Naguib is a graduate student, and he provided a wonderful tour of the Au Panier district. 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

Naguib is an excellent guide! Not only was he knowledgeable and engaging in sharing the layered histories and neighborhoods of Marseille, but he was also considerate and fun. My friend and I were only in town for two days, and he adapted the tour to ensure we had a full experience of the city. We appreciated his humor and hope to come back to Marseille!Incredible Experience!

This was an absolutely wonderful tour. Not only did we try some amazing food, but Naguib was very knowledgeable about the city itself. It was nice to listen to the rich revolutionary history of Marseille while we walked and ate. We had no idea about the rich history of this lovely city. I only wish it hadn't been such a sweltering hot day so that we could have enjoyed being outside even more, but that cannot be helped. We really enjoyed our time with Naguib and are so happy that we booked this tour.Perfect day exploring the city

Naguib was wonderful. He is knowledgeable, easy going and fun. Hearing his perspectives on Marseille, learning a little about the nearby neighborhoods, having the chance to taste delicious food and see some of the amazing street art were a wonderful start to our visit and increased our appreciation of Marseille. We highly recommend him as a guide.Marseille street art and food tour

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Naguib walking through Le Panier and Noailles! He is very knowledgeable about both the history of Marseille and the current social environment. He’s welcoming and accommodating and introduced us to areas and treats we definitely would have missed on our own. My husband and I can’t recommend him enough. Next time we are here we hope he’s available!Best Afternoon in Marseille

We had a very interesting morning with Naguib who made the effort to do the tour in French and English to accommodate all family members. He knows a lot and showed us some well hidden spots and gave if ideas for things to do after the tour. He was very flexible when we arrived a bit late due to traffic and changed the meeting point quickly near to our parking.Very flexible and knowledgeable

Thanks Naguib for an informative, enlightening and of course tasty few hours! We really enjoyed the combination of street art among our many tastings, and could not come close to finishing our meal at the end. Luckily Naguib could arrange some takeaway boxes for us 👌 it was extremely busy in Marseille due to the rugby World Cup but Naguib could find solutions - thank you and good luck with your studies! Nom nom nom!

A wonderful experience walking with Naguib and hearing the history of this marvellous and surprising city. Ambling along listening to Naguib share his in depth knowledge and understanding of Marseille’s story over thousands of years of conquest and revival was fascinating and enlightening. The recent history of Nazi occupation was brought to life by his gift of storytelling. A memorable walk made special by Naguib. Hidden Delights of Marseilles

Mit Naguib hatten wir einen kenntnisreichen und sympathischen Guide für die Tour zu den Streetart Highlights, der uns auch gut die Hintergründe für die Migranten-Aktionen in Marseille dargestellt hat. Einziges Handycap war der Treffpunkt für die Tour: den Cour Julien gibt es sowohl als Straße als auch als Platz... Ein kurzweiliger Trip

We thank Naguib for a really exciting tour through Marseille street art. He is a nice guy and we felt he’s really burning for what he’s doing. For us - being completely novices - an absolutely great introduction into street art. We certainly wouldn’t have experienced these side of the city without his knowledge. We absolutely recommend his tour! Great insights to Marseille street art

We had a fantastic tour - Naguib was well- informed, considered guide who showed us around places that we probably wouldn’t have gone to. He really brought it to life for us and was able to explain the art to complete novices. Would certainly recommend to anyone who is in Marseille Brilliant experience - loved it

Naguib’s enthusiasm for food was infectious! Marseille is a melting pot of different cultures and I felt that the tour captured the city’s essence. We’ve tasted everything from unbearably delicious traditional Provence cuisine to amazing Middle Eastern dishes and deserts. Naguib’s very engaging and a pleasure to spend time with. I could not have wished for a better guide or a better tour.Fantastic Tour

This was a personal, interesting and educational walking tour of Marseille near the old port and neighborhoods around it. We enjoyed a relaxed cup of tea at an outdoor café, and many personal stories that helped us understand the history and culture of Marseille and southern France. We really enjoyed it. Such a delightful guide
