    This food tour was one of the highlights of our time in Marseille! Marine, our excellent guide, took us on a flavorful and engaging journey through the Old Town, especially the vibrant and multicultural Noailles district. Walking through its lively streets, filled with colors and scents from around the world, was an experience in itself. Midway through the tour, we were treated to a stop on a rooftop with absolutely breathtaking views over the city — a magical pause that gave us a new perspective on Marseille, both literally and culturally. The food was outstanding throughout: a perfectly curated mix of local specialties and international influences, with high-quality ingredients and great variety. Every stop brought something different and delicious. Marine’s knowledge, warmth, and storytelling made the whole experience feel personal and enriching. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Marseille through its food, stories, and hidden gems!

Along the way, Rocio shared fascinating stories about the old town, including stops at a centuries-old pharmacy and one of France’s oldest hardware stores.

    Great experience from the coffee and croissants in the beginning to the bistro samples with a glass of wine at the end. Our guide Rocio was friendly and informative. We were introduced to Ricard Pastis and a beautiful rooftop lunch with a view of the city. We visited small shops with Mediterranean themed foods and goods. Additionally Rocio provided us with some of Marseille’s history food related and in general. I definitely recommend this tour.

    What to expect

    Marseille’s old town is raw, colorful, and full of stories. You’ll walk through its narrow alleys, past spice stalls and old stone façades, tasting your way through a part of the city that still feels deeply lived-in. We start sweet and simple: breakfast at a historic pâtisserie that’s been shaping local pastries for generations. Expect flaky, buttery classics and a few unexpected favorites, all made from scratch. We then take it up a notch- literally. A rooftop stop with a glass of local nectar in hand and a view that makes the whole city make sense. As you wander deeper into the old city, you'll be surrounded by the smells and spices of the entire Mediterranean Sea. We wrap up with a spread of local food - honest bites that Marseille has been perfecting and a degustation of rosé finishing with the delicate flavors of Provence backcountry. You’ll taste 7 different Provençal dishes.
