Merci Beaucoup! - We had a most memorable excursion to Aix-en-Provence and Marseille with our wonderful host, Pepe! Pepe was very knowledgeable, personable and added much color to the visit explaining the rich history of the regions and then giving us time to explore on our own. Would definitely recommend to any traveler coming through that part of the world! Cheers!

Exceeded expectations - The excursion was fantastic. Giovanni was superb: punctual, informative, a very good driver, and was very accommodating (slowed down and even stopped on the side of the road so we take photos). The itinerary is perfect if you only want to see a glimpse of each destination. For me, small group excursions is way better choice than taking the cruise ship's . It's more efficient: less waiting time, more places to cover, shorter walking distance from parking and quieter inside the vehicle. Ask for Giovanni if you have a chance when you do Naples' tour.

Provence - Unavoidable issues were the heat and stores closed on Sunday but our guide was knowledgeable and we got to see the highlights of Marseille and Aix which was a lovely town. I tell more on my blog glutenfreegastronomy. Blog.

Loved the balance of history and free time to dine and shop on our own! - Inez was wonderful! This was a lovely day starting in Marseille and ending in Aix. Our guide was sweet and knowledgeable and the tour started out with a lot of driving between historical sites and ended with some free time in Aix en Provence. She gave us recommendations of places to eat and shop. This was a great balance of small tour (my family of 5 plus three others) with history lesson and charming city shopping and eating on our own. Definitely preferred this size over some of our larger tours.

Wonderful visit to Provence. - Provence was lovely and our tour guide Morgane was friendly and informative even though her heavy accent was diilfficult to understand at times. It would have been helpful to know in advance that most shops are closed on Sunday.

This itinerary is similar to chartering a car - This trip is similar to a chartered car. When we arrived in Provence, the driver took us to the tourist center and left us to go shopping by ourselves. It was a pity that there was no explanation guide for the scenic spots. Maybe you can refer to other charter prices.
