ALL THE TOURS
The second largest city in France and a major Mediterranean seaport, Marseille has been a cultural melting pot since the Ancient Greeks. Its openness to the Mediterranean Sea has led to cultural and economic exchanges with many places in the world such as the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. This ancient port city witnessed especially a significant commercial boom during the colonial period in the 19th century, becoming a prosperous industrial and trading center.
And of course, food is the best way to get a taste of its history and culture! During our Marseille food tours, you’ll explore the authentic side of the city and visit places you wouldn’t normally find.

Yes! Whether you’re a morning croissant person or an evening wine-and-shared-plates type, we’ve got you covered:

More than enough. Both our tours include multiple stops and a full sit-down meal. You won’t be asking “what’s next?”—you’ll be wondering how you’re going to walk home.
-
Always. This is France, after all. Expect local and natural wines poured generously, perfectly paired with what’s on your plate—whether it’s oysters, panisses, or something baked that morning.
-
Absolutely. Our groups are small and casual, so whether you show up alone or with friends, you’ll feel like part of the crew in no time. By the second glass of wine, strangers become tablemates.

Expect buttery pastries, Provencal spreads, Mediterranean fish, artisanal cheese, rooftop sweets, and plenty of things we don’t want to spoil here.

Unfortunately, no. Marseille’s traditional cuisine leans heavily on seafood, cheese, and charcuterie. If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to reach out—we’ll let you know if we can make it work for a private tour.

Yes—Marseille is vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. Like any big city, it has a few rough edges, but if you stick to central areas like the Old Port, Le Panier, and Saint Victor (where our tours take place), it’s no more risky than Paris or Barcelona. Be street-smart, and you’ll be fine.
-
If you’re in Marseille, start with local classics: panisses (chickpea fries), anchovies in olive oil, bouillabaisse (if you’ve got time), and anything fresh from the sea. On our tours, you’ll try many of these—plus some Provençal surprises that don’t show up on most menus.
-
Not at all. Our guides speak English fluently, and many speak Spanish and Italian too. Locals appreciate a “bonjour,” but don’t stress—your guide has your back.
