Day Trips from Marseille: Private Tours with Driver
From Marseille, whether you start at your hotel, Saint-Charles station or the cruise port, you can set off for half a day or a full day: Cassis and the calanques are forty-five minutes away, Aix-en-Provence half an hour, the Luberon and Arles just over an hour. TSE Tourisme & Transport takes you there with a private driver, in a Mercedes Sprinter minibus for 8 to 19 passengers, a van or a sedan, at a fixed all-inclusive price.

Half-day trips from Marseille
In four to five hours from Marseille, you can see Cassis, its harbor and Cap Canaille, or Aix-en-Provence and Mont Sainte-Victoire. These are also the best shore excursions for a port call: we pick passengers up at the Marseille cruise port and bring them back before all-aboard.
Full-day trips from Marseille
With a full day, about nine hours, you can visit Marseille in the morning and Cassis in the afternoon, head to the Luberon villages, the Camargue and Arles, or as far as the Verdon Gorge. Your driver drops you as close as possible to each site and waits during your visits.
