About this activity

Design your own Provence adventure from Marseille with a private guide who tailors the day to your interests—whether that's coastal kayaking in the Calanques, medieval hilltop villages, lavender fields, or wine tastings. This flexible 6-hour tour lets you mix culture, nature, and cuisine without following a fixed route.

We suggest that you create your private itinerary in Provence. Do you feel like nature and the city in the same day? Sea and mountain? Go boating and stroll through the alleys of a medieval town?

Everything is possible ! We adapt to your wishes. Half day or full day, you choose what you like the most.

Marseille, the Gineste route, hiking to En Vau, the Crêtes route, Cassis and the most beautiful Calanques of the National Park by boat. Aix en Provence, its 1000 fountains and its mansions. The Sainte Victoire mountain and the Lacoste castle. Discover the Luberon: Gordes, the ochres of Roussillon, the lavender fields and the Senanque abbey. Fontaine de Vaucluse and the canals of L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue? A cooking workshop in the Halles d'Avignon, the Palais des Papes, the Côtes du Rhône wine route, Arles, Les-Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

Let us know what you want, we are here to satisfy you.

Insider tips

  • ★Book around midweek or shoulder season (April–May, September–October) to avoid summer crowds in villages like Gordes and minimize wait times for boats in Cassis.
  • ★If you want boat access to Calanques coves, confirm weather and sea conditions the day before—choppy seas may limit departure.
  • ★Combine a morning hike (En Vau, Crêtes) with an afternoon village stroll or wine tasting to maximize variety without exhaustion.
  • ★Request a morning start if you plan to visit Avignon's Halles (central market) for a cooking workshop—it closes early afternoon.

Good to know

  • •Duration is 6 hours; half-day and full-day options available—clarify your preferred length when booking.
  • •Private guide service: itinerary is customised to your group's pace and interests, not a fixed group tour.
  • •Bring comfortable hiking shoes if you plan trails, swimwear and towel for boat trips, and sun protection year-round.
  • •Accessible to most fitness levels, but hiking routes (En Vau, Crêtes) involve uneven terrain; inform guide of mobility constraints.
  • •Pickup and meeting point logistics should be confirmed at booking; Marseille base is assumed.
