5 tours · €25–€50 per person · ★ 4.9
A walking tour of Marseille starts at the Vieux Port and climbs into the old town, and the 5 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €25 per person for a guided visit that moves between neighbourhoods on public transport, tickets included, to €50 for a half day with a bilingual local guide who sends personal recommendations afterwards. Between them sit the classic guided tour of the old port and old city and a shorter walk past the main sights, in groups capped between six and fifteen, with English on every tour.
A quick way to choose: match the length to your day, because the two hour walks cover the centre while the four hour version keeps a pace the operator does not recommend in pregnancy or past seventy. Lunch, water and tips are not in the price, strollers are welcome on the port walks, and the guided walks of Marseille meet in the centre, not at your hotel.
