A 4-hour Marseille shore tour with free landmark entries, port pickup, and big views from Notre-Dame de la Garde. Tight timing.
“City bus tour aggregated with other city tours sold elsewhere under different names and pricing can cause confusion. Our tour guide, Paco, was very informative but not a cat herder and on our we had many cats, passengers who don't listen or respect others, mostly by not returning to the bus on time. Perhaps more…”
Guided e-bike ride from Pointe Rouge to Calanque de Sormiou in the Calanques National Park, with views, steep descents, and seasonal swimming.
“We had a great riding experience. My only caution is that you need to be comfortable on a bike and like going up and down some pretty steep hills. Despite having an electric mountain bike, having bike skills will make this ride amazing. Great views. A great tour and lovely guide. Highly recommend”
