"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!"

See the hidden side of Marseille
"This was a delightful tour showing both street art and the hidden gems. Well worth the experience."
"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!

"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. "

Amazing
"We had a art street tour with Paul, and he was very helpful in explaining us about the history of the street art, while also being super engaging. He also took us to some food spots, the local markets, and many of his favorite streets which was filled was art, which we enjoyed. Super informative throughout the tour, l highly recommend booking with Paul! "

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 "
"Eine spannende und abwechslungsreiche Tour durch das südliche Marseille mit tollen Einblicken in Malmousque, kleine Häfen, den Parc Valmer und fantastische Ausblicke auf Stadt und Meer. Durch enge Gassen und viele Treppen wurde die Tour auch zum kleinen Fitnessprogramm. Neben interessanten historischen, botanischen und geografischen Infos gab es viele wertvolle Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants. Der Abschluss im Restaurant Da Marco am Strand des Propheten war perfekt. Vielen Dank für die tolle Tour Jean-Marc!"
