This was an excellent tour. Charles is very knowledgeable in the ancient and modern history of marseille, and combines this with a fantastic tour of historical and beautiful locations. This is a small group tour which makes it easy to ask questions and build a rapport with others on the tour. Charles also gave plenty of advice on other things to see and do in marseille, which we really appreciated and enjoyed.

We had a blast! Our guide made sure we were able to get great photos of the sunset. We were able to take a dip in the water. It was dark and a little chilly for me but that didn’t stop others. We shared a delicious meal and good wine. Just a good vibe with nice ppl.

Guide was very knowledgeable and allowed us to tailor the hike to our comfort level. I'm glad I booked this hike and would definitely go again!

Beautiful view of the city, harbor, and Mediterranean. Great boat ride and the swimming was an absolute must!

It was cloudy but we had a good time, so entertaining with the guide and we saw beautiful places
