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!

Our tour of Marseille & Cassis was great. Kathy S. was a very knowledgeable & accommodating guide. Easy to understand & pleasant to talk with, she made the extra effort to arrange a nice treat for my wife's birthday. Would highly recommend!
Kim G.United States
We can’t say enough great things about Kathy! She was absolutely spectacular. After having a disappointing tour guide the day before, we were so excited to spend the day with her—and she exceeded every expectation. She truly went above and beyond in every way. Her van was comfortable, spacious, and very easy to get in and out of, which was a huge plus. She customized the day around what we wanted to do and made everything effortless. We visited the beautiful town of Cassis, where she helped us purchase tickets for the boat tour and even brought us drinks to enjoy on the boat. She also recommended a wonderful restaurant, made our lunch reservations, and ensured everything went smoothly. Kathy speaks excellent English, is incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her guests having the best experience possible. If you’re considering a tour, don’t hesitate to book with Kathy. We highly recommend her—you won’t be disappointed!
