Greetings from Marseille! One of the best features of my tours is the fact that I provide a driver (except for the 2-hour walking tour), a great advantage because time isn't spent looking for parking. We'll be dropped off and picked up as close to the points of interest as possible. The driver concentrates 100% on driving while I give the tour and answer your questions. Although I've lived in France for 38 years, I'm American, so you should have no difficulty understanding my English. Whether it's cultural and historic sites or simply shopping, I'll take you there! My name is Kathy. I grew up in Washington St. , spent many years in Santa Barbara and New York City and arrived in France in 1986. After having lived 20 years in Paris, I finally discovered Marseille, fell in love with the city and have been happy here ever since. I'm looking forward to touring Provence with you! Certificate, Technicienne d'accueil touristique option accompagnement, tour leader, in English. Internship at the tourist information office in Marseille.

Overview of your Marseille tour

Cassis Highlights - 4 hours We'll pick you up at your ship or hotel in Marseille then drive along the coast road to one of Europe's highest maritime cliffs, Cap Canaille, for the staggering views above Cassis. Then we'll drive a bit along the winding road, La Route des Crêtes, for more incredible views before heading down into the little beach and fishing town of Cassis. If you'd like, you could take a boat trip to the Calanques, rocky inlets(optional, 1 hour - 19 euros per adult). These limestone inlets with translucent blue water and tiny beaches are a must see. Please note: I can't accompany tourists on the boat ride due to sea sickness. Pamphlets with commentary in English on the major points of interest are available.

Kathy was a great guide. Very informative and keen to ensure we made the best of our day in the Marseille and Cassis area. We would have no hesitation in recommending her to other travellers. We all had a great day!

Kathy made our tour of Cassis most enjoyable despite the rainy weather that day. She pointed out numerous points of interest and provided some background information all along the way. The van was very comfortable and the driver was also excellent (navigating the curvy mountainous roads, etc.). We loved our visit to Cassis. Highly recommended tour and tour guide.

So glad we engaged Kathy! My wife and I spent a very pleasant morning with Kathy and her excellent driver Bruno exploring the spectacular coastline and Cassis and its famous calanques. Best of all was the easy conversation with Kathy who is clearly well versed in history and the local culture. We quickly felt like old friends and we would highly recommend her. She can easily adjust to your special interests and provide you with a memorable experience.
