Nice introduction to Marseille! - I had a very nice time on this tour today and it was a wonderful introduction to Marseille. It was my first day here so that was perfect. We had five stops in total; 3 were savory and 2 were sweet. Everything we tried was delicious and we were all full at the end. Many of these places I may have just walked past on my own so it was nice to go with a guide.

Wonderful Foods! - I was traveling alone in Marseille and one of the best things to do when solo is a Food Tour. The various food stops were excellent and gave a wonderful variety of foods. Our guide, Francesca, was prompt, patient for those running a little late, and very nice. I would have liked a little more history of Marseille, but overall was very pleased with the tour.

Neither historical nor French - Strengths: Ultra friendly Guide, so nice! Weaknesses: There were very few historical elements, our Guide confessing herself very uncomfortable with historical dates and facts... which was disappointing. Restaurant owners sometimes seemed happy to see us, sometimes too busy. The description of the dishes often boiled down to only a sentence or two, with no cultural/historical explanation. Perhaps the most disappointing was our Reservation in French, hoping for a local experience. The tour was conducted in English, with a Guide who was not French... she offered us to translate, but since French was not her mother tongue, it was easier to understand it in English Are all, neither historical nor local Unfortunately I do not recommend despite the human kindness of our Guide
