About this tour
This eight-hour guided tour threads together three distinct corners of Provence in a single day. You'll explore Marseille's bustling harbour and historic quarters, wander Aix-en-Provence's elegant squares and thermal heritage, then finish at the clifftop village of Cassis overlooking the Mediterranean. A private minivan with air conditioning carries you between destinations, driven by someone who knows the region intimately and speaks English.

What to expect
You'll spend roughly two hours in each location, enough to catch the essence without feeling hurried. Marseille involves street-level exploration of lively quarters and the working harbour. Aix offers gentler walking through its graceful centre, where thermal baths and local life intersect. Cassis is the quieter finale—a fishing village scaled for strolling, with views down to sheltered inlets. The driver navigates between each place whilst you settle in; conversation and local knowledge fill the time. Expect moderate walking at each stop, nothing strenuous.
