    Full description

    Explore the charming Cassis and its seaside port on this full-day guided tour. Enjoy a boat ride, awe-inspiring scenery, a visit to a local winery to taste Provence rosé, red, and white wines, and more.

    Meet your guide in Aix-en-Provence to journey to the seaside port of Cassis. Discover this inviting portside village and the Calanques, listed by UNESCO as a world heritage national park.

    Follow your guide on a walking tour of the village, stroll through the narrow streets of Cassis, and browse the small shops and stores that sell local Provence goods.

    The tour continues with a panoramic boat ride to the Calanques, located near Cassis. From the small port, reach the Calanques National Park that stretches from Marseille to Cassis, and admire the beautiful coves of the steep rocky coast.

    After the boat ride, enjoy some free time for exploring Cassis and have lunch (own expense).

    No tour to Cassis is complete without a drive along the Route des Crêtes. As you leave Cassis, head up towards one of the highest sea cliff in Europe, Cap Canaille. Your guide will stop in one of the many areas for taking in the views over the village and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.

    After the drive to Cap Canaille, enjoy a wine tasting in the Cassis area. The Cassis Vineyard was among the very first Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée in 1936. Taste local wines and learn about the winery and the wine making process of this very popular wine. Although the whites – dry and fruity – are the most renowned, the reds and rosés are also well known.

    After the wine tasting session, relax with drop-off in the city center of Aix-en-Provence.

    Amazing day in cassis from Aix with our tour guide and a fun crew of people we met on the tour. The drive to cassis and from Cassis went by so fast with our livelyconversations , the boat ride to the Calanques was breathtaking, )the boat driver did most talking in fresh but he let us Americans in on the highlights in English). Great walk through the town afterwards without tour guide leading the way and explaining some History. , lunch near the port and then the bonus of a wine tasting in our way back. Wear comfortable shoes!

    We had a wonderful experience. Lucille was a terrific guide. Since she is a local, she knew just where to take us and she answered all our questions thoughtfully. This trip seems very reasonably priced for a full day and had just the right balance of experiences. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of everything in the Cassis area.

    This was an awesome experience from start to finish. Some great sightseeing and fun facts about the area — the boat ride through La Calanques was stunning! Cassis is a great place to spend a half day in and Tomas was an excellent guide. Would highly recommend.
