Tutto ha funzionato come un orologio svizzero: la nostra guida, la simpatica Florence, è stata estremamente professionale. Parla ottimi francese ed inglese, ed è stata anche una perfetta guidatrice. L'auto, una cross over Mercedes nuova, era estremamente comoda e pulita. Abbiamo imparato un sacco di cose nuove nel corso della nostra gita. Grazie, Florence!

Awesome views and great places to visit!

Marseille is a nice port to visit and Cassis is a picturesque village which we could not get enough of. The guide was very nice and friendly and very knowledgable not only about the areas we visited but all of provence. We had a rainy day but it still was splendid. The boat tour was great as well.. those beautiful calanques and blue sea!

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide

It was an enjoyable and hassle free way to see some of Marseilles considering the volume of traffic in the city and the drive to Cassis provided some nice views. The boat ride was very good as well. Overall a great way to see the area. Our guide provided us with a memorable experience.
