Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations: Tours & Tickets

Just a little glitch at the beginning...there were 6 of us...until we understood that the booking companies were all different (Get Your Guide, Viator, etc) and apparently all sub contracted to the same organization in Marseille. It all worked out, but our tour was not in French, as arranged. We agreed to take the tour in English, as the other 4 people did not speak French. But, Get Your Guide should take care with this, as if we were not bilingual, it could have been uncomfortable. As we were able to take the tour in English, all went well for everyone. The guide was helpful and well-informed and we had a very fulfilling day.

Really glad I did it as I wouldn’t have seen quite so much of the city in my short period of time there as I did. But some of the stops just aren’t really worth getting off at, it seems like they added them so they had more stops. Also wish there was an app to track where the busses were cuz I probably wasted so much time waiting for the next bus (cuz just adding 45 minutes to when I got off didn’t seem to help me at all). But otherwise it’s a good little tour with friendly drivers and staff and Marseille is beautiful.

We were lucky enough to have Anastasea all to ourselves because we were the only tourists that day. The EBikes were very nice and did most of the work for us while we rode the city. Anastasea took us all over Marseille informing us about its history and culture. It was a wonderful experience and we will cherish it forever.

Our guide LEO was most knowledgeable, very passionate about the region, and provided the right amount of freedom to experience maximum enjoyment of the tour. Leo, a native to Marseille, described each site in such a way that we gained far more insight than any tour we have taken in the past 12 years.

The tour had too many churches and was about two hours too long. It was quite tiring, particularly in the summer heat, though Cassis is definitely worth seeing. Although the tour was sold on the promise of food tasting, there was only one tasting of biscuits, which seemed a bit inadequate.
