Practical Information
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.

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.
