One of our most favorite things, upon coming to a new city or place, is immersing ourselves and getting to know locals in the area. Anthony did not disappoint! He took us to many of the local hot spots, taught us so much about Marseille, and even more so... informed us about the culture and diversity. It was an experience we won't forget. This is a tour and experience to be recommended for sure! One we not ever forget. Thank you, Anthony for such an amazing time exploring your city!Amazing experience and great immersion!

My husband and I recently had a tour with Anthony in Marseille. He was exceptional and so knowledgeable. He was extremely thorough and personable. we felt so comfortable walking all over Marseille with him. He is very astute on local events which helps because he was aware of current events, that we were not aware of. It was wonderful getting to know him and meet a new friend! If in Marseille, Anthony is the guide you want, and I promise you will not be disappointed.Marseille Must Do

Dès les premières secondes de notre rencontre avec Iseult, on savait qu’on passerait un moment très agréable! C’était notre première fois à Marseille et Iseult nous a fait découvrir cette ville et ses charmes avec un mélange de faits historiques, faits divers, une bonne pointe d’humour et des petits quiz amusants. Plus que ça, elle était aussi intéressée par ces 2 Québécois qui débarquaient dans sa ville. Que de bons et beaux moments entre nous! Soucieuse de notre temps à Marseille et ce désir de manger un moules-frites, elle nous a même réservé une table chez Coquille pour le déjeuner! Merci pour tout Iseult et si la vie nous ramène à Marseille, on te fera signe!Quelle belle découverte!

This was a really good walking tour around Marseille - Iseult gave us so many insights into the city and its history that we would not have gleaned on our own. As we were staying in the city another 3 days it helped us to really target where we wanted to cover by ourselves. Iseult has an extensive knowledge of history, museums, art (and also a few great eating places!), she is very warm and friendly - an excellent guide.Excellent insight of Marseille by Iseult

We were in a cruise in Marseille and decided to talk this walking tour. We met our guide Iseult right in time and started walking. Inknow the whole point of these tours is to see parts of the city you wouldn’t in your own and we did just that. All four of us loved the tour and Iseult was a fantastic guide answering all our questions, even following up after the tour to answer a question my very particular husband asked :-). My only tiny point of feedback is that the tour description said it included a drink at a stop along the way. That part didn’t happen. However, I must stress that we had a wonderful thing and it’s very minor I often find these websites and apps make small omissions like this. I’m coming back to Marseille in November and will book a tour again with Iseult - look no further just book. A wonderful experience if Marseille

Iseult was more than incredible. Greta knowledge, personable and went out of her way to make our family's day perfect. She even went to some local cheese shops the day before to get us her favorites because they would be closed the day we were in town. Can't recommend her more highly!!Incredible, personalized tour!

Our family just finished the best day with Anthony. Not only is he sweet, pleasant to be with and very intelligent, he is a wonderful teacher. All 5 of us (ages 18-77) found him interesting and very personable. Although i had never thought about Marseilles - it was a stop along the cruise, I can't wait to plan another trip here to explore this wonderful city more (and spend some more time with Anthony). Wonderful day in Mareiselles

Christopher led us on an afternoon tour of art and architecture in Marseille. We had some ideas of what type of places we wanted to visit and Christopher guided us to them explaining other buildings and neighborhoods in Marseille as we walked by them. We were interested in the current art scene. Christopher having a studio in the city and being familiar with the current art scene gave us an insider’s view. We visited several galleries and Le Couvent - a community garden and artist residency development in a former convent and then to the nearby La Friche Belle de Mai. It is a former tobacco factory that has been converted into a contemporary art space. Christopher was an engaging guide taking us to the sites we were interested in. Along the way, we ran into several of his artist friends and colleagues who complimented his work. It was rich tour that brought the current art scene to life.Exploring art / architecture in Marseille

Christopher gave us a very thorough tour. We walked thru the forts in the Catalan and he explained their history and use. We also visited the mansion that Napoleon III built for his wife, but she did not want to use. We also toured other spots in the Catalan. We toured the Old Port area and Christopher discussed the history of the port including its ancient history, as well as more recent history and the various attempts at urban renewal. He discussed notable buildings and churches. We finished up our tour in the Pannier district and the Cathedral. He brought us to several ceramic galleries that we wanted to visit as well as a couple of art galleries that we enjoyed. He had booked us a reservation at a wonderful vegetarian restaurant for lunch. He is an enthusiastic guide who is happy to share his knowledge and tailor the tour to our interests. It was a superb tour. Christopher knows the City and history.

