Raphaelle was really helpful and made sure I knew my way round the kayak before I went on my trip. I had an absolute blast (the day was glorious). Really happy with the friendly service, plenty good enough gear; Highly recommended.

The Kayak is the best way to discover the Green Island (Ile Verte), the Eagle Beak (Bec de l'Aigle) and the Mugel Creek (Calanque du Mugel), evolving over the water enjoying the unic point of view. A map and explainations will be provided in order to enjoy as much as possible depending on the weather. All year long it's a great experience and a sweet way to discover this part of the Calanques National Park. The price is for the day. It's an interesting tour that only a boat can provide you those points of view. The meeting point is at EXPENATURE : 168 Avenue Wilson 13600 La Ciotat on the new port just behing the Casino.

Inclusions: Private tour

Exclusions: The listed price does not include parking fee, payable at the time of tour check-in.

What a wonderful day trip from Toulon and our cruise ship. Sasha from Toursbylocals was supurb! Cannot say enough about this great day excursion. We had a wonderful day driving first to Aix-en-Provence- just a lovely French town (for a quick, buttery croissant & coffee) and onto Cassis a pleasant fishing village by the sea. Sasha led us to a delicious seaside lunch spot where mussels & fries were the local specialties. Cassis was a fun town to walk around and view the locals enjoying their Sunday at the shore. We then drove to the highest scenic road to a fantastic view of the city and area. Sasha knew so much about the sites and the area. Though we learned about the Calanques, we did not have time for a boat ride to visit the spot but learned about these very special and unique places. Everyone loved Sasha as our guide and this special day excursion.

Cassis pebbly beaches, calanques, limestone cliffs and driving the spectacular scenic Route des Crêtes along the clifftops to Cap Canaille. Cassis discovery - the magic begins to works its wonders when we leave Marseille climbing up over the steep hillsides & tiny roads taking us to the picturesque fishing village of Cassis. The road bends its way between vineyards & pine woods. The charm of Cassis shows itself as you explore little alleyways & squares edged with colourful fishermen's houses. Cassis marks everyone's mind as they discover the harbour for the first time, the boats & welcoming café terraces. The drive between Marseille and Cassis is a spectacular one. Following the clifftop road - Route des Crêtes to Cap Canaille, towering cliffs reach a height of 394 meters. This winding road connects La Ciotat to Cassis, offering spectacular views and an exceptional panorama over La Ciotat's bay & Ile Verte beyond. Ahead, the vast massif of the Calanques towers over the sea.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: We include a stop for lunch and happy to make suggestions and reservations in advance., Boat trip to visit the Calanques

This is a review about our experience "so far" with Christopher and Ooh Provence. A number of months ago, as usual, I did extensive research and found a photographer and I contacted him to see about a photo experience while in Marseille. He responded immediately and then told me about his tour company which extends beyond just photography. It was perfect...a guide that could help 2 amateur photographers get some unique shots in a great city plus learn about the history at the same time. I find this is a great way to explore a city. So, of course ,I booked and paid the deposit etc. and we confirmed our date. Then along came Covid 19 and I finally had to cancel .This company offers full refund up to 24 hours in advance of tour and Christopher had no problem with an immediate refund. I will add that is not the case with some hotels etc. I am so impressed with the customer service under very extraordinary circumstances and will definitely book with Ooh Provence in the future when we can return post Covid. Based on my experience so far I am sure we will have a great time touring Marseille and the surrounding area with Christopher. I often find the true test of a good travel company is how they handle unexpected problems and can be flexible. Christopher delivers on this for sure!!

We enjoyed the experience and it was a big highlight of our trip. However, we never received the promised recipes even after repeated email requests. I would suggest you take detailed notes during the class.
