Amazing tour of Marseille, France and Cassis, France - Amazing tour of Marseille, France and Cassis, France. We had a tour guide for the day, Morgen who was a native of Marseille and extremely knowledgeable! Stops at churches and museums for photos and educational info along with a visit to Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Abbey of St Victor. After, we headed thru a long and winding road to Cassis and the Calanques. We took an boat ride to 3 of the Calanques, which are limestone formations and have some of the most crystal blue water so unique and enchanting! Enjoyed some local snacks along the way, and I highly recommend the homemade marshmallows and croissants!

Spectacular South of France - We loved our tour of Marseilles and Cassis. The landscape was spectacular! Our tour guide Morgane was fantastic. Her English was first-rate and her knowledge of what was most important for us to see was invaluable.

Small group, big reward - This was a good way to see little snippets of Marseille. Cassis is a small coastal town about 30 minutes away, but a very nice and relaxing stop. Our guide, Petra, was a very good driver and made the trip enjoyable. We enjoyed the small group of 8 instead of a big bus. We did not do the optional 1 hour boat cruise but those who did got very wet so beware.

Great time! Amazing views and a fun way to explore Marseille - The Route des Crêtes is a long and winding road linking La Ciotat to Cassis and is an integral part of the Calanques National Park-this was our favorite part of the trip! I think sometimes the wind and weather conditions cause the road to close and it is not an option, so we were grateful to have this opportunity! It was a long drive, but well worth it! We wished we could have spent an hour here instead of 15 minutes! This tour is wonderful but it does include a lot of time of sitting in the van. It took awhile to get to many of the destinations, but we all felt like we got to see a lot of the area in one day!
