white rocks and azure water - A couple of months ago I saw a stunning picture with white rocks and azure water, then I found out that it has Calanques.
So I was excited about this tour. And yes, in reality I was not disappointed, the tour was fantastic.
The bus is comfortable.
Aaaand Nicolas, he was our tour guide, intelligent, flexible and helpful. :)

Great little trip to do - our group was small so was easily managed by Nikkolas our tour guide. He went over the history and the points of interest during our voyage to Cassis from Aix. Air con van which was good. We had plenty of time to walk the streets and have lunch. Great little spot and recommend this trip

Great Cassis and Calanque trip! - This excursion was wonderful, would give it a 10. Seeing Port Moui and 2 other calanques was a highlight of the trip. That is a separate boat ticket, but is well worth it. Cassis is a cute little town. The view from Cap Canaille is amazing! And Nicholas, our guide, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the area! I would recommend this excursion!!!

Recommend if you want to see crystal blue water - Highly recommend this day trip! You spend time visiting the Calanques from above, and then time in the town - we went on an hour long boat ride to see 3 calanques. I’ve never seen water so blue and green and clear! The town was a picturesque seaside town.

Memorable day trip to cassis - Our guide Paul was an outstanding communicator. He kept us amused with great stories that gave us a good understanding of the history and insight into life in Provence today.
His sense of humour adds so much to the experience. I was travelling solo and there were two other travellers - so a small group - but Paul quickly made us all feel quite at home.
Thanks Paul for a memorable day which started in sunshine and ended with a dramatic storm - almost as if Paul had planned it that way! Parfait

Mediocre guide led to somewhat disappointing tour - We were a little disappointed with this experience, especially given all the positive reviews. Our guide was a little overwhelmed and didn’t manage the group properly. She was slightly delayed at the start of the tour and then criticized us for delaying the group by using the restroom! Also, there was one complaining group member but the guide could have managed that situation better and prevented that from ruining everyone else’s experience. We were also told at first that we had to chose between Port Miou and the Calanques boat tour, though other reviews suggest that folks did both. Also, the guide should have been more proactive in sharing information / insights on the locations / things to do, and generally keeping things moving. It seems like other reviewers had better guides and therefore a better experience.
