What you can expect

Meet your guide in the shadow of the imposing Neo-Byzantine and Romanesque architecture of the La Major Cathedral and begin your walking adventure. Uncover the city's 2,600-year-old history through its hidden gems, historical monuments, and facinating anecdotes.

Head to the Le Panier district, one of the oldest and most charming areas in Marseille which is nestled on a hillside overlooking the Vieux Port and the Mediterranean Sea. Lose yourself in this fantastic district, marvelling at the street arts murals, the Vieille Charité hospital and the calm Windmill Hill.

At the docks, you will then learn about Marseille's rich, but also tragic history during World War II, as well as its fascinating influence let by the Roman Empire.

Venture to Vieux Port, Marseille's bustling harbour which is guarded by the Forts Saint-Jean and Saint-Nicolas. Pass by picturesque boats and yachts bobbing in the azure waters. See for why the port has been a focal point of Marseille since ancient times and remains a lively hub of maritime activity.

Stroll down the Cannebiere street and stroll by galleries, workshops, boutiques, cafés, bistros, and restaurants.

Continue to Le Pharo where you can take in views of the Palais du Pharo, a grand palace built in the mid-19th century by Emperor Napoleon III for Empress Eugénie. Admire the Roman architecture of the Abbaye Saint-Victor. Return to your meeting point with a deeper appreciation for the city of Marseille.

Your guide, Charles, is a passionate, bilingual and local guide, he will let you know everything there is to know about Marseille and more!

So don't wait, and enjoy the Pearl of the Mediterranean while learning its rich and vast history that will make you want to come back in the future to learn even more!
