What people are saying about Marseille

Our tour was made special by our guide Ina, her extensive knowledge of the local cuisine, together with general information about Marseille, was invaluable . We would recommend that you start the tour really hungry, such is the choice, variety and quantity of the delicious food on offer!).

The guide excellent … snd she deserves the five star rating! The first couple restaurants were very good the remaining 3 were mediocre experiences…. The pastry shops were a single bite size sample….

Was a great tour! Even though we took a bit longer to purchase some great wines to take home, our guide was very patient and understanding. Magnificent way to spend a morning.

The guide was kind, well-studied, and I understood the historical background very well. Also, the French guide's English was almost perfect.

The best experience with Johann and his team! Would definitely recommend
