“We loved the tour. Joris is an amazing ambassador for the city. His enthusiasm for Marseille and for the food that represents the cultural diversity of Marseille is infectious. He was a patient and thoughtful host. It was a lot of food: although some of the stops were truly just "tastings", at other stops we couldn't finish all the food. It was a great tour for our family of 4, we had a lot to discuss, regarding the food and the neighborhoods and we enjoyed chating with the other 3 people on the tour as well. There is a good amount of walking which we also really enjoyed.”
