Marseille & Cassis Full Day Private Tour

The day begins in Marseille, France’s oldest Mediterranean port shaped by more than 2,600 years of history. A vibrant crossroads of cultures, it blends ancient heritage with a contemporary spirit. Wander through historic neighborhoods where colorful façades and lively squares reflect its dynamic energy. From the hilltop Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, sweeping views open over the Old Port and the Mediterranean, offering a striking introduction to the region and its rich maritime legacy.

At the Vieux-Port, the city’s maritime soul comes alive. Fishing boats line the quayside, markets display the morning’s catch, and waterfront cafés invite you to pause and enjoy the atmosphere. Daily life remains deeply connected to the sea, where tradition and modern vibrancy exist side by side in a lively and welcoming setting.

In the afternoon, continue to Cassis, a charming fishing village set between vineyards and limestone cliffs. Its pastel harbor and relaxed pace provide a gentle contrast to the morning. The light on the water and the quiet hum of boats create a feeling of Mediterranean serenity and understated elegance.

Stroll along the quay, savor fresh seafood overlooking the harbor, or simply embrace the coastal lifestyle. An optional public boat excursion through the Calanques, lasting one to two hours, reveals turquoise waters and dramatic rock formations sculpted by wind and sea along one of southern France’s most beautiful and unspoiled coastlines.
