Tour description

Come tour the other side of the old port with us on this cultural tour. We will see the less known part of the port, the south side.

During our two-hour tour, we will visit

  • La Cannebière and its shocking story.
  • We will go through the typical Noailles neighborhood to talk about two must-see places in the area before entering Rue St. Férreol
  • The Marseille Opera.


All this would not be complete if we did not tell you about the history of the place, mentioning, among others, the:

  • Galley Arsenal,
  • Pierre Puget
  • The particularities of Marseille soap and much more.


Having seen La Criée, we will end our tour at a panoramic point of the city, right in front of the St. Victor Abbey.

We are waiting for you!

    The guide will be waiting for you at the "Vieux Port" exit of metro 1, under the mirrored ceiling, next to the water (across the street from Burger King). Look for the light blue umbrella.

Santiago es un guía que te inspira y te promociona Marsella desde el minuto número uno. Exhaustiva y completa la información que da sobre la historia y cultura, las calles etc de Marsella...de 10! Me encanto. Me gusto mucho el tour que hizo de tarde del recorrido cultural de Marsella, aunque pasarlo a la mañana hubiera estado también muy buen. Gracias por tu ayuda y simpatía.
