    Marseille Shore Excursion

    This half day Marseille shore trip enjoys splendid views as you travel along the seaside cliff between La Ciotat and Cassis. Once you are in Cassis you have some free time to savor the good life of the Mediterranean and if you like, you can take a boat trip to the Calanques.

    After meeting your driver guide in Marseille you drive along the famous cliff road to Cassis. The road reaches an altitude of about 1,200 feet above the sea level offering dramatic views and leading you into Cassis.

    Cassis is a small but gorgeous port city which was once a bustling fishing village. It has become a very popular destination for Europeans to visit in the spring and fall so they can enjoy the moderate Mediterranean climate in this scenic resort town. It's lovely natural setting allows you to see rolling vineyards, olive trees, beaches, and the amazing Calanques. These fjord like white cliffs create small bays along the blue coast line.

    While you are in Cassis you have free time where you might choose to shop the boutiques, visit a local art gallery or sample local white and rose wines in one of the many chic cafes. On Wednesday and Friday there are wonderful open air markets in the town's square. Many people enjoy taking a boat cruise (not included) to see some of the most dramatic Calanques.

    At the end of your excursion, your driver guide will take you back to Marseille.

    Mobility: Folding wheelchair OK, some sites may be inaccessible (advance notice required)

    Reviewer: Suzanne M from Seaside Park, New Jersey  
    To maximize our port time on a recent Mediterranean cruse, we decided that private, guided tours were a must. So, after research, travel agents advise and reading reviews, I chose Private Shore Trips. It did not disappoint! Super easy to book, response time was immediate. Although we didnt get the Mercedes, vehicles were clean, comfortable late model types.

    Ken Diaz did a great job arranging shore excursion for my group of 17 in Marseille and Genoa. Our guides, Stephanie in France and Armida in Italy, were very knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Overall, we had a great experience.

    This is the first time I booked with Private Shore Trips and I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to deal with true professionals that provide you with total peace of mind, whether it is regarding pre-trip planning or post-trip customer support. My husband and I went on a 2 shore excursions from Marseille into some of the towns.  It was really nice and the guides were very friendly.
