Day Tour from the port of Marseille: Time Management

Your day can run up to 8 hours, adapted to your ship’s arrival and departure. For example, meeting at 9am and returning by 5pm. If your ship docks late, we’ll adjust the day so you still make the most of your time in Provence. In case of traffic, we build in extra time to have you back at the gate on schedule.

Your Private Provence Guide

We have a team of local guides who will share with you the history of Provence, fun facts, and personal anecdotes.
We speak French, English and Spanish.

Private Tour VS Group Excursion

Choosing a private tour means having a passionate local guide entirely at your service, not sharing a bus with forty strangers on a fixed script. Your guide adapts to your questions, your pace and your interests, and takes you to the places most cruise excursions never reach.

Transportation on a private tour

We drive you in a Mercedes V-Class; a comfortable, air-conditioned van that seats up to 8, with water on board and space for luggage.

Cruiser’s Reviews

We had a wonderful tour with Rémi. We started at a magnificent state park along the cliffside drive, where we took beautiful photos just outside Marseille; then we went to the lovely seaside town of Cassis for a pleasant lunch. Finally, we visited the stunning basilica in Marseille and saw some other magnificent sights, allowing us to truly enjoy the city. We would have loved to spend more time there, but we were on a cruise. I highly recommend this tour; Rémi was very flexible and tailored the itinerary specifically for us..

A memorable day
We had a wonderful day visiting Aix en Provence and Cassis with Remy. He is personable, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and was happy to answer all of our questions. He took us for a wine tasting at a beautiful winery, and he suggested an excellent place for lunch in Cassis. We are very glad we had the opportunity to do this tour.
