Christophe is a great guide
"We started in Cours Julien and ended in Fort Saint-Jean. Christophe showed us many points of interest from the spot voted “coolest place on the planet” by Instagram users to the ancient fort on the harbour via an art installation on a deconsecrated church and a fence festooned with the bras of Cheeto g spouses. Highly recommended!"

Best Afternoon in Marseille
"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Naguib walking through Le Panier and Noailles! He is very knowledgeable about both the history of Marseille and the current social environment. He’s welcoming and accommodating and introduced us to areas and treats we definitely would have missed on our own. My husband and I can’t recommend him enough. Next time we are here we hope he’s available!"

Fun time had by all!
"My husband, 22 year old daughter and I met Iseult for a Street Art tour in Marseille. The 3 of us making a tricky group, husband has lots of questions, daughter doesn’t like to walk much, so the story goes! Iseult was warm, welcoming and flexibility from the start. She did a great job of engaging us in tour, asking us questions, proving our thoughts and opinions about what we’re were seeing, learning. We weren’t in “listen” mode for 2 hours. My daughter even forgot she was walking around for 2 hours! She was knowledge about the topic, and candid when she didn’t have a specific answer to our question which I really appreciated. No one can no everything about a dynamic, ever changing art form like street art, graffiti.
At the end of the tour she helped us find a great lunch spot and gave us other helpful recommendations.
We would book her again!

Under the surface of Marseille
"Anthony gave us a thoughtful and nuanced perspective that wove together a deep understanding of the unique vibrant energy of Marseille. In explaining the street art and history of Mucem, the tour offered a deeper understanding of the diversity and inclusiveness that is so special to Marseille. "

Brilliant experience - loved it
"We had a fantastic tour - Naguib was well- informed, considered guide who showed us around places that we probably wouldn’t have gone to. He really brought it to life for us and was able to explain the art to complete novices. Would certainly recommend to anyone who is in Marseille "
"Jean-Marc nous a éduqué sur l’histoire passée et présente de Marseille pendant une visite de son quartier, la Corniche. À chaque tournant, une anecdote ou un détail nous attends afin de bien nous imprégné de la culture, politique ou coutume des Marseillais.
Nous avons passé une avant-midi très plaisante avec une mise en forme des mollets. "
