Things to do Welcome to Marseille: Guided Walking Tour
Discover Marseille, France’s oldest city and the vibrant gateway to the Mediterranean with Walkative guides. From its Greek beginnings over 2,600 years ago to its role as France’s great colonial port, Marseille has always been a crossroads of cultures, full of history and energy.
Our walk begins at Place du Général-de-Gaulle by the Old Port, the city’s beating heart for centuries. We’ll explore the Jardin des Vestiges archeological site, pause at the historic Hôtel de Cabre and Hôtel Dieu, then wander through the charming lanes of Le Panier, Marseille’s oldest neighborhood. Along the way, we’ll see the grand Cathédrale La Major, modern landmarks like MUCEM and the Villa Méditerranée, and finish at Fort Saint-Jean, with its sweeping views of the harbor.

“Highly recommended Thibault's tour”
Thibault, hope I spell his name right, is one of the most knowledgeable and the most well prepared walking tour guide I have encountered. Even there are two people not shown up, and I am the only one, he is still so passionate and professional in every way. A very very holistic introduction to Marseille.

“Thibaut was a great guide: the almost two ours we spent together”
Thibaut is a knowledgeable guide, "made in" Marseille, passionate about his city & skilled at presenting it in the most beautiful light.
He sent us reminders for the tour, he provided tips and tricks together with the general presentation of the city.
We had the tour on the 29th of December, in the evening, so we were lucky to have a small group, which made everything even more cosy and personal❤️

“Marseille at the sunset”
Thibault was a very good and skilled guide to introduce us to Marseille. During the 2 hour walk we learned a lot about the history of the city, so even if the afternoon was quite windy and cold it turned out to be a great experience, which I suggest to all of the people who plan to visit Marseille
