hill with spectacular view of all of Marseille and the nearby islands of Frioul and Chateau d'If. Then, we were off for a ride along the Corniche...Sea-side road on Marseille with beautiful ocean views as we made out way to Cassis. We made our way to Cap Canaille...The highest sea-side cliffs in Europe for amazing views. It was incredible! Then, off to Cassis, where we had roughly two and a half hours...We had an incredible lunch by the port and then hopped on a boat for a tour of the calanques. We did the 45 minute tour and visited 3of them...The calanques were one of the most beautful things I've ever seen...Don't skip this part. Then back to Marseille around 4 pm to enjoy the rest of the afternoon, sunset drinks and dinner. It was one of my favorite tours I've ever done! The only I wish for was more time...Cassis is an incredible place that merits more than 2 hours...But, if you want to see and do a lot with the comfort of a private tour, this is the way to go. Recommend it 100%!!

Our Guide, Marina, did an outstanding job of orienting us along the way to Cassis from Marseille. Our boat ride to 3 of the magnificent Clanaques (coves) was breathtaking. The view of the harbor from the top of the cliff was unbelievable. I'd do it again.

Our tour of Calanques and Cassis was wonderful. The driver picked us up promptly at the agreed upon time and made us feel welcomed. She was pleasant and was a wealth of information. The Calanques are so beautiful and Cassis was delightful. I highly recommend this tour.

We got to Cassis, had a fantastic lunch, by recommendation by our guide. Went on the boat ride around the bay. And got to see the back way around the port back to the ship. She was remarkable. Thanks for a fantastic day!

It is a must. The views are breathtaking. Our guide was very good.
