# Small Group Marseille Shore Excursion: Aix-en-Provence & Cassis

**Guidekin's take:** A shore excursion for cruise passengers only, with port pickup and drop off, a driver and a small group heading north to Aix-en-Provence and its fountains, then down to Cassis. Lunch, the Cézanne studio ticket and any calanque cruise are extra, and the schedule bends to your ship's departure time. 4.52 from 50 reviews for 7h.
