I wish we did not do the city tour as, we could have easily walked it ourselves. It was 8€/person.

My only reservation in recommending this ride is that the employees were trying to fit too many people in each row of the train and it was definitely not well received by the passengers.!! There is a ticket booth at the harbor where the trains leave from. As much as we enjoy walking around and exploring, the hill is steep and long.A train picks you up in the same parking lot as you are dropped off. Skip this, it is a rip off.
You may have to walk the remainder of the journey to the Basilique (Green Route train) or catch the local bus to return.

We did the first one (route 2). 1 other review that is not currently recommended. Petit Train of Marseille leaves the old port every 20 minutes or so during the spring on one of two routes: the old town and the Notre Dame de la Gard church overlooking the city. As Marseille is quite a hilly city it kind of makes sense. See all photos from Anne M. for Petit Train Touristique. The ride back is much more.

It was about a half hour ride through town and then up to the Basilica, where you can stay and catch a train later.... although you may have to wait in line for a train. The. The petit train (little tourist train) is a kitsch but fun toy-town choo-choo painted in the Marseille livery of blue and white. For about 8 euros a person, they provide a one hour plus tour of the city of Marseilles where you get beautiful scenic views of the city and coastline. I would not want to climb up this hill myself. I mistakenly thought this was a hop on hop off affair. The red route is in the old city and green route takes you to the Notre Dame up the hill. Not a bad way to get around and see the city! You can do that yourself without spending any money ;-))All in all an ok experience and I am unlikely to take such tours again :-) walking is a great way to explore European city and getting lost in the laneways is part of the fun :-))) you also discover some amazing places in the process :-))) It's €7 and €8 for the trips per person.
