Additional Information
Our culinary journey through Marseille involves a walking expedition around the city’s historical core. The traveler is accompanied by a ‘Foodie’, a local guide equipped with knowledge about every nuance of the chosen restaurants, their culinary techniques, and pertinent historical facts/interests. Do Eat Better tours are a blend of top-tier gastronomy, which serves to exhibit French culture and lifestyle, and a walking experience led by a local acquaintance. This is why we limit our tours to small groups only: we aim to cultivate a genuine dialogue and to give each traveler our utmost attention.

Fabulous Food Tour with Inga - We thoroughly enjoyed this food tour around Marseille with Inga. She told us some interesting stories and took us to a wide variety of food venues that we would never have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour!

A great experience - Super guide (Inga), who showed us some great little restaurants off the tourist track. The food was local and very good, so good that we returned to one of these restaurants for another meal. Communication before and after the tour was excellent, with the rendez-vous site clearly explained and a photo of your guide sent beforehand. Very enjoyable experience.

Very enjoyable tour - Our guide, Inga, was amazing. She was friendly, enthusiastic and although we are fluent French speakers, no problem if you’re not as she is actually originally from Scotland. She introduced us to a couple of areas of the city that we would not have thought to visit otherwise. The tour includes 5 tastings at different restaurants/bars, and every delicious dish was very typical of this city. In fact we were so impressed by the food offered that we went back to one of the restaurants for a meal that same evening.
Communication was excellent, both as regards the meeting arrangements and the tour itself, with a printed voucher showing rendez-vous point plus phone message with a photo of the guide. Highly recommended

Variety is good - Food tour was a nice walk thru the old port area. Inga, our guide, introduced us to the owners of the restaurants who enjoyed telling us about their food and drink. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot cheese , charcuterie, and pastis. The traditional meal with cod was served at one of the oldest brasseries. We ate indoors as well as outdoors. A nice variety of tastes and venues.

Food tour of old port of Marseille - Our guide, Inga, brought to life the food and history of the area. With her background of cooking and catering we were able to converse with her about different foods and local restaurants. She recommended Les Arcenaulz which ended up being one of the best meals on our trip. Because she knows the restaurant owners that you visit you get more than just food put in front of you. There is background and purpose to the meal. An easy two hour walk with stops. A must do.

Delightful tour of local cuisine! - My sister and I joined Inga’s small group for this wonderful food tour. We were sailing on MSC Fantasia.
The stops were carefully picked and the establishments seemed happy we were there.
Inga shared delightful information about the area and was very knowledgeable. The price was good for all that we received during the tour.
I highly recommend this tour.
