Beautiful day, Cassis is a charming town with stunning views. Our guide was kind and helpful. Thank you Silvio!
We lucked out and had perfect weather to visit the calanques by boat and to fully appreciate the beauty of this area. Our guide was great and shared interesting information about the area and history.
Wonderful get away from Aix en Provence! There was just enough time in Cassis to take the one hour boat ride, get a quick snack, and explore the town a bit. Cassis is beautiful and I’m so glad we went. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and we enjoyed his company very much.
It's better than the pictures. These natural fiords into the limestone coast are a perfect natural harbor for boats. Around 500 boats are tucked into this narrow area so to be protected from the waves of the open sea and the rough weather of storms. A quaint village and many seafood restaurants are nearby.
This tour was amazing! Cassis is absolutely beautiful! Silvio took us on a walk along the top of one of the Calanques and then into town. We took a wonderful boat tour around the Calanques and then Silvio took us to Port Miou for a stunning view of the Calanques and Cassis. Silvio was wonderful- gave great tips for our time on our own in Cassis(including some delicious food tips) and really tailored the trip to our interests.
Silvio was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. We took a boat to 5 calanques and the view from the top of Cap Canaille was breath-taking.
Nicholas was a fabulous guide. Driving safe took us to amazing spot especially for photos. We were a group of eight with thoroughly enjoyed our day
Eugenie was fantastic… we talked non stop about everything, took lots of photos overlooking Cassis and from the water…
Our guide Nicholas was excellent. He was very interesting and informative. We had a wonderful time. Cassis is a beautiful place. We especially enjoyed the boat cruise to view the calanques.
We were a little disappointed with this experience, especially given all the positive reviews. Our guide was a little overwhelmed and didn’t manage the group properly. She was slightly delayed at the start of the tour and then criticized us for delaying the group by using the restroom! Also, there was one complaining group member but the guide could have managed that situation better and prevented that from ruining everyone else’s experience. We were also told at first that we had to chose between Port Miou and the Calanques boat tour, though other reviews suggest that folks did both. Also, the guide should have been more proactive in sharing information / insights on the locations / things to do, and generally keeping things moving. It seems like other reviewers had better guides and therefore a better experience.
