We were lucky to find Jean-Marc, he took us to find hidden gems accessed rarely by tourists which were truly breathtaking. The sea was amazingly clear and the streets were beautiful. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore some of Marseilles, with a guide well versed in anything you pass or questions you have. Thank you Jean-Marc!
