Camembert for the win❤️ - We love to do food tours when we travel, such a great way to learn about local culture and try food you might normally miss. This food tour did not disappoint. Inga was an amazing host with a wealth of local knowledge and a lovely sense of humor. Every dish we tried we was gorgeous but the stand out for us was the baked Camembert - like a cheese fondue but next level! A fab experience and we would highly recommend - especially if you’re lucky enough to get Inga as your guide❤️

Excellent food tour - This was a very interesting tour with a good mixture of good food, drinks ( wine and pastis) and history of the location. We very much enjoyed Simone’s selections and explanations of the culinary delights. The last leg which included local sweet meats was superb! Thank you Simone

Food, Fun and Nibbles - My daughter and I took part in this tour with Catalina. Loved everything about it. There were eight guests in the tour and had good food and interesting conversation. Catalina made the tour fun and a bit educational. Kept everyone included. The stops she took us to served varied bites which were all delicious.
I highly recommend this tour and this guide for anyone wanting to sample Marseille food and spend an enjoyable few hours visiting some hidden gems.

Excellent different types of food tour be able to sample the local delicacies. - This was an excellent food tour. Alessandra was an excellent guide and took us to 5 different types of places to try the local food in Marseille. She was very helpful providing information about the history of Marseille and how it was incorporated in the cuisine. If you have a chance, definitely book this tour.

Great Food Tour and Sampling! - Our tour guide was Inga and she was phenomenal! We had two little ones with us and she was very accommodating. She was also very knowledgeable about the history of France and we appreciated the extra detail. It was evident she has a great relationship with the restaurants and we felt welcomed. Food variety was great, especially the charcuterie and cheese place! She even served us the food, which was not expected but a nice touch!

A Highlight of Our Trip to Marseille – Sophie Is Exceptional! - We had a fantastic experience on our food and history tour of Marseille with Sophie as our guide. She took us to several hidden culinary gems around the Vieux Port that we never would have found on our own. The food was delicious and authentic, and each stop was paired with fascinating stories about the history and culture of Marseille.
Sophie’s English was excellent, and she made everyone feel welcome and at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and kind — the perfect guide for our group. We also appreciated the extra time she took to recommend other places to visit during our time in Provence.
The group we were with added to the fun, but Sophie was the reason the tour stood out. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering a food tour in Marseille — it was a highlight of our trip!

Amazing experience! - We were lucky enough to have Sophie as our tour guide, and it truly made the experience unforgettable. As the only ones booked that day, we enjoyed a completely personalized tour. Sophie was an absolute delight — she shared the rich history of Marseille with passion and took us to some incredible food spots we would have never found on our own. It was the perfect experience for two food lovers like us. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Getting into the local cuisine of Aix-en-Provence - Inga was wonderful, so friendly, and knowledgeable. Being a private chef herself, I thought she offered a unique perspective on the local cuisine. The food offereings were more than I could eat so the offerings were kindly packed up for me to take back to the hotel. I felt we were pulled into the local culture as Inga manuvered through the crowds in the street, being frequently pulled aside for greetings from people who knew her on the street and in the restaurants. This is a fun and enlightening tour, well worth the money! I highly recommend this tour if you are in the Aix-en-Provence area.

Tasting in Marseille - This tour was good if you want a little history and guidance around the city that includes food. We ended up with basically a private tour as it was just my husband and I. Our guide was very friendly and sweet, but we did have a big of an issue understanding her accent. Probably more our issue, but we just don't speak French. The food was good, but for the amount of the tour, we feel we could have used Tripadvisor to pick a really nice place for lunch and had a better meal. But we would not have seen any of the city.
