Gillis tour

Our guide Gillis was waiting off the ship with my name right on time. He was very energetic about his country and explained our itinerary for the day. We toured Provence and Cassis. He arranged a spot for our lunch as we walked around. We had a nice lunch on the beach. We continued to hit all the spots on our itinerary and many great stops for senic views and pictures. We had a great day in France.

Great guide!! Highly recommend!!

Gille was so accommodating after our cruise! He picked us up from the port and took us to the most fun and beautiful places of Marseille, Aix en Provence, and Cassis and then dropped us off at the airport. Was even able to store our luggage in our van throughout the tour. He was also very friendly and great with our kids. Highly recommend!

⭐ Above and Beyond – Thank You, Gilles!

What an incredible day! Our tour guide, Gilles, was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, its history, and local culture. What really made the experience special was that Gilles went above and beyond by customizing part of the tour for us and making an extra stop that wasn’t originally included. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the day even more memorable. His passion for what he does truly shows, and he made every part of the tour engaging, informative, and fun. We learned so much while also feeling completely relaxed and taken care of. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Gilles as your guide. He helped make this one of the highlights of our trip to France. Thank you, Gilles, for such a wonderful day!

Ship excursion

Gimles was a fantastic tour guide who was friendly. He took us all around his marvelous town of Aix-En-Provence and Marsaille. So much history and culture to see. We had many stops and got to eat local cuisine. The views were amazing but mostly, Gillis has to be the kindest person ever.

Beautiful cities

Gilles was an awesome guide. Took us through Marseille and then to Aix en Provence where we walked around and enjoyed some treats and coffee. It is a beautiful city, unfortunately it rained and rained hard. Then we went to Cassis and took in some breathtaking views. Halfway through this tour, I got an email that our tour of Monaco was cancelled for no reason and Gilles stepped in and after many phone calls, got us booked for half the price with another tour! It was MUCH appreciated so thank you, thank you Gilles!!!

Operator response

Sincerely thank you for your review. I also enjoyed the time spent with your family. See you very soon.

A perfect day!

We had an incredible day with Gilles! His enthusiasm and passion for the sites were infectious, and he made the entire experience both fun and seamless. He was so considerate of our group of 8; he balanced the needs of our elderly and young members perfectly, ensuring everyone was comfortable and included. If you want a stress-free, high-energy tour, Gilles is the best!
