From Aix en Provence: Marseille & Cassis Full Day Private Sightseeing Tour

Start your day with a scenic drive from your place of stay in Provence. After driving through the colorful creeks of the seaside, you will arrive to Marseille, one of the most “Mediterranean”, multicultural and dynamic cities in France. Delight yourself with a sightseeing tour of Marseille, including a stop at the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, with its panoramic view of the city, Frioul Islands, and Château d'If. End at the 11th-century Abbey of Saint-Victor, guarding the entrance to the Vieux Port, the very emblematic Old Port. You will have the chance to discover landmarks such as the Museum of la Vieille Charité, Notre Dame de la Garde, The Palais Longchamp and the Panier headquarter.

Then reach Cassis, the “St Tropez of Provence”. Cassis is a charming village by the sea, snuggled at the foot of the tall Cap Canaille cliff and the white limestone coves. Enjoy a bit of shopping or strolling on the harbor, lively place of the local life.  Its picturesque fishing port is embellished by nice shops, cafes, and restaurants where you can try their famous Pastis (anis flavored liquor).  

Cassis is also the departure point for a boat trip to the world-famous Calanques (optional) and their breathtaking cliffs (Port Pin, Port Miou, En-Vau). Discover its surroundings through a scenic route taking you through colorful creeks of the seaside at about 400 meters high.
