I cannot comment on the quality of the tour as our Marseille cruise port stop was abruptly cancelled the night before due to striking workers in France. I informed the tour operator immediately and received this response ... "We understand the cancellation, but unfortunately, this service will be charged. You can file a claim with the cruise company. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are considered a no-show" So rather than simply refunding my payment due to this "force majeure", they want me to go through all the paperwork to maybe get a refund from the cruise company several weeks later. In my judgment and experience, that's just bad business ... and bad customer service. I would suggest you find another tour operator that cares more about the customer ... and less about the money.
Remi did a great job, giving tips to make sure we have more time to explore the beautiful parts Marseille and Provence
Alain was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and friendly. He was so helpful, e. g., securing lunch reservations and helping to track down a lost item. The next time we are in the area we will definitely contact him for another tour of the area!
Excellent service, highly recommend. Fabulous transport enough for 6, super comfortable. Super personable driver who caters to any need!
This was a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed our private tour with Pierre. He was very knowledgeable and considerate. We saw all of the highlights of Marseille and had enough time to get all of the pictures that we wanted. The vehicle was clean and we were provided water as we entered.
Great experience. Jean Mechelle was a fabulous driver. He took us to several good places in Marseille and was flexible to let us try a few places we suggested. Would use again!!
Dear Viator Rep, This tour had two significant issues, although the Driver was a very well-mannered professional and we did manage to make it an enjoyable success. First, somehow there was a miss-understanding whereby the tour company did not arrange to pick us up from the cruise ship. This is what we signed up for and expected, being our first time to Marseilles. Unfortunately, we had to take a taxi, which cost us 40 euros, to meet the driver on the far side of the Old Port at an uncomfortable side street. This small, tight, under construction side street location, of course, had our wives concerned and me uncertain, when I had to inquire with a person standing on the sidewalk if he was our contact (no sign or indication that he was). We held the taxi until we verified the driver was from the tour company and had the tour information for our party. Pier, the driver, was a very courteous and professional individual, friendly and likable. However, he had no recommended tour agenda, just asking us what we wanted to do/see, therefore, mostly providing the role of a chauffeur, that we would dialogue with to see what there might be to our interest. Then he would respond by identifying a location that may be of interest. This is not what a private tour in this price range should provide to a group that has never been in the country. Ultimately through continued inquiry and discussion with Pier, we did get to identify a good number of sites of interest that we were pleased with, had a nice sandwich/bakery stop, and enjoyed the visit. Also, Pier was kind enough to return us to the ship, he definitely was a great individual to provide the service. The one thing I will request is that we be reimbursed for our 40 euro cost. Thanks, Alex Artigas
Excellent driver, and very interesting tour. It exceeded our expectations !!! We recommend this tour for anyone new to Marseille France.
Our guide Pierre was very kind and professional. He picked us up on time in a clean vehicle and toured us around Marseille to see everything we wanted. He knew much of the history of the city and was able to share so much neat information and he was great with our kids. Highly recommend this tour and driver Pierre!
We were SO impressed with this tour and our amazing guide! Pierre picked us up right on time, was so kind, answered all of our questions knowledgeably, made us all feel safe and welcome, and helped us to be able to see everything we wanted! 1000% recommend!
Wonderful private tour! Our guide was great… took us to many sites around the city. Would book again
No pick up no trip. Don’t know why arrangements were made and then canceled. I would say undependable.
Our driver Pierre did an excellent job driving us around the city. He knew the city well, and was able to share some of the history of Marseille. We had an excellent day.
The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable! He could not have been any more accommodating. I highly recommend this experience.
we had a very nice day in marseille with our private driver pierre. he showed us around at some of the most famous places in marseille. a good way to explore the city with limited time.
Peter was a very good guide. He took us to popular spots and took us to a great place to get a glass of wine. We really enjoyed his professionalism. He even walked up the Norte Dame steps with us just to take our pictures.
Wonderful! Hit big points of city in luxury and one on one situations. Would recommend and do again. Peirre was great, even stopped so i could get a sandwich for the train ride
Our private van tour was great. Jean Michel was an excellent driver and host. He showed us the best highlights in the time we had. If you book through this company, be sure to request Jean Michel.
Traveling in complete comfort for our tour! Our guide Matthieu took us to top destinations with ease! He was very professional and felt very safe.
The city has beautiful destinations to visit. Our tour guide was professional, friendly and kind. The luxury van was very clean and comfortable. The tour guide took us to all of the places in the tour and would drop us off at the entrance of every place and pick us up. It was a wonderful day in Marseille.
This was a great tour Pierre let us customize our tour! Truly enjoyed the whole Marseilles experience. Being from Atlanta Georgia this was chill
Pierre was excellent! Great explanations of the sites! Very windy day! Lots of traffic and people loved getting the text upon his arrival!
We booked with Pierre based on reviews. He was prompt, flexible, easy going, informative, and funny. We had no issues with communication as his English was very goo. If you have a day in Marseille and are willing to get a personal tour, Pierre should be at the top of your list.
a apresentação do motorista foi muito boa rapaz novo sem experiencia neste tipo de serviço ,o mesmo se esforçou a agradar , porém , o passeio foi limitado o mesmo não tinha cronograma do local , estava perdido totalmente , dirigia pelas ruas sem conhecer o locar tentando localizar no wase , sendo controlado pela empresa a todo momento, claramente sem saber o que fazer ou onde ir , tivemos que pesquisar locais para visitar , toda hora pedia para que não demorasemos , 13:h nos levou ao porto passeio frustrante sem preparo algum , não recomendo .
The visit to the old Basket district by little train was pleasant. The night view of the historic port from the roof terrace was magnificent.
