Overview

Discover Marseille beyond the postcard images on a private full-day experience combining walking, driving the spectacular coastal landscapes of the Bay of Marseille. Begin at the Vieux-Port, the historic heart of the city, where Marseille’s connection with the Mediterranean shaped everyday life for more than 2,600 years. Explore Le Panier, Marseille’s oldest neighbourhood, wander narrow streets & little squares, discover the layers of history, architecture & local life that give its distinctive character.

Rather than simply ticking off the sights, we take time to notice the details that make Marseille what it is, colourful street art, independent boutiques, artisans, cafés and the rhythm of everyday life.

Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched high above the city one of Marseille’s finest panoramas - sense the extraordinary scale of France’s second city, stretching from the hills to the Mediterranean. Finally the coastal route, where Marseille takes on a very different character
