Private Shore Excursion from Marseille to Arles & Les Baux-de-Provence
Meet your English-speaking local guide
Your day begins with pick up directly at the Marseille Cruise Port terminal. Meet your English-speaking driver/guide, who will present the itinerary and program of this private tour to Arles and Les Baux-de-Provence before you set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.
Admire medieval Les Baux-de-Provence
Travel through the Alpilles countryside, a landscape of vineyards, olive groves, and rocky hills, to reach the dramatic village of Les Baux-de-Provence. Perched on a rocky spur, this medieval settlement offers breathtaking views over the surrounding Provençal countryside.
Enjoy free time to wander the narrow streets lined with galleries and boutiques, and discover the remains of the 10th-century fortress. If you wish, you can also visit the Carrières de Lumières (entrance not included), an immersive sound-and-light show set inside a former limestone quarry, where monumental walls become giant projection screens.
Visit the charming town of Arles
Continue to Arles, a distinctive Provence town known for its blend of Roman, medieval, and artistic heritage. Discover its UNESCO-listed monuments, Roman ruins, and historic churches, and feel the influence of its unique location between Provence and the Camargue.
Arles walking tour & Van Gogh sites
On arrival, set off on a guided walking tour of Arles. Explore the Roman arena and amphitheatre from the outside, see the Church of Saint-Trophime and the surrounding square, and stroll through streets that inspired Vincent van Gogh. Depending on timing and your interests, you may also visit spots linked to the painter, such as the Van Gogh café, his former hospital garden, or even the Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole outside Saint-Rémy, where he stayed for over a year and created some of his most famous works.
Return to Marseille Cruise Port
After your visit of Arles, relax on the drive back to Marseille. Your driver/guide will return you to your cruise ship at the port, marking the end of this enriching day in Arles and Les Baux-de-Provence.

Know before you book
- This is a private shore excursion from Marseille with an English‑speaking driver.
- Walking includes cobbled streets, steps and some slopes; not ideal for limited mobility.
- Visit order and exact stops may vary with time and opening hours.
- Optional visits such as Carrières de Lumières require additional fees.
Know before you go
- Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for cobblestones and uneven ground.
- Bring a hat, sunscreen and water, especially in summer when the Alpilles can be very hot

- A light layer is useful: hilltop villages like Les Baux can be breezy even on sunny days.
Additional information
If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.
This shore excursion is best for travelers who love history, art, and spectacular landscapes and prefer charming towns to big cities. It’s ideal for couples, friends, and adult families who enjoy gentle walking through Roman ruins and medieval villages, with time for photos, cafés, and browsing small shops.
It suits guests who appreciate an intimate, private experience with a flexible pace and an English‑speaking driver, rather than a large coach tour, and who want to see a lot of Provence’s character—Arles, Les Baux area—in one carefully planned day from Marseille.
