Ombrière Reflections at Vieux-Port

Begin under the mirrored canopy with Marseille unfolding around you.

Marseille Your Way: A Personalized 4-Hour Exploration

Start beneath the Ombrière at the Vieux-Port, where boats and reflections set the tone. Some guests pause for harbor stories, others move quickly into nearby alleys to see Marseille’s rhythm begin.

Streets of Le Panier

History and color in Marseille’s oldest quarter.

Your host could guide you into Le Panier, with its painted facades, narrow lanes, and lively squares. Some guests linger over street art and craft shops, while others keep moving to feel the district’s everyday energy.

Major Cathedral or Market Life

Choose grandeur or the pulse of daily life.

You might step inside Cathédrale de la Major for striking architecture, or veer instead into a market or café nearby. Some guests prefer context and history, others enjoy tasting flavors or hearing stories over coffee.

Cours Julien or Seaside Promenade

End where Marseille feels most alive for you.

Close in the creative streets of Cours Julien, filled with murals and café chatter, or walk toward the seafront for open views. Some guests want a calm ending, others a lively one, your host makes sure it fits.

Optional Close: Vallon des Auffes

A final seaside pause in a tucked-away fishing port.

If time and mood allow, finish at Vallon des Auffes. Fishing boats sway in the water, stone arches frame the sea, and there’s space to reflect before heading back. Quiet, colorful, and distinctly Marseille.

Great experience! Jill was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience engaging and fun. We learned so much while also feeling relaxed and well taken care of.

Donna Aug 2025

The personalization of the experience was above all. Being met at our hotel, and it being just us spending the time seeing and learning about what interests us is time well spent.

Jessica Aug 2025

Emmanuel was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about the Eiffel Tower. Highly recommend!!

Jourdan Aug 2025

Hristo gave us a fantastic tour of the highlights of Paris. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fun anecdotes that really brought the city’s history to life. He was very accommodating, easy to plan with, and stayed connected in the weeks leading up to our tour. Hristo also curated the itinerary based on what we wanted to see, which made the experience feel personal and special. Friendly, professional, and a pleasure to spend the day with - highly recommend!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
