Fantastic experience! We had a smaller group led by our wonderful guide Pierre. The tour was super fun, Pierre was engaging, friendly and very enthusiastic with telling us about Marseille’s history and landmarks whenever we stopped to look at things. The cycling wasn’t really challenging at all! There are some steep uphills but you barely feel it with the bicycle’s assisted pedalling. Marseille has dedicated bicycle paths, but take note you’ll be cycling quite close to traffic sometimes. We saw parts of Marseille that we never would have on our own if we hadn’t booked this tour, easily the best part of our trip. Absolutely recommend booking this for anyone visiting Marseille, beautiful city!

Excellent outing at all levels: the crew was very friendly and competent, the buffet was very full and of magnificent quality. 5h was a really appropriate duration because we were able to fully experience it, including swimming time. On the other hand, I find it a pity that we could not take out the sails. I understood the reasons (weather and a torn sail). But that would have made the experience unique. I highly recommend this cruise. We took advantage of it in mid-October. I don't know what it's worth in the middle of summer with the amount of tourists in the creeks.

Such a great cruise. The Captain and assistant were more than friendly! Food and beverages were served all day. The Get Your Guide description said it did not include alcoholic beverages, but we had several wine options available. Do. This. Trip. It was so fun and relaxing! 5 Stars all the way!

This was a fantastic half-day trip. We really enjoyed the views of Marseille from the water and being able to swim from the boat. The boat captains were terrific and friendly.

Great way to explore Marseille, our guide Lucie was amazing.
