Private Tour of Marseille and Cassis

About this tour

A seven-hour private exploration of Marseille and Cassis that lets you call the shots. Your driver navigates you through France's ancient port city—past Roman foundations and contemporary murals—before heading south to the dramatic coastline. You'll visit the white basilica perched above the city, follow the coastal road with its limestone cliffs and hidden coves, walk through the fishing village of Les Goudes, then settle into Cassis's Old Port for 40 minutes to wander narrow streets or grab a drink by the water. Travel by private car with chilled water included.

Highlights

• Notre-Dame de la Garde: panoramic views across city and Mediterranean
• Marseille's layered architecture and street art contrasts
• Coastal drive through Calanques National Park landscape
• Les Goudes fishing village tucked at park's edge
• 40-minute self-guided Cassis harbour exploration
• Private vehicle—your pace, your stops, your interests

What to expect

You'll be picked up and driven through Marseille's neighbourhoods, stopping at landmarks that catch your eye or your driver's recommendation. The route heads south along the coast where the landscape shifts to dramatic white cliffs and turquoise water. Les Goudes is a genuine working fishing village—small, genuine, no tourist infrastructure. Then Cassis opens up: a proper French port town with narrow lanes leading to the harbour, cafés tucked into corners, and boats bobbing at the dock. Your 40 minutes there is unstructured; bring cash for lunch or a pastis if that appeals. The vehicle is air-conditioned and you've bottled water throughout.

Good to know

Bring comfortable shoes for walking cobblestone streets. Cassis free time doesn't include a meal—plan to eat before, during, or after. Not suitable if you have spine or heart conditions. Service animals welcome. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed.
