A comprehensive and lively tour of the old city of Marseille
Lubov_B, May 2024
Our tour guide Sarit was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable. We saw the oarts of the old city that we have never seen before. Of note, a visit to Notre Dame on the hilltop was not a part of the tour. However, Sarit made sure we all got on the right bus (number 60; 2 € per ticket, which is good for an hour; credit cards are accepted and very easy to use on the bus). I highly recommend the tour to any English speaking individuals and groups.
Delightful Walking Tour!

We did this tour with our guide, Sarit Zadok, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. She took us to several historical sites throughout Marseille. Sarit is very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. We stopped at a couple shoppes along the way which were extremely interesting. We highly recommend Sarit and are really happy we took this tour. Thanks!!
Great storytelling and fun walking tour

Best ever guide & private walking tour
John_R, Jan 2023
Sarit was very knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and personable. She shared her knowledge of the history of Marseille as we wandered around the Vieux Port and Old City. When the tour ended, she recommended that we take the number 60 bus up to visit Notre Dame. We would certainly recommend that you utilise Sarit for an insight into Marseille when you visit this beautiful city - you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic tour of Marseille!
John_B, Jun 2022
We had a fantastic tour of Marseille and would highly recommend. Sarit who hosts the tour was fantastic providing detailed informative information throughout. We also appreciated the flexibility on timings with our morning tour moved to the afternoon due to us having a bag delayed from our flight. This is a great tour to do when you arrive in Marseille as it helps you get your bearings and understand the best areas of the city to subsequently explore in addition to some good restaurant tips. Definitely worth taking if your are visiting Marseille. John and Vishali.
