Day trip to visit Cassis & the Calanques - My wife and I did the “day trip” visit to Cassis with Laurent of OohProvence booked thru Viator. We have to say Laurent was a wonderful guide and host for our private tour. He surprised us with extra stops at the Norte Dame de la Garde, a small fishing port in the 8th Arrondissment and a winery in the hills above Cassis. Laurent was the perfect host for a wonderful 10 hour day.

Magnificent! - We had the pleasure of spending 2 full days with Chris and all 10 of us loved it. We went to Cassis and Marseille on one day and 4 villages of the Luberon on the 2nd. Chris was just fantastic. He adapted to us very quickly with a very relaxed, likeable style. His knowledge was great and we all felt that were were travelling with a friend. When in Provence go with OohProvence. Thank you Chris and hope to see you soon!

Tours by locals Cassis tour with Christopher Curtis - We had a great experience touring Cassis with Christopher Curtis. We found him on the site Tours by Locals. Christopher met us at port as we disembarked from our cruise ship. We had a group of 14 with a mix of adults, teenagers, and children. Christopher had a clean, air conditioned vehicle waiting and took us to Cassis. He had arranged transport into the town, as large vehicles are not permitted to drive into the town. Christopher was very accommodating to all of our requests, and was flexible in the schedule. After Cassis, he took us to a spectacular spot overlooking the village to take pictures. He also took pictures with his camera, as he is a photographer, and emailed them to us after the tour. Once we returned to port, he arranged special transport back the ship for a member of our party who is handicap. All in all a wonderful day, and Christopher made it very easy. I would highly recommend him!
