I loved the boat trip to If Castle. The building was very nicely renovated,I learned a lot about it's history. The small restaurant offered also delicious dishes. We spent hours to admire the wiew of Marseille from the island. Absolutely recommend.

The bus driver was great, he didn't touch any house fronts, very nice route along the coast and very narrow streets. It's also great that you can use your own headphones via a QR code.

On vacation in Marseille, we took the Colorbus to visit the city. We boarded at the old port, and the staff were very pleasant. After reserving a ticket on the Internet, we exchanged it for a ticket valid for the whole day. The tour has several stops. You get off wherever you want to visit the site you've chosen, and then get back on again at the same point, redeeming your ticket. It was a very pleasant visit. However, beware of branches if you get on the top floor of the bus.

Tickets worked fine but it was along walk to the Colorbus start point. There was a long queue which eventually divided into 2, those with pre-booked tickets and those that needed to buy tickets. We wasted 20 mins standing in the queue, the sign for pre-booked tickets needs to displayed much earlier.

This was the best way to get to all the major sites of the city without the stress of getting different modes of transport. Riding on the top level was especially great - though people need to watch for tree branches!

Ticketing was easy and simple. More difficult to find the app to listen to the commentary. Uncomfortable bus ride due to jerky-ness of the driving. Enjoyed seeing the lovely sights of Marseille.
