Don’t bother with hop on bus like we did. If you want to visit the Notre Dame Basilique, take the land tourist train. Much cheaper Read Less

Marseille was switched to Toulon on our cruise due to the interprofessional strike in France which we already knew about from train travelling there prior to the cruise. Toulon was great: kids enjoyed seeing the French naval vessels and MSC provided free shuttle buses and boats into town and we just explored by foot. Read Less

Not much to see near port. Free city shuttle. Read Less

unable to access all parts of city i.e. church. Too much walking Read Less

I had originally planned to visit Aix-en-Provence by train when in Marseille, but a French railway strike meant that this was not possible. Instead I visited the Church of Notre Dame de la Guard which dominates the Marseille skyline and I was not disappointed. I walked for about 10 minutes to the entrance to the cruise port (following the green line) where a free shuttle bus took me to a stop near where the ferries to Algeria are berthed. Note that this free bus does not start service until after 9.00 am. I then walked and visited the Cathedrale de Major which opens at 10.00 am, and then went further along the road to the Mucem St Jean where I caught Bus 60 to Notre Dame. The church is a large and interesting complex, and the views of the city are spectacular. On the way back from Notre Dame I spent some time wandering about the Old Port before returning to the free shuttle bus. There was a large crowd waiting to board the shuttle bus back to the cruise terminal as there were two large MSC cruise ships in port. Read Less

Strolled through the fish market and experienced a (non-violent) demonstration. The Christmas Market was going on--crafts etc. Bought beautiful scented soaps. Read Less

Nice town and did go to fish market, but other than that...not worth the time.IMO Read Less

Very nice city. Decorations for Christmas were very pretty. Read Less

Second time to Marseille -- not a fan of it, but as I boarded the ship there I took the opportunity to visit Avignon for a day beforehand, which was fantastic despite the cold and rain. Read Less

Interesting history, well organized, good guide Read Less

Marseille did not interest me as much. We ate at a tasty restaurant. Read Less

$15 Bus ride to city center provided by NCL. Paid additional $10 for taxi to visit Basilique Notre-Dame. Because of rain, decided to visit indoor mall. Later visited the town market. Too little time to do much. Back to ship by 3pm. Read Less

Well timed and good sites Read Less

Quaint village Read Less

Le Castellet was cute. Read Less

Rode a bus around town with an hour of free time. Read Less

No reason to take a tour. Grab a map and walk. Read Less

Pleasant port of call - remember there is a free bus provided by the city Read Less

Rude overpriced boring place. We went on our own to see an old port walked there. Again watching every second. Saw a young american couple only 3 americans couples onboard total. They had 2 small kids and could not afford the excursions or overpriced museums here. They just walked around. Read Less

Walking tour of Marseilles shops and waterfront. Nice, but not exciting. Read Less

Nice overview of the city with time to explore on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Read Less

Good tour, enjoyed the history and architecture and the old town Read Less

Too long coach ride comparing with the time in the town. Read Less

This tour was basically a bus tour and the tour guide wasn't particularly engaging. Read Less

Very enjoyable touring the city and going by boat to this very scenic natural wonder. Read Less
