Everyone was really friendly and helpful. It was a good way to learn about Marseille. It was my first time visiting. I really enjoyed the whole experience 😊

Although at first, I was told at the old port that the weather wasn't right to go there, the next day too, when I'd already bought my ticket, fortunately, on my penultimate day in Marseille, the exit was scheduled for 11 a.m. while the website announced bad weather (again), I went and had a good experience, the first time I learned about the place was in Alexendre Dumas' book, The Count of Monte Cristo. Little did I know that one day I'd go to the island and walk around the castle, passing through its alleys and visiting its dungeons.

The explanation on the homepage was clear and the entrance quickly found. A sign would have been good, so that we would have seen the fast entrance immediately.

Having read the count of monte cristo, it was amazing to visit Chateau D'If. Absolutely loved it, paid tribute to Dumas and of course Edmond Dantes and Abbey Faria! Boat ride out was lovely and took 25mins. We stayed of the island for an hour and it was the right amount of time as the Chateau is only small. Recommend

We purchased our tickets to Chateau d'If prior to arriving in Marseille. The process was flawless and we were able to skip the line once we arrived on the island. The line can get long after the boat disembarks, so it was a real benefit for us to use Headout.
