Excellente visite

Nous avons passé un agréable moment avec Antoine. Nous étions un tout petit groupe, il connaît bien son sujet, passionné de Marseille. On a appris pleins de choses et on a aussi bien rigolé ! Nous recommandons vivement une visite guidée avec Antoine !

Great Tour

Fab 2 hour introduction to Marseille. Went to lots of places we would never have found independently and Antoine was very informative about the local area, spoke excellent english and would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back

Très bonne experience

Nous avons fait le tour avec Antoine et c était super, nous étions en famille avec un chien et Antoine nous a baladé et raconté avec passion la ville de Marseille du vieux port au panier jusqu’au Mucem. Nous avons aimé son enthousiasme et les histoires qu’il nous racontait. Nous recommandons vivement ce tour!
