About this tour
A 4-hour private tour combining Marseille sightseeing with door-to-door transport. Your driver guides you through the Old Port and city centre, stopping at Palais Longchamp—the 1869 water palace fed by the Durance—and Notre-Dame de la Garde, the Roman-Byzantine basilica perched above town. Ends with transfer to the airport or cruise terminal, so you never wait for shared shuttles.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to the main sights with a knowledgeable driver-guide. Expect stops for photos and short walks around the Old Port's waterfront and the city's architectural highlights. The Palais Longchamp sits on a hilltop; Notre-Dame de la Garde requires climbing or using the basilica's internal lift. The pace is leisurely—this isn't a rushed checklist. Your final leg is a direct drive to your departure point, so timing aligns with your flight or ship.
