We really enjoyed our hop on hop off bus booked with yourselves via internet. Only it would have helped if we were given more specific instructions on how to find your stop. We speak English and the people in Marseilles speak French and it was difficult to find your stop at the old Port.
Not worth the money. The buses only run every hour. People were standing and I ended up sitting on the stairs. Very disappointed!!
The Train was great, the city "under Construction" due to that the time to return was way over estimated. We came back early, but had to pay for it ourselves. Overall we were disappointed with the tour operator.
Our "Private tour: Marseille City Sightseeing" was amazing. Our fabulous guide Jessica was waiting for us (my teen boys and I) at the Train Station and it was wonderful....our first time in Marseille and we had no clue what to do. She took us to the major Sightseeing...beautiful city. We had so many questions and Jessica knew how to answer them all. When we were done, she showed us how to go to Château d'If, how to get back to the Train Station and gave us a big warm goodbye hug...so sweet. We highly recommend the tour and Jessica! The Old Port of Marseille ( Vieux- Port) is not to far from the Train Station(Saint Charles)...we walked back, but we love to walk.
One thing to be aware of, all of the museums and the castle are closed on Mondays.... which is theday we were there. Wish I' had known in advance.
Great Guide and Driver ....... She was very good at her Job
Marjelene is very good and thoroughly enjoyed esp to the not so common sights around Marseille.
Our guide, under a difficult situation, accident on freeway which cause hour + delays, adapted and made up for all the sights we wanted to see. She was extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of French life. We really appreciated her guidence.
memorial museum closed cantini closed for exhibition
I didn't go; it's too far. Instead I ended up in Lyon. It's quite a trip but it takes a few more days to explore all of that town.
Great value for your money.
The trip meant we had good idea of the sights. This helped us decide what we wanted to do during our stay. Our guide was very good.
You get many discounts, including free admission to several attractions. Because there is so much that you can access with this pass, it helps if you will be in Marseille for at least a day. The longer you're there, the more savings you can enjoy with this pass. Even though we weren't there for a full day, we still enjoyed this pass. At the tourism office where we exchanged our vouchers for our passes the representative was very friendly and informative.
This is a very good deal, and it gives you a good base on which to plan your days in Marseille. We purchased a two-day pass, which we picked up from the tourist centre and which was validated at that location. The lady at the office failed to tell us that the second day of our pass was a public holiday and we couldn't use the pass because nothing was open: churches, museums, libraries; everything was closed. Had she told us, we could have chosen two other days because we were there for five days.
This is a must if you plan on seeing a bunch of museums. Each museum costs 4-10 euros, which really adds up. The tourist board where you redeem your voucher is right across the street from the port and easy to find. The pass does not include the main tour bus, however - just a discount.
