Full description
Start your day with a guided morning walking tour to discover the oldest district of the Phocean city : the “Panier”, with the Hotel Dieu and the Old Charity. Let’s not forget the “Vieux port” and its very original “Ombrière”. Enjoy the south part of the old port by crossing the “Place aux huiles” until the Abbey of Saint-Victor. Hop on in the van, to drive up to Notre-Dame de La Garde basilica. There are some places you can’t help but fall in love at first sight, and Cassis is part of them ! Drive to the Cape Canaille, the highest maritime cliff in Europe and enjoy the panoramic view on the bay. Spend some free time at leisure in the charming fishermen port of Cassis for lunch (possibility of swimming or sun-bathing). Possibility to join a cruise to discover the Calanques (cruise ticket not included), limestone cliffs diving in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean sea and creating natural coves (fat, rocky claws that resemble Norwegian fjords and poke out into the sea). In Aix-en Provence, stroll on the famous Cours Mirabeau dotted with refreshing fountains. Admire the private mansions from 17th and 18th centuries. Free time before to drive back to Marseille.

Absolutely brilliant tour, not to be missed. Very interesting to hear about how Marseille, came to be a tourist destination. Practical and comfortable way to see Aix-en-Provence and Cassis. Decent amount of free time dedicated to exploring both towns on your own, with good suggestions of things to see.

Great day with Gail- free time in every location which was very appreciated. Due to weather and low season there were no boats to see calanques so Gail actually drove us to one so we could see it from above. The views on this tour are outstanding and Gail was very nice and flexible. An excellent day- thank you!
