Go to the Calanque!! - We had an amazing time hiking the Calanque. Our tour guide, David, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The scenes were breathtaking and the beach and picnic stop was wonderful. 10/10 recommend if you are in Marseille and enjoy a good hike with memorable scenery. It served as a good workout too:)

Arthur is the best! - Arthur was such a great tour guide! He truly cared for the well being of the group and made the experience so much fun! Really recommend doing this activity while out in Marseille!! Only feedback I have is at the meeting point it would be nice if the person could wear a distinguishable shirt or have an umbrella to identify easier where they are because there was a lot of construction at the meeting point which made it a bit confusing.

Enjoyable day out! - Adrien was a great guide and made our day very enjoyable. It was a bit chaotic at the beginning to get the bus due to the strikes but once we arrived at the National Park, it was great scenery and a fun group to spend the day with. The swim in the cove was so nice and really refreshing!

Highly recommend this amazing hike. - The view! I had an idea of what to expect, but when you walk around the one bend, it’s suddenly right there and it was magnificent.
We didn’t know that transportation to the park was by bus, so bring change or your credit card. The bus cost 3€50 for the round trip.
Freddie was an amazing, informative guide. He set out a lovely light picbic once we arrived at the beach. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for him!

A beautiful hike - A wonderful tour with a lovely guide, taking us to the national park. A lovely walk and an even more beautiful beach to sit, swim and eat good food. I highly recommend this trip!

No show and poor communication - Unfortunately, this trip did not get enough participants and was canceled. I did not get the message until I had walked 1.5 miles to the meeting spot and no one was there. It took a while to sort out, but I received a refund. But I was very disappointed since I really wanted to go on the hike.

Complaint - your guide was a no show - My guide never arrived, I am very annoyed about this as I actually extended my accommodation by an extra day to do the hike.
Please refund my money
