We watched the shore excursions that threaded through every European city. In every case, we witnessed a guide holding a flag in front of a group of people who looked disinterested and lost. We personally selected our guides to inspire you, to educate you, and to entertain you. On our shore excursions, you will have your own guide, which allows you to interact with a local for each stop on your selected itinerary. We use different guides who specialize in the tour description you purchase, so you may walk with art historians, sociologists, archeologists, all people with very specialized interests. Our shore excursions may seem costly but the cities you are visiting are stimulating with thousands of years of history. As long as you have decided to make this vacation, we believe you may as well make the most of it. We are very proud of our selection of tours and our guides.
Every city on the Mediterranean claims to be the largest port on this body of water but we believe that Marseilles may be speaking the truth. Founded by the Greeks in 600 BC, its focus has been imports and exports, creating a mix of cultures that Alexandre Dumas described as "the meeting place for the entire world."
Our excursions take you to the city's highlights, including a cooking class to make bouillabaisse as it was first created here. We also recommend the areas around this big city for sightseeing, which can turn your senses to the refined French life.
The surrounding villages, which have become cities, are filled with art, Roman ruins, markets of local crafts and foods, and so much stimulation that it feels a hard task to recommend one excursion over the other.
We have described each tour in a way that you will be able to select the one that most appeals but the truth is there is no way you can go wrong in any direction. You can only go wrong if you choose instead to experience none of them. Then you will never know the moment, as it passes.
