Though the capital of Provence and France’s 2nd-largest city, Marseille proudly grooves to its own Mediterranean beat – a mash-up of big-city grit and small-town sociability mixed with seagull squawks and scooter engines. Bookended by limestone fjords and garrigue hills, this working-class metropolis is profoundly shaped by its seaside location and its deep ties to the rest of the Mediterranean. The port has welcomed waves of goods, immigrants, and ideas since 600 B.C. Briny, boisterous, gritty and gorgeous, Marseille is a cultural crossroads in constant flux. The latest evolution was sparked in 2013, when the city reigned as Europe’s Capital of Culture. Now, France’s least-known city is finally on the map. Let us be your guide with this food tour in Marseille.

5.00The 5.5 hours allows us to have some time for tea and coffee, and to chat with our guide and fellow travellers. Great way to immerse into local culture and to learn about other people. Good way to explore different but still yet local food culture if you are not sure how to approach the mixed culture influence in Marseille, and wish to explore outside of French food or seafood alone.

5.00Was a great day with Coco, learned a lot about the history of Marseille and ate a lot of delicious food. Highly recommend. It's a lot of walking but never too far without stopping to sit for a snack or meal. Don't eat breakfast, she arrives at the tour with pastries and first stop is coffee and croissant.
Many Michelin stars from me

5.00A special tour with a special person Séverine as our guide. We fueled our body and mind through her exquisite choice of delicacies, her knowledge and an exchange of experiences on things beyond Marseille. It's the kind of tour that I want to share with others but at the same time keep it secret
