Amazing tour guide - What was supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour tour turned into 4 hours. Ines the tour guide was very thorough and full of information. Being a vegetarian, she made sure their were options everywhere we stopped. She took time to get to know all the members of the tour and afterwards she sent a note with her favorite things in Marseille. It was a very pleasant afternoon strolling through Marseille and tasting cheese, wine, cookies, deserts, more cheese and wine.

good for friends and familes - Inga was a lovely guide that treated us like friends and family and not a job. While I understand that the guide is likely required to keep some distance, socially (versus because of COVID protocols or something), it would have been delightful for her to join us during the food tasting to chat and do a compare and contrast of a local (guide) and a visitor (us).

Just average - The city was great. Would have preferred our guide join us and talk more about the city and food rather than wait outside.

Scam! Scam and… SCAM! - This tour was incredibly disappointing and inaccurate. Despite all the positive reviews, it fell far short of expectations. The three local restaurants we visited were all subpar, catering more to tourists than offering authentic culinary experiences. The food selections were lackluster and uninspired, leaving us feeling like we could have found better options just by exploring Marseille on our own. It was not only a waste of money but also a significant waste of time, leaving us with a negative impression of the city.
The only redeeming aspect of the tour was our guide, Inga. She went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and cared for. Her warm personality and attentive nature helped salvage an otherwise dismal experience. I would not recommend booking this tour unless you're content with tasting mediocrity.
