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.

This is the (or an) official Tourism office in Marseille. Located adjacent to the Vieux Port, it's…read morea central location that has an extensive set of guides and tour books inside. Some of the local city tour companies have their starting points outside the office usually somewhere along the street. A helpful and necessary place to visit if you're looking for a map or someone who speaks English that can guide you wherever you need to go in the city. The official city tour of Marseille run by NAP Tourism stops right outside the office. It's about a 90 minute tour or so with an audio track. You go from the old port up steep side streets to the Basilique Notre Dame where you have 40 minutes to go around, and take pictures. Then it goes around the rest of the city highlighting important districts, other prominent churches, and the like. It's NOT a hop-on, hop-off tour besides the one stop at the Notre Dame cathedral so it's nice to sit on a warm bus on a colder day. You get a nice overview of the city and I encourage you save a day to take a cliche tour. It's especially good if you're only in the city for a short time and want to make the most of it.

One thing I am learning about France is that most larger towns and all cities have tourism offices…read moreand the workers usually speak decent English. In Marseille's office, one of their workers was actually from the US and he helped me out a lot when trying to navigate around the city. He was able to explain the Metro system, train schedule, and gave me maps of both the city and of walking tours around Marseille. This should be your first stop if visiting Marseille.

It's true one can take cheap flights from here, but that doesn't mean that passenger services…read moreshould be lacking. Checking our documentation carefully arrived early at the airport. A printed sign at the entrance of the queue for Ryanair reiterated the need to check in at least 40 minutes prior. 30 minutes of queuing for our visa check and to register our luggage (we had already checked ourselves in online) only to be told we were too EARLY to deposit our luggage. I could have screamed. I questioned the lack of signage re this time and was advised that it was broken down. No-one had thought to put up a printed sign to say earliest luggage drop
