Our cruise was delayed so they picked us up later so we didn't need to rush which was super helpful. The tour was exactly as described, it was a little rushed but you're looking at a lot of things in a short amount of time. Djilani was very nice and knowledgeable, and personable. Dropped us off downtown instead of going back to the cruise port since we said we wanted to eat lunch.

If you don’t have a lot of time this is a great way to see some of Marseille’s highlights. Our guide, Paco, was excellent and gave great historical context of early Marseille. We loved the Parc du Palais Longchamp and grabbing a bite to eat along the harbor. We did not get to see the Notre-Dame de la Garde because of a local road race that day had resulted in some road closures, though we got to see the Marseille Cathedral.

It was a bit confusing as to where we had to go to meet the tour guide, eventually we met another couple also on the tour and the guide arrived. The can was comfortable and air conditioning worked well. Enjoyed the war memorial fountain and and a visit to the village at the top of the town.

The tour was great. It was a small group which I liked. Our guide Joe was able to answer many questions and provide history about the city of Marseille during each stop. He also took us to some social media worthy locations that were breath taking. I would definitely recommend for those wanting a half day tour of the city.
