“The best way to know a city is to walk it.” Simone de Beauvoir, renowned French writer, was right.
And it is especially true for Marseille.
Marseille is unique, a city with 100 personnalities, an oxymoron where calm and noise live together in a chaotic harmony.
The oldest city in France, 2600 years old, still has a young beating heart, and the best way to feel it is to simply walk on it.
On this tour of 8 people maximum, you'll experience and discover, with a local, passionate and bilingual guide, what makes Marseille, Marseille.
We will wander through the small and only walkable streets of Le Panier, learn about Marseille's rich history one monument after the other. We will climb to Notre Dame de la Garde, overlooking the panoramic view of the city, see hidden gems that can be only seen on foot, lose ourselves in Le Roucas Blanc, and go back in time visiting the little fishing port of Le Vallon des Auffes.
And so, so much more.
Join us exploring this southern treasure.

Brilliant guided walking tour on our first day in Marseille. Charles, our guide, made contact before the tour, sending us precise meeting arrangements, even including an aerial shot of the meeting point. The tour was great fun, really interesting and gave us excellent insight into both the history of the city and modern day life in Marseille. There was even a follow up email on recommended local dining options which led to our best meal in Marseille. Highly recommended.

We had A wonderful experience with Charles. He was very knowledgeable and we appreciated all the information he gave about the history of marseille. We loved that he showed us what the city looked like before and the current state..
The tour required a significant amount of walking. But we did visit very interesting sites. I would suggest that anybody taking this tour be ready to walk about 13,000 steps

Charles is a very welcoming, empathetic guide (he was worried about me because I was wearing CROCS sandals instead of sneakers or walking shoes). with humor and kindness, he knows how to captivate the group's attention with relevant questions, incredible anecdotes about certain districts of Marseille by crossing unusual streets or taking surprising shortcuts!
Advice: be a good walker and be well equipped with good walking shoes because in places it’s hard to climb!

Charles is the absolute best! He is so knowledgeable about the history of Marseille. It was a great learning experience for me and my daughter. He is so polite and easy to communicate with and he is genuinely interested in learning about those he is taking on the tour as well. I would recommend him to anyone!

I had a great time with Charles and he is passionate, enthusiastic and has great knowledge/fun facts of Marseille.
The tour was great and I've seen the highlights of Marseille in one day. In the end, Charles sent a list of great recommendations I will visit/try in the next few days.
The walking part was not as bad as I had expected, and I managed to get some great pics taken (the weather was also absolutely amazing today!).
P.S. He also speaks perfect English in case anyone is concerned.

This was an excellent tour. I got lost on the way (totally my error) and messaging Charles he immediately responded and tried to help all he could. I managed to find the group at the 2nd stop and he couldn't have been kinder. The tour was fascinating and beautiful. Some great viewpoints and interesting info. He also let us stop for takeaway coffee and croissants even though we overran into his time. Really lovely knowledgable guide. Thank you Charles for your kindness.
