"We booked a private tour and were completely blown away. Édouard was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly well-connected — he seemed to know everyone in town! We loved the blend of Franglais throughout the day (I speak more French than my husband, which added to the fun), and every stop felt like a hidden gem.
Highlights included the most delicious madeleines from Christophe (no line!), unforgettable nougat, cashews from Monsieur Praliné, honey, local confitures, lavender soap, and the best calissons we’ve ever tasted. Lunch at Les Gallinas was outstanding — the lamb tripe was a surprising standout — and we left with a full doggy bag and full hearts.
Édouard added just the right amount of local history and charm to make the day feel both relaxed and enriching. We truly felt like we made a new friend. Highly recommend Édouard and Withlocals for a personalized, delicious, and memorable experience in Aix!"
"One of our most favorite things, upon coming to a new city or place, is immersing ourselves and getting to know locals in the area.
Anthony did not disappoint! He took us to many of the local hot spots, taught us so much about Marseille, and even more so... informed us about the culture and diversity. It was an experience we won't forget.
This is a tour and experience to be recommended for sure! One we not ever forget. Thank you, Anthony for such an amazing time exploring your city!"

Passionate About Au Panier
"Naguib is a graduate student, and he provided a wonderful tour of the Au Panier district. He also took us to Basilica of Notre-Dame-of-la-Garde and gave us a small taste of the more commercial part of Marseille. He spent much more time with us than he was obligated. In Au Panier, the restaurant and food establishment owners/staff were all very happy to see him. and the food in every place was outstanding. Definitely use Naguib if you want to get a great feel for the old Marseille."
"We had a memorable afternoon food tour with Ted. ❤️ You can see he has great relationships with all the purveyors based on how they greet each other. 🙌 He is super knowledgeable about Aix and very personable. I highly recommend a tour with Ted Aix. You won’t be disappointed. "

Superb Culinary and Cultural Tour
"A great way to experience the local cuisine and learn about Marseilles. All the purveyors we visited with gave us a warm welcome thanks to Iseult. She customized based on our requests and we had a thoroughly delicious time. Highly recommended. "
"Naguib was wonderful. He is knowledgeable, easy going and fun. Hearing his perspectives on Marseille, learning a little about the nearby neighborhoods, having the chance to taste delicious food and see some of the amazing street art were a wonderful start to our visit and increased our appreciation of Marseille. We highly recommend him as a guide."
"We really enjoyed our food tour with Iseult. She tailored our visits to our tastes and provided historical information on Marseilles as we walked around. Iseult's bubbly personality made it even more fun. Highly recommend her."
"Thanks Naguib for an informative, enlightening and of course tasty few hours! We really enjoyed the combination of street art among our many tastings, and could not come close to finishing our meal at the end. Luckily Naguib could arrange some takeaway boxes for us 👌 it was extremely busy in Marseille due to the rugby World Cup but Naguib could find solutions - thank you and good luck with your studies! "

Fantastic Tour
"Naguib’s enthusiasm for food was infectious! Marseille is a melting pot of different cultures and I felt that the tour captured the city’s essence. We’ve tasted everything from unbearably delicious traditional Provence cuisine to amazing Middle Eastern dishes and deserts. Naguib’s very engaging and a pleasure to spend time with. I could not have wished for a better guide or a better tour."
