You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.
This seven-hour tour begins with a 45-minute drive through picturesque countryside to Aix-en-Provence, where you'll enjoy a walking tour of this quaint village, with its beautiful fountains and squares. Discover the Cours Mirabeau, a wide picturesque walkway lined with trees and cafés, such as the famous is Les Deux Garçons, once frequented by famous French cultural figures such as Paul Cézanne, Émile Zola and Albert Camus.
At this point, there'll be some free time in Aix, where you can do a spot of souvenir shopping in one of the small shops or markets, or, if you prefer, just relax and enjoy a coffee or snack at one of the many eateries.
The tour will then take you on the one-hour scenic drive to Cassis, famous for its cliffs (falaises) and sheltered inlets or calanques. Your guide will tell you more about the area as you travel. Cassis is a beautiful village with a picturesque port and you'll have approximately an hour and a half to spend shopping, eating or just relaxing.
After spending some free time in Cassis, your transportation will return to the port of Marseille to reach your cruise ship in plenty of time for your cruise ship's departure.
Please note: This tour is not suitable for MSC/Costa ships due to port timings, however you may wish to view our half-day or tailormade tours.
