Great quick tour with Mediterranean breeze - The weather was perfect , we definitely recommends the boat ride (18euro extra) .
Susanne was great tour guide. She is from Australia originally so she could explain the way that English speakers can understand easily.
Perfect quick 4 hrs tour to get the coast al feel. Definitely recommend this tour for someone especially haven’t seen the ocean side of Provence.

Morning in Cassis - The view and boat ride in Cassis. Outstanding guide. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip. I used Viatour extensively 2 years ago during a trip to Paris. How do I get credit? I plan to take wine tour tomorrow. It was listed under Joanne or Leo Davis. Jacksonville.

Cassis half day from Aix - Fantastic! Guide - Arnaud is super fun and nice, he speaks multiple languages including good English and Mandarin! The trip covers three main highlights; scenic look out of Cassis, boat ride to see the calanques ( self pay) and a short walk in the city centre/ markets

Great trip from Aix - The boat ride when we got to Cassis was not to be missed, going in and out of the three calancs. I just wish we had been given a bit more time in Cassis.

Do it! And ask for Pepé as your guide! - This tour made my mom and me want to pack all our belongings in the US and move to Cassis! We learned a great deal about Marseille and the history of France's oldest port city; then we were transported to the beautiful town of Cassis where we walked on the beach, ate amazing local food, and travelled up the mountain to the neighboring national park that had the most beautiful view overlooking the city. Pepé was the BEST tour guide! He was knowledgable, passionate, and took great care of us. If you can, ask for him!!

Fun, gorgeous scenery, great giide - Greg was a funny and informative guide on our half day trip to Cassis. We stopped above the town for amazing views and then took an hour long boat ride to visit three of the Calanques. Would have spent a full day there if possible.

Fun half day trip - This was a lovely half day trip to Cassis. Cassis is a pretty little seaside town. Sitting with a coffee overlooking the harbour is quite relaxing, and it’s fun to glance up and see the ancient castle - built above the town - now a luxury hotel. All so neat to see! It was wonderful to have the chance to go to the top of Cap Canaille, for sweeping views of the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea and the town from above. But what really made this trip spectacular was our tour guide, Greg. He was 10/10!! Very engaging, funny, and so knowledgeable about the area and its history. We really learned so much on this trip. The actual town was very busy the day we visited (market day). In high season the streets must be jammed! Do the trip and cross your fingers you get Greg as your guide!

Amazing views, charming town and wonderful guide - We had a wonderful trip from Aix to Cassis. Greg Duvaut was an amazing tour guide - funny, knowledgeable- and took us to an amazing spot overlooking Cassis, into the town, and helped us get tickets for the 1-hour boat tour of Les Calanques. Highly recommend, just wish we had a full day to explore!
