A tour of the heart of Marseille - Excellent tour that invited us into the heart of Marseille. Our guide Francois gave us a tour that covered the important buildings and cultural spots, interspersed with stops at places of interest including a stop to see boules being played. He shared with us the historical events that made the city and current events that shape Marseille. He was in no rush and stayed with us a bit longer than the tour to show us the old port area entrance.

A pleasant walk in old port - Very good guide, came to our hotel to start tour, spent extra time with us since we are older and walk slower. Directed us to a wonderful restaurant for dinner.

Learned a lot in 90 minutes - We had a great experience with local guide, Kevin. We received regular and useful communications leading up to the tour. Kevin was on time, listened to what our interests were, and was very interesting and knowledgeable. We expressed we were interested in the history of Marseille and Kevin focused on that.

More Than Just Touristy - Andrii was an excellent tour guide, taking us to some picturesque locales as well as some places that were more “off the beaten path” - markets, local favorites, etc. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Marseille’s history, hubbub, and hangouts. Our tour was full of fun, intrigue, and a newfound appreciation for this cultural melting pot.
