About this tour
Explore three distinct Provençal destinations in a single day from Marseille with a private driver and customisable itinerary. Visit the coastal charm of Cassis, the elegant university city of Aix-en-Provence, and Marseille itself, travelling in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. Tours range from 2 to 7 hours depending on your interests and cruise ship schedule. Your local driver tailors stops and pace to suit your group, making this ideal for those wanting to venture beyond the port without joining a coach.

- Aix-en-Provence's Baroque fountains and tree-lined boulevards
- Marseille's old harbour and neighbourhood streets
- Customisable route based on your preferences
- WiFi and bottled water throughout journey
- Local knowledge from your private driver
- Flexible duration to match your schedule
What to expect
You'll be collected from Marseille in a climate-controlled minivan and taken through the Provence landscape with a driver who knows the region well. Stops depend entirely on what appeals to you—perhaps the pastel houses and working fishing boats of Cassis, the café culture and Renaissance architecture of Aix-en-Provence, or specific neighbourhoods back in Marseille. The driver adjusts timing and routing based on traffic and your pace. You're seeing genuine towns rather than polished tourist spots, though popular sites are certainly included if you wish.
Good to know
Tours are priced per vehicle, not per person, so groups share costs. Bring your own lunch or budget for cafés along the way. Prams and strollers fit easily; infants sit on laps. The van has WiFi and water included. Public transport is available if you want to explore independently after drop-off.
