It's not a big airport, but the place is understaffed and the staff are not in a hurry at all. I…read moreguess because I'm American and from LA that I'm used to a little more speed and I want lines to go faster? It's a pretty, little airport, but it was kinda smelly. Smelled like a sewer line leak happened somewhere. Other than that, the place had good places to rest and clean places to snack and buy food and beverages.

A very manageable airport. Taxis are readily available (However, Uber is half the price.) Allow…read moreyour self plenty of time in the airport on departure, if you do not have a Business Class or priority seating, baggage check-in lines and security lines can be long and slow even in low-season. Cute shops, Duty-Free, and plenty of food options in the airport. Free WiFi is also available. Bon Voyage!!

Quality/Quantity - As cautious travelers, we always stop by the train station on our first day in…read morethe city to buy our tickets for the next leg of our trip. This is an especially good suggestion for people that do not speak the language. After asking and stopping by 3 full service ticket booths, we finally found ours, Inoui! We were also willing to pay more for reserved seats. So while all the other ticket counters had lines out the door, we were the only customers here and received FULL service. Easy to buy our tickets, ask and get educated about their train system, etc. See you all in Nice, France. :) Ambiance - It is a major public train station, so come early if you are not experienced. Crazy busy as expected. Pay to use toilets - 1 Euro. Several floors. There are actually good views of the city from some parts of the station. Service - Overall good. The best service was our train station, Inoui. Price - 45 Euros per person to Nice. $53 USD. Owner Comment - Thanks for having affordable and smooth transportation with Inoui to Nice.

We have to come here to catch our train but this train station is nothing like I have seen before…read more UPDATE - workers on strike Everywhere you look there is garbage spilling over, surrounded by trash. It is very unhealthy and unsanitary. Quite disgusting.

Cezanne would come up the quarries to paint and even lived in the quarries at one point. The…read morequarries is now a park which you can visit. We went in September 2015 and at the time tours were only offered in French but the Aix tourism office highly recommended this tour which was only 7 Euros. Parking was at Parking des 3 Bons Dieux, avenue Jean et Marcel Fontenaille and a bus along with tour guide accompany you up to the quarries. Our tour guide spoke perfect English so while the tour was only in French, he would help us out and give part of the tour in English. Our tour guide knew EVERYTHING about Cezanne so it was a great informative tour about why Cezanne is considered the father of modern art. Our guide walked us through the quarry and pointed out how different points of perspective were changed in his paintings....inspiring the Cubists. I think we got the most out of this tour because it was a small group so def worth the trip!

I have used this tour company before when I am in Provence…read more This was a full day tour, but with a wonderful guide, Silvia which made the tour memorable. She is in college studying art history. It always helps when a guide is flexible and add little stops to make the trip fun. I asked if she could stop at my favorite olive oil producer in Les Baux, Castelas and she agreed. From Les Baux to St Rémy de Provence to see the hospital where Van Gogh was hospitalized and where he painted many landscapes. From,St Rémy to Arles, where Van Gogh also painted many famous pictures: Cafe Nuit, Harbor at night, and the yellow room.There was a special exhibition of Van Gogh's paintings. Truly a must see tour with this company and this special guide.

During one of our cruise stops in France, I did not know where to start in terms of seeing this…read morecity in just one day. But luckily I found an awesome way to see Marseille. Contact: Book them early and you can visit their website. During the summer months, the Greeters fill up so please plan ahead. Cost: Donation only. Please be kind and tip your guide generously, these people put in lots of homework and heart into this job. Tour: Unique and each greeter will take you on their own tour. Our guide took us to the best chocolate store in Marseille, as a side note. And our tour was capped off by seeing the Notre Dame Cathedral. Our tour was a 4 hour walking tour, but the time sure flies. Bring good shoes, and make sure your party is fit for this kind of walk. Overall: I liked our tour guide alot and when compared to paid tours (Viator, boo!), I will pick the Greeters all over again.

Quality/Quantity - The "can-do" positive service makes this place a 6 star visit…read more When we arrived, we got upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite, thank you, as it was so spacious. Small kitchenette, toilet separate from wash room, two balconies, and a living room. More space than we needed, but really appreciated it. The room was slightly dated, but we do not mind as long as it is clean (and safe). We only need the room to sleep in. We spend all or our time in the city we are visiting. And especially thank you for having hotel laundry. If you are following, we have to do laundry every week for our extended travels. Ambiance - See above. Perfect location to all the tourist spots, in the middle of both the North and South Marseilles. Modern lobby. Very small cafe. Safe - You need a room key to get into the building after 10pm and to use elevators. Service - 6 stars. The manager here was more than accommodating and welcoming. Even gave us a verbal exit survey to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Price - Less than $150 a night. Owner Comment - Thanks for an affordable well located place to stay. And please take care of your manager at this location as he is exceptional!!

I am truly at a loss for words at how great our experience here was! My husband and I came to…read moreMarseille for a week for a small honeymoon away and I had made a small mention of that in my booking and was extremely surprised to have been given a free room upgrade and the cutest welcome to our room! I was extremely hesitant to stray away from booking a typical hotel, as that is what I am used to, but after seeing the state of the Airbnb's in Marseille, I am truly grateful we went with Staycity! Everyone was so kind and welcoming from the very first day, to the very last minute! The small touches of tea in the lobby or lemon water/ croissants. The "good morning, how are you?" And the security at the doors really made us feel so safe and welcome in our home away from home. The bed was a little firm but the pillows were cozy and it was nice to have so much space to spread out after long days of exploring. I will be highly recommending Staycity to all of my friends and family if they ever visit Marseille. Y'all are amazing, thank you for great memories!
