Day trip to visit Cassis & the Calanques
D M, Dec 2024
My wife and I did the “day trip” visit to Cassis with Laurent of OohProvence booked thru Viator. We have to say Laurent was a wonderful guide and host for our private tour. He surprised us with extra stops at the Norte Dame de la Garde, a small fishing port in the 8th Arrondissment and a winery in the hills above Cassis.
Laurent was the perfect host for a wonderful 10 hour day.
Responses from Christopher C
Thank you for spending time with us. I enjoyed the day we spent together and I was so happy to read your kind words - very much appreciated. What we aim for on a tour like this one is to experience a little more than just Cassis and the Calanques, which are in themselves very beautiful, but captured with the backdrop of Cap Canaille, the wineries of Cassis and the entire bay of Marseille - we hope our guests leave having seen the best that this area can offer. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation - the itinerary you had sounded amazing! Hope you will find time to come back and visit us again, sometime in the future. Thank you again, Laurent @OohProvence.
Short break in Cassis

Absolutely buzzing place, ideal hotel on the harbour & as you may guess the food was great. Try the boat trips worth doing

We’re so pleased you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again.
Magnificent!
Traceybm, Dec 2024
We had the pleasure of spending 2 full days with Chris and all 10 of us loved it. We went to Cassis and Marseille on one day and 4 villages of the Luberon on the 2nd. Chris was just fantastic. He adapted to us very quickly with a very relaxed, likeable style. His knowledge was great and we all felt that were were travelling with a friend. When in Provence go with OohProvence. Thank you Chris and hope to see you soon!
Responses from oohprovence
Hi Tracey, I too enjoyed my two days spent with you and your group - It was super fun and thank you for your review. It was my pleasure and now I too have a reason to come visit New Zealand! Thank you again and please, please, please come back again. Christopher oohProvence
Tours by locals Cassis tour with Christopher Curtis
Wayne19087, Dec 2024
We had a great experience touring Cassis with Christopher Curtis. We found him on the site Tours by Locals. Christopher met us at port as we disembarked from our cruise ship. We had a group of 14 with a mix of adults, teenagers, and children. Christopher had a clean, air conditioned vehicle waiting and took us to Cassis. He had arranged transport into the town, as large vehicles are not permitted to drive into the town. Christopher was very accommodating to all of our requests, and was flexible in the schedule. After Cassis, he took us to a spectacular spot overlooking the village to take pictures. He also took pictures with his camera, as he is a photographer, and emailed them to us after the tour. Once we returned to port, he arranged special transport back the ship for a member of our party who is handicap. All in all a wonderful day, and Christopher made it very easy. I would highly recommend him!

Thank you so much for reviewing our tours here on TripAdvisor. It was a great pleasure to meet you and all your family and to have the opportunity to show you a little bit of what makes this region so special. Cassis and the coast around is spectacular and I hope the photographs sent to you will serve as a nice souvenir of your visit. Hope to have the opportunity to welcome you all back again sometime in the future. Christopher OohProvence
