Forget the tourist traps
Join me, your English-speaking local guide, for a 3-hour journey through the heart of France's oldest city, where every cobblestone has a story and every bite tells you exactly where you are.
With a small group, we'll wander through ancient streets, past Roman ruins and grand 19th-century facades, pausing to taste the flavours that have defined this port city for centuries.
What sets this food tour apart from every other in Marseille ? Simple: every single product we taste is genuinely local, sourced from Provence, from the South of France, from Marseille itself. No shortcuts, no compromise.
From street food stops to a relaxed picnic with wine and pastis, you'll leave with a full belly, a deeper understanding of Marseillais culture, and stories you'll be telling for years.
