5.00Nas led us on a fantastic tour of Marseille, diving into the history and culture of this unique and beautiful part of France. We saw and learned about important buildings and locations in the old city. We also experienced local life and tastes. Nas loves his city and we came to love it, too. I recommend this tour to anyone who desires to experience the real Marseille.
Highly recommend

5.00We met our guide, Nas, around 10:00 am for a tour of Marseille on foot. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed the morning. NAS showed us the old part of town and gave us great information on the history of the area without too much detail so we moved along fairly quickly. We enjoyed the chocolate shop and the Marseille macaron shop. This company will provide most any type of tour. They have transportation in case you want to visit another city close by. We were on a cruise ship so we wanted a tour less than 3 hours. Highly recommend.
A peaceful, sunny, and charming tour!

5.00Our tour guide, Nass, was fantastic. He was really fun and gave a comprehensive tour. He was punctual and very responsive. His English was excellent. He also went way above and beyond the call of duty. On the morning of the scheduled tour, my friend and I were both sick from some food we ate the night before. Because he had texted us the day before, we were able to text him about our illness. Nass kindly rescheduled the tour for two days later. He was so nice. We could not more highly recommend this tour.
Unmissable experience

5.00Was a very interesting tour of Marseille. Due to the very charming guided tour by our guide Nass with very good explanations of the main sights, it was a very successful tour that was really fun. Due to built-in stops, the tour was easy to handle despite the long distance. The personal tips on suitable restaurants near our hotel and other attractions in the Marseille area were also particularly helpful. Can fully recommend the tour.

5.00While walking, we learned a wide range of things about the history, culture, and life of the local people of Marseille, and were introduced to some hidden places and trivia. The guides were good at many languages and Japanese, and they were always smiling and had fun talking. Thank you very much.
