Nice day trip! - Thomas did a great job taking us around and teaching us about the history and culture of Aix-en Province, and giving us tips on what to see in Cassis. I definitely recommend this tour. It was way more than just transportation.

Excellent excursion to see beautiful parts of Provence - This trip completely met my goal of being able to see two beautiful and contrasting parts of Provence from a cruise without worrying about logistics. Very smooth experience, from pickup within the terminal so we don't even have to walk out, to drop off right on time. Sebastien was excellent and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the balance of short tour in Aix with time on our own in Aix and Cassis, because I prefer to do my own thing. I loved being able to catch a 1 hour boat ride to the calanques and relaxing on the beach (bring bathing suit and towel!). Note: this is not for those who want hand holding the whole way, nor for those who struggle to find your way back to a meeting place!

Essentially transportation, but great stops - This is a transportation only tour really. We had a great guide who gave us a few highlights on our way both stops. Once arriving you are on your own, which is what we wanted. The markets in Aix-en-Provence are amazing and the second stop Cassis is a great place to have lunch by the seaside. Try to local wine in Cassis, we had a local dry white Chardonnay which was amazing. July/August is hot and this is a walking at your own pace tour when you arrive at the stops.

A terrific day! - Sebastien was a wonderful tour guide. He was personable and pleasant to be with. We were a small group of strangers who enjoyed seeing and hearing about beautiful Aix en Provence and the seaside town of Cassis. Sebastien, thank you for such a great day!

Aix and Cassis - Pepe was a great guide, could talk about any subject and very clear about where to go during our free time. Would choose to do again, especially because it’s small size of group.

Aix and Cassis are a must to see - Our tour guide was fantastic. Worth seeing both cities. Got to taste local food/sweets at a few shops in Aix and had a fabulous lunch with sea view in Cassis. Wonderful view of Cassis from a mountain top.

A pleasant day touring with a great guide. - Our guide (Alex) took extra measures to ensure nsure our tour was educational and enjoyable. We hope people who consider a future tour of this trip would have the fortune to have Alex guide you too! Alex is most knowledgeable about art history, French history and world history to boot! He intimately knows the territory where he walked and drove us and found good places for us to discover sweet treats.

Fun but guide needs more experience - Provence was great. Our guide was a nice young woman but very inexperienced. She walked too fast losing some of the group several times. The worst was losing us in the parking garage!!! She had a list of restaurants but never told us where they were.
