The places included in the tour are undoubtedly beautiful and highlight the beauty of the Provence region. The view of the beach of Cassis and Calanques was excellent, and Aix-en-Provence was also very attractive. However, the time seemed to be relatively short in each place, so the opportunity to move around on your own was limited.. Although the transportation was good, the trip was a bit of a hassle. Still, it's a good introductory tour for first time visitors.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the Provence region! We're delighted to hear that Cassis, the Calanques, and Aix-en-Provence left such a beautiful impression on you. We completely understand your feedback about the time spent at each stop — it's a balance we continually work on. We'd like to mention that our itineraries can be adapted to allow for more time at specific locations depending on the group's wishes, so please don't hesitate to let your guide know at the start of the tour. We always do our best to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We hope to welcome you back for a longer exploration of the region! Team À la française
Good organization, knowledgeable and attentive guide, nice views
Bonjour, Your review just made our day! We're so happy you enjoyed your tour and our guide. Guests like you are the reason we love what we do. We look forward to seeing you again soon. We're waiting for you for another adventure in Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Loire, Champagne, Paris and Normandy. Team A La Française.
While the lookout was lovely, the rest of the trip was just ok. Definitely not worth the cost. It would have been good to know that stores are closed on Monday and that many close for the time-slot that we were in Aix. It didn’t leave a lot to do in Aix and as other mentioned, you are dropped off without little guidance or suggestions in place to visit during your time in each location.
Hi Lisa, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the lookout point! Our guides do provide maps and suggestions for each stop to make the most of your free time, and we'll make sure this is communicated clearly. We'll also flag the Monday closures issue to improve our planning. Hope to welcome you again! Team A la Française

Audrey was our tour guide today. It was a great tour with just four of us. She showed us around Aix and gave us free time. She assisted us in Cassis to get our boat tickets. The last viewing point was the highlight 5🌟 I would highly recommend 10/10

This is self directed after the guide gives you a map, directions, and some background on what/where to see sights. Do the boat tour to the fiords.
