The guide was very informative and knowledgable. Cassis is as beautiful as advertised. There a multiple great restaurants for lunch and the markets were great 😀
Beautiful Calanques…wish we could swim!

We booked this tour because we really wanted to explore the Calanques and learn more about Provence wines. In retrospect I think you need 2 separate tours for this.
Our guide was Camille who was engaging and friendly. Our first stop was the town of Cassis, where we got on a hour long boat to see the Calanques. I expected a private boat for our group but it had others on it. The captain gave commentary in French which I understood but others in our group did not. This boat ride was underwhelming. I’d recommend switching the agenda to actually including swimming in the Calanques with a private boat for the group. The nature itself is stunning. The Calanques are pristine clear bays flanked by the most impressive limestone cliffs. Now a national park, they previously mined a lot of the limestone here to build the ports around the area. We observed kayakers and swimmers in each bay.
Next we went to Cap Canail which is a viewpoint with a birds eye views of the town. We then stopped for 2 hours in Cassis to enjoy lunch and explore. Our group enjoyed eating lunch together and Camille was great at helping us order food.
Then we were off to a winery called Bodin. We enjoyed the wine tasting. It was informative and the wine was good. However while we were there a few other tour groups also showed up. This clearly annoyed the lady at the winery doing the tastings and she bitched about it to our group which felt unprofessional. We did enjoy the wine and tried to buy the wine to be shipped, they emailed us a quote but never bothered responding to our follow up question. There are fantastic other wineries we self toured along the D98 road between Hyères and St Tropez, maybe make the winery tour separate.
Do not pass up this tour!

What a day! Cassis, the cliffs, the boat ride, the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, shopping and a wine tasting. Our guide, Camielle was wonderful, very informative and interesting. Pictures cannot show the beauty of this area. Hands down, would visit again!
