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.

Our Marseille shore excursion was canceled due to bad weather. Instead, the ship stopped in another port called Toulon. It's a beautiful port!

Hop on Hop Off bus was Ok but the city of Marseille was dirty and not particularly interesting. More of a working city and the least liked of our trip.

very convenient way to see the city.the downside was that there were only 4 bus rides that sunday which made hopping off inconvenient.

Prebooked ticket worked fine
Rain made the hop on/off ride sub optimal, and there wasn't that much to see - but still a good way to get an overview of the main attractions

Tour was OK. Main problem was getting to the start point from cruise terminal. Local bus stop 1 and half km walk then 2 buses to Port of Marseille took well hour which limited you time at Marseille to see and do anything.

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.

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.

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.

The experience was good considering this was our first experience with a hop on and hop off sightseeing bus. My only concern was getting from the port of call to the first stop. We were not made aware that we will need to make arrangment with the ship shuttle bus to arrive to the first stop. Viator should provide some form of transportation from the port to the city.
