Overview

“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.

Meeting points

We meet right in front of the Cathedral La Major's entry gate. There is big lamppost facing straight at the entry gate. I will be there, wearing a white cap.

End point

Open in Google Maps

Our journey will conclude at the very center of Marseille, right in the Old Port. This is the crossroads of Marseille, from there you can either take the bus, subway, boat, or just go on foot to any place you want to visit next!

Great Tour and Better Tour Guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

Highly recommend taking this tour with Charles. His knowledge about the history/city is unmatched. I have been coming to Marseille for years and have taken many tours in the city, still, Charles managed to show us parts of the city I’ve never experienced before. A true “local” experience. His english is flawless.
