Well planned and informative - We had a good time. Joe Jamali (I hope I spelt it correctly!) was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and respectful. Our family certainly enjoyed this beautiful city!

Great experience - Our cruise was delayed so they picked us up later so we didn't need to rush which was super helpful. The tour was exactly as described, it was a little rushed but you're looking at a lot of things in a short amount of time. Djilani was very nice and knowledgeable, and personable. Dropped us off downtown instead of going back to the cruise port since we said we wanted to eat lunch.

Engaging, knowledgeable and informative - I was a solo traveller in a small group, as my partner was unwell and couldn't join us. Djilani was wonderfully engaging and went out of his way to ensure I felt a part of the group. He was informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. Thanks for helping me make wonderful memories of my day in Marseille.

Wonderful Experience - We had the best experience with Djilani and this tour. Due to some health issues, we knew we only had a few hours to explore and a whole day of walking was not an option for my family. This tour allowed us to see an overview and highlights of the beautiful city. Djilani is an excellent tour guide providing the perfect amount of history and information mixed with fun. I highly recommend this tour and this organization. Communication was easy and the experience was even better than what we hoped for.

Marseille In 4 Hours - If you don’t have a lot of time this is a great way to see some of Marseille’s highlights. Our guide, Paco, was excellent and gave great historical context of early Marseille. We loved the Parc du Palais Longchamp and grabbing a bite to eat along the harbor. We did not get to see the Notre-Dame de la Garde because of a local road race that day had resulted in some road closures, though we got to see the Marseille Cathedral.
