About this tour
A 6–7 hour private tour threading through three distinct Provençal destinations. You'll explore Aix-en-Provence, famed for its elegant fountains and refined architecture, then head to Marseille to wander the old port beneath the striking Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. The day closes in Cassis, a compact fishing village where dramatic limestone cliffs frame a sheltered harbour. An air-conditioned vehicle and local driver handle navigation; ideal for cruise passengers or those wanting flexibility without group constraints.
Highlights
- Aix-en-Provence's baroque fountains and tree-lined squares
- Marseille's old port and hilltop basilica views
- Cassis fishing village and pastel-shuttered waterfront
- Cap Canaille cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean
- Private vehicle with professional driver throughout
What to expect
Your driver collects you from hotel or port and heads inland to Aix first, where you'll stroll past patrician façades and water features that define the town's character. Next is Marseille's vieux port—expect crowds near the restaurants and market stalls, but the energy is genuine. The basilica dominates the skyline above; some tours include entry, others just the exterior view. The final stop is Cassis, a working harbour where fishermen still operate alongside cafés. You'll have time to wander the tight alleys, grab lunch, or simply sit with a drink overlooking the water before heading back.
