Overpaid for the tour.
I would give the tour guide, Clem, 5 stars. He was knowledgeable, personable and kept a nice pace throughout the tour. I was not happy to find out you added 2 more women to our group who had signed up for a shorter, cheaper tour. Due to the time it was going to take to bring them back to the ship after their portion of the trip, the guide encouraged them to join us for the remainder of the trip AT NO COST. Therefore I have a case for your “cheaper rate”guarantee you advertise. Please refund the charge for the Notre Dame portion of the tour to me. Why should we pay for that part of the tour if they didn’t? Besides that, our tour experience was diminished by crowding them into the van with us.

Outstanding tour!!!
If you are visiting Marseille on a cruise, this tour is an absolute must! Clement picked us up right at the cruise port and returned us to the exact same location, making the entire experience easy and stress-free. The semiprivate tour was the perfect way to experience the beauty of Provence. Clement was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating history and local insights throughout the day. One of the highlights was visiting the Terrain des Peintres (Painters’ Park) in Aix-en-Provence, where Cézanne found inspiration for many of his famous paintings. It is truly a must-see! We also had plenty of free time to explore Aix-en-Provence on our own, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, and browse the wonderful farmers market. The balance between guided sightseeing and free time was perfect. Clement’s professionalism, warm personality, and attention to detail made this one of the best excursions of our cruise. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalized, relaxing, and memorable day in Provence. Thank you, Clement, for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Tour of Aix en Provence and Marseille perfectly designed for Cruise Ship passengers
We enjoyed this tour from the Marseille cruise port where our excellent guide and driver, Paul, met us. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the entire day. He led us in a relaxed and comfortable pace on a walking tour through the charming city of Aix en Provence and shared much about its history and culture, as we tasted local food and shopping in the markets along the way. Paul drove us to a beautiful view where the artist Cezanne loved to go to paint. We also visited the amazing Basilica Notre Dame de Garde with the most incredible views of Marseille and the Mediterranean. We were dropped back at our cruise ship with time to spare. We highly recommend this excursion and we’re so pleased with this amazing experience. Many thanks to Paul for a wonderful day. .

Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marseille.
How much does Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marseille usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marseille is not rushed.
Is Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marseille, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marseille can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marseille and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marseille within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marseille?
+
On Outty we rank every Marseille experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Beyond Bouillabaisse: Diving into Marseille’s Multicultural Stew, Marseille Guided Tour for 4 Hours with a Bilingual Local Guide, Marseille Food Tour – Full Meal of Local Tastes by Do Eat Better. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marseille?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marseille?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop include hotel pickup?

What languages is Aix en Provence and Marseille Shore Excursion with Cezanne Stop offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
