We lost our ticket and they happily replaced it as I was able to prove I had purchased them via Het Your Guide. We did have a hard time downloading the audible portion. Headphones are not available at this port. Very pretty scenery and once we were able to download the audible bit it was very informative.

Charles was an exceptional guide, who showed us the true soul of Marseille by telling us the history, showing us the iconic places and transmitting the curiosities and anecdotes, with so much kindness, availability and sympathy. the morning flew by.

Overall I was pleased with the tour. Since our group was so small, my only recommendation would be for an opportunity to stop and shop at one or two places along the way.

Great to learn about the history of Marseille, friendly and easy to talk to guide. He accommodated both French and English speakers very well. Lovely sites of Marseille

It was informative and I lived that we walked around many neighborhoods to see how the locals lived as well as the amazing history.
