Medhi 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!

Everything 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

We 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
