MARSEILLE
Ranked by traveller popularity
The 10 most popular tour reviews in Marseille. Here's what they actually deliver, who runs them, and what they cost.
A flexible Marseille hop-on hop-off bus with phone audio, real-time tracking, and big views from the open-top ride for about $27.
“It’s a hop-on-hop off tour. If people don’t get off at a stop, then there might not be room. Cheaper than taxis and Uber and you get the bonus of meeting people from all over the world. We had no issues and everyone was friendly.”
Half-day kayak into Marseille’s Côte Bleue calanques for $64 with a certified guide, swim stops in Establon & Aragnols, gear included.
“Weather was perfect, guide was knowledgeable of the area for recreation, but also environmentally, and historically. We had plenty of time to relax at the half way point and swim in the Mediterranean.”
Skip the line at Marseille’s Mucem. Explore Mediterranean exhibitions and sea views in Rudy Ricciotti’s landmark building.
“Die Weitläufigkeit, Verbindung mit der Burg und dann kurz rüber nach Le Panier - nice - auch der Blick auf die Cathedrale de la Major - wunderbar. Berauschender Blick natürlich auch auf Notre Dame de la Garde 🤩 Einziges Minus: ich mag die französischen Snacks in den Cafés nicht. Nix einfaches, alles kompliziert zubereitet mit…”
Walk Vieux Port to Noailles with 4+ tastings, pastis and sweet bites included. Small group, mostly food-focused, 3.5 hours.
“Food was not that great and definitely not a "full meal" and tour was kind of haphazard. Tour guide did her best but this is not something I would recommend.”
A 5-hour guided hike in Marseille’s Calanques National Park with a scenic picnic, swimming break, and jaw-dropping coastal views.
“The nature was beautiful, 4 hours flew by..Guide has a lot of knowledge, although you must ask questions to get the most of it.”
Guided hike through Calanques National Park from Marseille with pine trails, sea cliffs, a swim stop, and optional Blue Cave grotto.
“Such a beautiful hike!! Alex was a great guide and we all had such a fun day!”
Step into Marseille’s Musée de l’Illusion for 1 hour of optical tricks, photo moments, and hands-on science for $22.
“Distrayante et instructive”
Half-day sailing from Marseille to the Frioul Calanques. Learn basics, swim and snorkel, and soak up dramatic coastal views.
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I booked this 1/2 day sail for myself & my husband. It departs at 2pm right by the Museum of Civilizations, which is convenient bc we were able to tour the museum beforehand since we were down there. The tour was very organized- 3 sail boats arrived right on time, 1 captain read…”
4-hour small-group boat cruise from Marseille to Côte Bleue calanques with guided history and multiple swimming stops in clear water.
“Thomas was an excellent guide, and he ensured he spoke in English for us. The boat trip was huge amounts of fun, we got literally soaked. 4 stop offs for amazing swimming in warm turqouise waters and into a cave. Fantastic boat trip loved it.”
3-4 hours by catamaran from Marseille’s Vieux-Port for snorkeling, stand-up paddle in the Frioul calanques, and a roof jump.
“I loved it, the experience was incredible and the water is amazing! The captain was very nice and the boat was also very comfortable.”
