Tour Description

Make the most out of your stay in Marseille with this 5-hour guided tour!

Thanks to our top-rated guide, you will explore the “Phocean City” and its highlights, such as Le Panier, the vibrant old district decorated with colorful street art. While you stroll through its narrow alleys you will also learn all the secrets of the Vieille Charité. Originally an almshouse, as of today it is a jewel of the 17th century Baroque architecture and home to a cultural center.

Then, you will step into the great Marseille Cathedral (“La Major”) and admire its characteristic blend of Roman and Byzantine styles. Our tour also includes a visit to Notre-Dame de la Garde, a treat for history enthusiasts, and two other religious buildings: the Church of Saint Ferreol, originally owned by the Knights Templar Order, as well as the Abbey of Saint Victor. Ask our guide about the story of the martyr Saint Victor, whose remains are said to be buried in the abbey.

Lastly, follow our guide on a pleasant walk on the Old Port, the true beating heart of the city. Located at the end of the Canebière, the main street of Marseille, the port has its origins in the activity of ancient Greek settlers. As of today, its the preferred gathering place for both tourists and locals, thanks to the many restaurants and shops that surround it.

Breathe in the fresh sea breeze and admire the breathtaking scenery of the oldest city in France!
