Top Marignane Private Sightseeing Tours

We had an amazing experience with Provence Amazing Tours and highly recommend them! From the very beginning, Laurent, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure our tour fit perfectly within our cruise ship schedule. He contacted me by both text and phone, was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. His attention to detail gave us confidence that everything would go smoothly. Our tour guide, Bernie, made the day unforgettable. He was fun, friendly, easygoing, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. One of the highlights was that he even took us to the LEGO Store in Marseille, even though it wasn’t part of the standard itinerary. That small detour meant so much to our group and showed how committed he was to making the day special for us. Bernie was punctual, the van was clean and air-conditioned (a huge plus on a warm day!), and he made sure we returned to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare and absolutely no stress. He even joined us for lunch, which made the experience feel even more personal and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a relaxed, well-organized, and memorable shore excursion, Provence Amazing Tours is an excellent choice. Thank you, Laurent and Bernie, for a wonderful day we’ll always remember!

Herve was a phenomenal guide. He evaluated my interests and expectations of this booking and met all of them. We drove up to the top of Cap Canaille for stunning views of Cassis and the Mediterranean. We toured Marseille, including the Basilica, Palais Longchamps, the ports and harbors. We walked around Aix- en- Provence and finished the tour with a visit to an overlook of the Calanques Canyons. Herve was informative and very personable.

This was the fourth of 4 exceptional private tours with Romain from Guide Provence. We had so much fun! We learned so much! This tour was worth every penny. I highly recommend Guide Provence and Romain for all of your private tour needs!Romain met us in front of Aix’s tourist information center, an easy walk from our hotel. He showed us all around the streets and alleyways of Aix, pointing out certain stores, museums, buildings, Cezanne's childhood school and home, university buildings, and churches while regaling us with fun historical details and vignettes about all kind of things -- art, history, culture, and more. Fantastic!We then hopped in his very comfortable, roomy car and he drove us to Cassis, taking the scenic route, stopping at a gorgeous overlook of Cassis and The Calanques National Park on a beautiful windy day that refreshingly threatened rain from time to time. Just as we got back in the car for the rest of the drive to Cassis, the clouds let loose — it was spectacular!Cassis was colorful and charming, unique and refreshing. It was so different from all of the other towns we had visited so far. We stopped at a cute cafe and had a delicious spread of local wine, local cheeses, shrimp, mussels, bread, greens, olives, pickles, and the like. The meal and conversation were memorable and such a treasured part of our visit. (Romain is so fun and easy to be around!) After lunch, we walked around the port and the town as he told us more about the local geography, the Calanques, the local history and culture before taking the drive back to our Aix hotel. (I'm aware that a boat tour of the Calanques is a typical add-on to a tour of Cassis, but the wind, weather, and choppy seas did not lend themselves to boating that day, so I did not bring it up. Neither did Romain. We had an extraordinary time nevertheless!)Throughout our 4 different private tours with Romain, he readily adapted aspects of our tours to the weather, to any logistical problem of the moment, to any stated desires. This is just one of the reasons that I often hire a private tour guide on so many of my vacations. My friends, family, and I all love to learn. With an exceptional private tour guide like Romain, all you have to do is show up — and you will learn. All of the typical tourist concerns of unforeseen obstacles on one’s big sightseeing day will fade away — because a great private tour guide will take care of all that, will adapt to the weather, to the unforeseen circumstances, to your individual preferences, for you. Romain took care of everything for us! He is outstanding!If interested, I also posted a general review of Guide Provence and Romain's outstanding service here: https://www.

What a beautiful day! Cassis is a charming town and the calanques were beautiful. Our guide, Silvio, was fascinating to talk to. He was knowledgeable about France and much of Europe as well. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Geraldine was a super guide! It was a cloudy rainy day, but she made sure we stopped at places with great views & we enjoyed ourselves (we were a group of 5 women in our 60's). Since it was rainy, we didn't spend the bulk of the tour in Cassis; instead, she took us to see the famous basilica in Marseille, the Notre-Dame de la Garde (Our Lady of the Guard), then the tour continued on the scenic road to Cassis. Geraldine took us to the top of Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in France! Spectacular. Then to Cassis, where we enjoyed a little shopping and had a chance to enjoy a glass of wine at a port-side cafe. Geraldine was courteous and considerate, and knew a lot about the area. Highly recommend!

Views from top were magnificent. The colors of the sea, the visage of the mountains and the cityscape.

Our guide Herve picked us up right on time- he was knowledgeable about the area and took us to notable historic sites in both Aix and Cassis. We visited a chocolate shop in Aix to sample calisson and delicious chocolates. We had time on our own in Cassis to get lunch prior to the boat trip for the Calanques. Cassis was a delightful seaside community. The boat trip was fine. The weather was cloudy and threatening rain so the color of the sea was grey and not the brilliant blue seen in the pictures- but the scenery was still worth seeing. It was a long day and very nice to have a knowledgeable person doing the driving!
