Our tour around Marseille was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and he backed up his commentary with photos so we were able to understand better. He was fun and and gave us information on places to eat, other sites to see, opening hours snd how to get there. Essy is a great guide and this is an excellent way to start your trip to Marseille.

One of the best walking tours I’ve been on. Our guide was so informative and shared a lot about the history and the change that took place over the last 11 years! He was entertaining and it made the tour feel so short even though it ran past 2 hours! After the tour, he helped with directions and recommendations for food and things to do in Marseille. Highly recommend as he’s one of the best ones!

Our guide was not only great at navigating us through the vibrant streets and hidden gems of the city, but his passion for Marseille was truly infectious. He brought the history and culture to life with his humor and vast knowledge. What really stood out was his willingness to stay after the tour to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see Marseille through the eyes of someone who loves it dearly!
