    Jo was a great guide, really enjoyed the sites and Jo’s helpfulness and kindness. Norte Dame de Gard, Longchamp, city sites and history were all very interesting.

    Wonderful trip – saw so much in such a short amount of time. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun.

    Terrible tour. I think they combined two tours in one. Our bus was so overcrowded the guide had to stop in the middle of the tour to let more people get on our already full bus. She then had to call a taxi because there were not enough seats, and it was a security violation. The excess people were standing. At this point some people just got off on their own never to come back on. It was labeled as Marseille Half-Day Small Group, a complete dishonest description of the size. The official description begins with “Spend the morning exploring Marseilles’ historical neighborhoods on a small-group tour with a guide”. Maybe their definition of a small group is a bus so overcrowded there were not enough seats. We were happy when it ended, glad it was not a full day.

    This trip with “Joe” was one of the best trips we have ever had. So glad we had this guide he was wonderful!!! So knowable so kind and accommodating.

    Joe, our driver was very good and knowledgeable and took us around Marseille describing sites in interesting detail. Highly recommended!

    We have in past raved about Viator but this was terrible
    We had signup for small group tour. We were at meeting site 30 min before tour no one ever came with sign
    Lady came never addressed group
    Couple we were talking with had small group tour and another couple came
    There was another larger group with different number ticket on other side of area
    Lady spoke to them but never addressed the group or made effort to talk to us. Again no sign we were waiting for our guide
    She spoke to her group to follow approx 40 people
    We waited at meeting site for guide with sign
    Attempted to office in French no answer
    30 minutes later she returned saying we were to be with her as people on bus told her we’re were waiting for small group tour
    She stated we were to be with her that made 50 people on bus NOT SMALL GROUP WE SIGNUP FOR
    She was overwhelmed not prepared
    4 people sent by taxis that had missed but that made too many people on bus so no people volunteered to go back to ship
    Us to us being in large bus group we were not able to park close like small tour bus at Norte Dame Basilica’s
    This was very disappointing hard walk for us
    Due to being so late minimal free time 45 to do anything at old Barbour
    Many people on this tour very unhappy
    We just got off cruise ship where I could use Wi-Fi to complete survey

    This is not a guided tour. This is a taxi driver, who takes you to the main attractions of the area. Thankfully, we had a taxi driver, who tried really hard to be a good guide. But we have friends who had a taxi driver, who stayed on his phone the whole time and didn’t tell them anything about the sites. We were also in a taxi van, which means three people in our group were facing the wrong direction to where they could not see the sites. (also, driving backwards makes you feel carsick ). Just not what we expected.

  8. Erick_F

    Incredible views of the Mediterranean from all the stops and the historical sites were amazing.
    Our guide/driver, Michael was extremely pleasant and gave us a lot of historical information.

  9. Minh_T

    Our tour guide Joe was great and funny. The tour group is small enough that we can hear the info well. We had trouble finding the meeting point and he waited for us.

  10. James_P

    I would take this tour again. You have to walk the green mile outside the ship, but the tour guide, Paco, and the driver Tom were great. There is so much to see and time is of the essence. The tour was very informative and the driver very careful. You must be ready to walk. This is not an easy pace tour. It is active, but it was worthy! The bus was comfortable.

  11. Thomas_M

    This was not a TOUR- it was just a cab ride with a driver who did NOT know English- very bad experience

  12. Yolanda_W

    The tour was very good. We would do this tour again. Our tour guide gave us his all and we walked away learning a lot about Marseille. We saw all the sights and had an opportunity to sample navettes . He even showed us his set of Bocce balls and how the game was played. He was very accommodating to another family in the group who had a family member with mobility issues and children but still gave us a lot of attention as well. That being said the company could have communicated with the customer the day before where to meet the guide (we weren’t really sure where to go) and they could also have a sign identifying the company. We had to actually walk toward the seimen club , which I didn’t find out until after I called the company and we had to ask different groups if they were on the same tour we were taking. Still would not trade this experience for anything else!

  13. Beth_H

    Michael, our tour guide could not have been better. Knowledgeable and kind. Showed us all of the beautiful sights. Highly recommend.

    We paid for guided tour of Marseille. What we got was a taxi driver who was supposed to take us around the city and show us all touristy spots. The first thing he said when he got into the taxi that he is NOT a guide. We got to the first stop, we got out of the car and he was on the phone. His taxi had 8 seats and 3 of them were faced backwards. There were 2 families on the tour, and someone from another family was concerned about getting car sick going backwards. Not to mention, it’s hard to see the sites going backwards. We ended up leaving the tour after first stop and got on Hop on Hop off tour. I requested the refund from Viator and it was approved. The awful “tour” company name is DOMITIA TOURS. DO NOT use that particular company.

  15. Louis_S

    Joe personalized the tour and ensured that everyone was very happy with the tour. He shared the history of Marseille and brought it to life.

  16. Laura_D

    Unfortunately this trip was canceled because of Covid so we were given a full refund by the company I’m sure it was good

  17. MaureenGabner

    Having the history of everything we were seeing told to us by our friendly, knowledgeable guide. Not being in a bus with 50 others was a definite plus.

  18. Robert_H

    It was disappointing to find out 3 days ahead of time that the small group we had booked was tuned into a large tour bus. Through texts, the tour operator said they would provide a credit back to discount our group of 6 that we had paid for, but I never saw a credit back.
    NOTE: When you leave the terminal, go out the front doors (there are 3 double doors at the front). Turn right and follow the green line. You will pass a parking lot on your right, then cross the street near the terminal checkpoint for the taxis – keep going! You will walk several more minutes and pass a larger parking lot on your left. After you pass that lot, the Seaman’s Club is the grey building on your left with a covered patio area. Additional note – once you meet up with your guide, you have another walk of about the same length to get to the bus! You also have to walk all of this after your day of touring to get back to the ship!
    My 2 cents to the tour company: Charge everyone $2 more per person for the tour and arrange for everyone to be picked up outside of the terminal with all of the other buses. This is a ridiculous way to save some money that most people would be willing to pay for.

    The meeting place (at exit to Port) is very difficult to find. Needs to be more specific. Not knowing how far we would need to walk we took cabs to the “exit” (their minimum charge was $20). There was a bus there but we could not recognize any sign on it. the cabs then took us back to the Seamen’s Club where our guide was waiting for us in his car. he then took us to where the bus was standing. Had he waited at the second lot with a clear sign of his company we would have found him. Find a company that will wait near the ship.

  20. Carol_D

    Great tour! Paco was amazing. Everyone knows that your guide can make or break an experience. You can tell he loves what he does, he wants people to have a great experience, and he is very knowledgeable. Our only compliant was we booked the 4 hour tour and wished we had selected the 8 hour. It was that good.
