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!
Don’t hesitate! Book now.

5.00Amazing and flexible tour. It was fun to take the metro, the trama and then the bus to move around town. It is enough to give you a view of Marseille and then go back on your own to further explore. Our guide was well educated and excited to share the insight and history of this beautiful city. He also made some amazingly great restaurant recommendations and other activities to do in the upcoming days.
Learn all about Marseille from a local!

5.00If you want to learn more about the city, its history, and its different neighborhoods- highly recommend this tour. Medhi was born in Marseille and has lived here for over 30 years. He did a great job of explaining the history of all the different sites we visited along with details about day to day life as a resident. Very outgoing and extremely helpful- he gave us recs for restaurants and other things to do. Highly recommend!
