5.00Medhi was knowledgeable, pleasant, easygoing and efficient. His chosen itinerary gave us a good impression of Marseille, it’s monuments and history- as well as including practical informations about shopping, restaurants and public transportation (we moved around by bus and tram). Highly recommended and very good value!
Great tour for a laid back overview of the city.

5.00Mehdi was laid-back and personable. He tailored the visit to the group that was present, and was happy to answer all our questions. Using the public transit system was a great way to get to know the city on a local level.
Great intro to iconic sites of Marseille

5.00Everything about the tour was excellent. We were coming from the cruise port, and the meeting point was a short taxi ride to the town center. Medhi was very patient with us while taking pictures and answering all our questions. I like that he explained and told us the history of each site we visited. We enjoyed our tour, and the experience surpassed our expectations. I also enjoyed riding the public transportation in Marseille, which added to the authenticity of the whole experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marseille for the first time.
Knowledgeable local tour

5.00We had a great experience with Medhi. He was at the meeting place on time and happily greeted us. He maneuvered us around Marseille to the sites we wanted to see using public transportation which was exciting. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.
A pleasant morning

5.00The tour with Medhi was one of our favorite family experiences in France! We had tickets for the Olympics, but hadn’t booked any other activities. I read the glowing reviews here and decided to book this tour the day before we arrived. He was so great with our kids! It was a hot day (as expected) so my kids (8 and 6) weren’t the most energetic. He was a wealth of knowledge about Marseilles and France. We saw Notre Dame cathedral, Marseille cathedral, old Marseille, and the fountains. He gave us restaurant recommendations near our aparthotel, recommended a local beach, and other activities for our family. He spoke perfect English with us, but also speaks Spanish. We traveled by bus, tram, and subway. He had tickets for us ready for our tour. He also helped us navigate how to get to the stadium for the Olympic game the next day. He really went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome (and safe) in Marseille. We highly recommend him!
