A Great trip to Casis and Aix - The trip was amazing, our guide was awesome and very informative. We especially enjoyed Casis, such a beautiful little town on the ocean. Aix was a lot different than what I expected, but definitely enjoyed walking through the old part of the city.

Beautiful views and remarkable experiences - Absolutely loved Cassis and Alex en Provence. The scenery was picture perfect. We had a fantastic tour guide and Driver Morgan what a gem. One of the most remarkable experiences of our 6 week tour through Europe. Loved it.

A brilliant day out - A relaxing way to visit Cassis and Aix-en-Provence in a single day with enough free time to explore them both. I fitted in a visit to the Musee Granet in Aix-en-Provence to see their ten Cezanne paintings and others by Picasso, Mondrian and Corot.

Wonderful - It was an extraordinary guided tour. We were accompanied by Florence and she is great. She explained to us throughout the walk the architecture l history and how to live there. For us it was a plus to have been with her because she passed on her love of Provence. We will certainly come back and ask Florence a distinguished and trustworthy friendly woman Thank you.

Don’t miss this experience! - This was sooo much fun! Pepe, our guide, was extremely knowledgable about his beloved adopted area and country! This VERY personable guide was just fantastic! It was very obvious how much he loves Marseilles and the surrounding area. Though Spanish is his native tongue, his English is perfect. He speaks many languages ! The Mercedes van was very comfortable and he was a wonderful guide! We saw places that we know we want to return to and visit again! The trip through the mountain and the coastal village of Cassis is a must! We had a lovely seafood lunch gazing at a perfect seaside post card view of the harbor. Pepe really went out of his way to be accommodating and he REALLY knows his history!

Fantastic Tour - Our tour guide Bernardo was very informative and fun, he kept is updated on everywhere we went and was super helpful to us all through. We had a good time stopping to take photos on the top of the whole of Cassis. We stopped at Cassis, which allowed me to take a boat to the Calanques which was absolutely gorgeous.

Great guide. Didn't love the towns. - Bernardo was a terrific guide. His English is terrific and we assume his French and Portuguese are too, but him not being French by birth brought an interesting perspective. He can see the French and French culture and history a bit from the outside, maybe more objective. We got some lovely views from the coast, but didn't really care for either town. They're nice but not for us. Aix-en-Provence is just a big outdoor, upscale shopping mall (like Cannes or Monte Carlo). Cassis is charming but Menton and Villefranche-sur-Mer were much more charming and interesting to us. (Don't go expecting Cassis to be the source of the Cassis liqueur. Apparently the two have nothing to do with each other. We were sorely disappointed. We just assumed.... We love Cassis, the liqueur. The town, not as much.)
