Additional Information
Our culinary journey through Marseille involves a walking expedition around the city’s historical core. The traveler is accompanied by a ‘Foodie’, a local guide equipped with knowledge about every nuance of the chosen restaurants, their culinary techniques, and pertinent historical facts/interests. Do Eat Better tours are a blend of top-tier gastronomy, which serves to exhibit French culture and lifestyle, and a walking experience led by a local acquaintance. This is why we limit our tours to small groups only: we aim to cultivate a genuine dialogue and to give each traveler our utmost attention.

Our family of 6 really got a great insight into Marseilles. The tour enables one to experience the city architecture, history, and culture, all while enjoying the local cuisine and the tasty wines, all of which are included! Great value and highly recommend Ines!

Surpassed my expectations! - This food tour surpassed our expectations. My husband and I thought we’d go to a couple of places, sample some food, and leave, but Inga made this tour personal, fun, and memorable. It was clear how passionate she was, and it was made even better through her rapport with the restauranteurs, who greeted us all so warmly and were excited to walk us through their dishes. Each location was off the beaten path, and we sampled things we definitely would have never opted for ourselves.
Highly recommend. Thank you Inga for a great time!
