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.

must do walking food and history tour in marseille 5 star! - great way to get to taste local cuisine aswell as get some insight into the history of marseille. easy meet up at the view port in marseille where our amazing guide sophie took us round and gave us some great history and pointers of other things we should take in whilst in marseille.we stopped for some tapas style lunch giving us the opportunity to try several dishes and then moved on to try some more food and local drinks at a brasserie and cafe before moving on to a local sweet shop and patisserie to sample some sweets and cakes. 3-4 hour tour,highly recommended.

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.

Just average - The city was great. Would have preferred our guide join us and talk more about the city and food rather than wait outside.

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

Scam! Scam and… SCAM! - This tour was incredibly disappointing and inaccurate. Despite all the positive reviews, it fell far short of expectations. The three local restaurants we visited were all subpar, catering more to tourists than offering authentic culinary experiences. The food selections were lackluster and uninspired, leaving us feeling like we could have found better options just by exploring Marseille on our own. It was not only a waste of money but also a significant waste of time, leaving us with a negative impression of the city.
The only redeeming aspect of the tour was our guide, Inga. She went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and cared for. Her warm personality and attentive nature helped salvage an otherwise dismal experience. I would not recommend booking this tour unless you're content with tasting mediocrity.
