This is a great tour for cruise passengers as driving time is limited and all stops are easily accessible. Marseille is the oldest city in France, and it offers great touristic attractions. In this tour we visit the main highlights and learn about the quirks and identity of this incredible place.
Marseille is huge and it is a must to have the help of a local to discover it. What is best to visit is not necessarily in the centre, and to take advantage of the limited time you need both a knowledgeable person and a vehicle.
Our driver/guides are the perfect people to make you discover it, and our fully air/condition vehicles perfectly adapted for the task.
