Description

Discover Marseille, France’s oldest city and the vibrant gateway to the Mediterranean with Walkative guides. From its Greek beginnings over 2,600 years ago to its role as France’s great colonial port, Marseille has always been a crossroads of cultures, full of history and energy.

Our walk begins at Place du Général-de-Gaulle by the Old Port, the city’s beating heart for centuries. We’ll explore the Jardin des Vestiges archeological site, pause at the historic Hôtel de Cabre and Hôtel Dieu, then wander through the charming lanes of Le Panier, Marseille’s oldest neighborhood. Along the way, we’ll see the grand Cathédrale La Major, modern landmarks like MUCEM and the Villa Méditerranée, and finish at Fort Saint-Jean, with its sweeping views of the harbor.

Excellent tour!

We had Tibo (hope I’m writing it correct) as a tour guide. Must say we we’re amazed by his preparation regarding the guide and presentation. He had a yellow map full of information and pictures to show how the old buildings used to be and stand in Marseille. Together with information about all the changes that took place in history. If you like history, architecture or would like a good tour from the Old part of Marseille, we recommend taking this one with Tibo. He was amazing!

Discover the city through the eyes of a true local

We met Romain a few hours after our arrival to Marsella, and it was the best way to discover the city! As a true local, he shared with us the story, daily life and secrets of the city, all through a curated walk. Definitely one of the bests walking tours we ever did!
