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 tour is best for cruise guests who want a relaxed, personalized introduction to Marseille rather than a long, rushed day trip. It’s ideal for couples, friends, and families who enjoy light walking, local stories, and scenic viewpoints, and who prefer a small private group (2–8 people) with an English‑speaking licensed guide. The experience especially suits travelers who value flexibility and comfort—those who like being picked up right at the ship, customizing what they see, and exploring the Old Port and historic streets at an easy pace that fits their interests and mobility.

In case of any last‑minute changes by the cruise line, please check your ship’s daily program and contact us as soon as possible so we can adjust timings accordingly.