Christopher gave a memorable contemporary art tour of Marseille. Weeks later, I am still visualizing the different venues Christopher took us to. We visited two wonderful art galleries. The first had an incredible textile art exhibit that was truly beautiful. The second gallery had a lovely painting show with paintings by a woman artist. Christopher and the gallery owner had a very interesting discussion about art and the artist. Christopher also took us to a tobacco factory that had been converted into a modern art gallery. The exhibit was on ecology and architecture and art. We loved it. Our final stop was so unusual and memorable. It was of a natural garden that was home to many artists’ studios. Christopher was very knowledgeable about the art scene and architecture in Marseille. We would definitely take another tour with him.An Art Tour With Lasting Memories

Paul was my guide. Very enthusiastic and full of knowledge about history, culture and food of Marseille . Overall one of best tours have been on anywhere both for his company and quality, variety and amount of food. Lots of highlights but the crispy creamy panisse and the filled baguettes at Pan a la Ail were outstanding. A lovely tasting stop at Maison Bremond. A shop with myriad of delights. Tasted oils, vinegars, sweet pastes. Bought couple of small things but wish had room in my carry-on for more. Have done lots of food tours but this was one of the best ever. Thank you PaulGreat tour - one of the best

The tour with Paul was excellent. As promised, he took us to “hidden gems” in Marseille that we would never have found. The cafe we stopped for a snack was delicious. His knowledge of the history was the perfect amount. As I walk with a cane, he walked at our pace, no rushing. He was upbeat, on time and very sociable. Prior to going, I communicated with him through the App and he always responded in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend Paul as your guide through Marseille.December 30 2024

Our tour « Highlights & Hidden Gems of Marseille » with Paul was fantastic! What a beautiful city and what a knowledge bel and thoughtful tour guide. Paul took us to Marseille’s many different quarters and gave us a taste of the various local and multicultural aspects of life you can expect to experience in marseille. All this while organizing/modifying our itinarery as he saw it fit. We really loved our visit to the old port, Noailles and le Panier. Paul brought them to life. He clearly loves what he does and he loves Marseille too! We left regretting that we did not have more time to spend in this wonderful city. This was an excursion we did while cruising. We took the Marseille’s city free shuttle and it worked for us. 10 min walk from ship to the shuttle 15 min on the bus another 15 minute walk to the old port. Straight forward and easy.

He also took us to Basilica of Notre-Dame-of-la-Garde and gave us a small taste of the more commercial part of Marseille. He spent much more time with us than he was obligated. In Au Panier, the restaurant and food establishment owners/staff were all very happy to see him. and the food in every place was outstanding. Definitely use Naguib if you want to get a great feel for the old Marseille.Passionate About Au Panier

Followup to Naguib’s comments: Naguib, I ‘m sorry you disagree with my review, but the facts are the facts. You should NEVER change the nature of the tour without asking or talking to the clients. We knew exactly what we signed up for. The following week on a group tour, I walked from the bottom of Sacre Cour to the top. Additionally you made up various excuses for the change. You NEVER cancel a tour, (for any reason) , without contacting the clients and telling them. I’m glad others had good experiences with you, but I was rating OUR experience, not theirs. I stick by my original comments, but do not intend to have any further conversation on the subject. Diappointing Tour with Naguib

My friends and I had a wonderful time with Iseult! I definitely recommend her, especially if you have a group of younger adults. We are young travelers, and Iseult catered the tour to go to places and shops younger people would like while still experiencing the culture of the city. She is very fun to be around and also knowledgable about the city! I'd especially like to recommend her because she gave us advice on how to stay safe in the city. My friends and I are young and inexperienced travelers so we try to be extra careful, and had heard to be wary of Marseille at night. She gave us all the right advice and told us to contact her if we ran into issues. There are a million good things to say about her!Iseult is wonderful!

Iseult is a wonderful human. Let me say first we arrived 45 minutes late bc we came from a cruise ship, Iseult was patient with us while we found the meet up location and didn’t want us to stress over making her wait. Iseult was extremely passionate about the history of Marseille and led a story book experience through the gems of the city from her local perspective. From the panoramic views of the port, to the world reknown intimate pebble streets, and artisan soap shops, we could not have asked for a better tour guide to reveal the beautiful city of Marseille. You must book with Iseult if you want to make the best of your time and enjoy the magic of Marseille. Magic of Marseille
