Overview

Join this 3-hour private tour of the beautiful city of Marseille while learning about its rich history from our expert guide and enjoying the view of its highlights.

You will admire one of the most important landmarks of the city: the bustling Old Port, a recently pedestrianized area where the locals gather to take a stroll or relax while gazing at the sea.
Thanks to our guide, you will discover some of the most prominent symbols of the city, such as the Porte d’Aix, the triumphal arch that used to be the entrance to the city, and the magnificent Marseille Cathedral (La Major), one of the biggest churches ever built in the country. The tour includes a visit to the colorful old district of Le Panier, which is also home to the fabulous Vieille Charité, a marvel of 17th-century architecture.

Come and visit the enchanting Marseille, learn about its multi-faceted history, and enjoy the sea breeze on our 3-hour tour!
