Our tour guide, Nass, was fantastic.

Marie4690DW, Dec 2025

Our tour guide, Nass, was fantastic. He was really fun and gave a comprehensive tour. He was punctual and very responsive. His English was excellent. He also went way above and beyond the call of duty. On the morning of the scheduled tour, my friend and I were both sick from some food we ate the night before. Because he had texted us the day before, we were able to text him about our illness. Nass kindly rescheduled the tour for two days later. He was so nice. We could not more highly recommend this tour.

Unmissable experience

We highly recommend Nass.

Fun and interesting tour

Bernhard_S, Sep 2025

Was a very interesting tour of Marseille. Due to the very charming guided tour by our guide Nass with very good explanations of the main sights, it was a very successful tour that was really fun. Due to built-in stops, the tour was easy to handle despite the long distance. The personal tips on suitable restaurants near our hotel and other attractions in the Marseille area were also particularly helpful.

Can fully recommend the tour.

While walking, we learned a wide range of things about the history, culture, and life of the local people of Marseille, and were introduced to some hidden places and trivia. The guides were good at many languages and Japanese, and they were always smiling and had fun talking. Thank you very much.

Great discovery!

His funny and exciting anecdotes make the walk come alive, and his passion for Marseille is communicative.
