Excellent way to see more of Marseille

The HOHO is perfect for first-time visitors, for individuals with mobility issues, and for those who think young!

Marseille is the largest port and the 2nd largest city in France and is a gateway to other cities in France.

All in all, the scenery was wonderful and the weather was good. But I urge you to take a hat and cardigan since the top is completely open and it can get chilly on a cloudy day. The cost for two lines was about $40US.

Good tour of Marseille and you can get off at the Ferry terminal

I came by train from Paris CDG airport to Marseille train station. Walked to the old port and took this conveniently located hop on hop off tour.

The price was reasonable, and the route map covered many attractive and picturesque locations. There a long stop at the main church that sits high on a hill top. I loved the Marseille coast line taking this tour.

The tour also has its last stop at the Place De Joliette station. It was convenient for me as I had a ferry to catch from here. This tour worked out well for me.

The driver was care while driving and the staff did a good job with the information.

Simple means for first impression

We have used HopOn HopOff in many cities. It is a simple and cost effective way to get an overview of a new place.

Once around, and you can decide what warrants a return visit. We bought the one day ticket as we had already done some touring (not our usual approach).

The buses arrived on schedule and as we are off season, there were nearly always seats on the top.

The drivers were pleasant even though we have no French.
