Flexibility is the name of the game when it comes to Colorbüs tours.
Your ticket is valid for the whole day. So you can take a full tour without getting off the bus, in which case the tour lasts around 1 hour / 1 hour 15 minutes (the length of the tour depends on traffic conditions in Marseille).
Or you can get off at any stop you like and spend hours exploring Marseille on foot before getting back on the bus to visit another place.
You decide which sites to visit, which stops to get off at, and even when you start and finish your tour. You can see it all on our itineraries or just see the best of what Marseille has to offer.
If you decide to take a full tour without getting off the bus, the tour lasts around 1 hour / 1 hour 15 minutes (the length of the tour depends on traffic in Marseille).
