Marseille : 2-Hour Sidecar Sightseeing Tour
Description
For the beginning of this tour, dive into the heart of the oldest district of Marseille: the Panier. Aboard the sidecar, get lost in its narrow streets between small cafés, colorful street-art facades and tiny designer stores. Then head for the Old Port where you can discover the famous fish market, stroll on the quay, watch the fishermen going out to sea and take a selfie under the Ombrière.Then, you will go along the coast passing by the unavoidable Corniche John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "the longest bank in the world", which offers an unobstructed view on the massif of Marseille as well as on the nearby islands. Then, direction the most visited monument and the emblematic figure of the city of Marseille: the Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde. The "Good Mother" offers a 360° panoramic view of the city, and you will be amazed by its architectural beauty both inside and outside. Stop at Les Goudes, a small traditional port in a picturesque setting, surrounded by huts still housing a few fishermen and hills with remnants of World War II fortifications. Enjoy the majestic landscape and the breathtaking view of the port of Marseille.

We had a great time with our fantastic guide, Thibeault!! Meet up was easy, and we saw so much in two hours. We felt totally safe and enjoyed chatting during our stops. From Notre Dame to the Calanques, we had a beautiful ride! We easily made this excursion part of our day in Marsailles while on a cruise stop.
Thibault was a fantastic tour guide. We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and historic tidbits along the way. We had limited time in port on a Celebrity cruise and this was a great way to see a lot of the coast line within a couple of hours. He was even able to bring us directly back to the ship so we didn’t have to take the shuttle back to the ship. He was such a welcoming, warm and all around nice guy and made my wife and I feel safe on the motorcycle. We even had time to stop for some ice cream on the way back and he took nice pictures of us at each stop. Highly recommend!
Great way to see the highlights. Our guides were really fun…we would definitely do it again! It was a very hot day so it was great to be moving.
This was something different and lots of fun. The guide was prompt and friendly and let us control the pace of the tour and additional stops. I highly recommend this tour.
The bike ride was a nice experience! However, I paid the full price for 4 people and booked that 4 bikes would be available, not 2, so that 2 people sat behind the driver and not in the sidecar. This made the price paid disproportionate!!! Very unfortunate and should be noted for other bookings!!!
Bonjour, merci de votre retour. Vous n'avez jamais payé pour 4 side-cars, mais bien pour 4 personnes. Il est bien écrit que le tarif correspond à 1 side-car pour 2 personnes, il suffisait de bien lire le descriptif. Désolé si vous avez mal lu.
Unique experience to see the port, notre dame and out on the coast road to see beautiful sea villages. Great vistas. Able to smell the flowers and occasional diesel or bio diesel bus. Private host Roger was a fun sailor and photographer who is retired and does this to keep active and use his multi lingual skills. Eric, “ The big boss” (cute) has better English skills. Highly recommended!
Don’t miss this experience. I saw more of Marseille in a couple of hours than I would have in 3 days. You know it’s a good tour when the locals point at you and smile!
enjoyed being in sidecar, but my friend had to be on the back of motorcycle. she was uncomfortable and felt unsafe. when they advertise “side car” - both should be able to ride in a SIDECAR.
Hello. Thank you for coming back. It is absolutely not stated that the two people were driving in the basket on the side, but that the price was for two people, one person in the rear of the driver and another on the side. And how can we not be safe when driving between 20 and 30 km/h in the city? Thanks again to both of you.
This was the best port experience of our trip. I am in my 60’s, my friend in her 80’s and we loved it!! Eric took us through the city but also along the coast to places we’d never have seen in style. My friend got in her side car, stretched out her legs, and said, “why haven’t we done this in every port?” The answer, of course, is this is a unique experience that I, at least, have never seen offered before. Good communication with the company pretour to help us find our way from the cruise ship.
Loved this your. Relaxing and beautiful sights. My driver was Timo and he was wonderful. So kind and thoughtful and informative. I highly recommend this adventure
