Additional Information

Experience the city as a local would, guided by their love for the place. There are no fixed routes, giving you the freedom to modify the journey or let the local guide lead the way for a deeper understanding of the city. Our walking tours aren’t about merely ticking places off a list, but about the people you encounter and the stories they share. This intimate and authentic approach to travel will shift your focus from just places to the people you come across. Lokafyers, our local guides, are enthusiasts who are excited to impart their wisdom and outlook about the city. As they’re not professional guides and only tour occasionally, the experience they provide is genuine and personal, like a friend is taking you around their city. By the end of the journey, you’ll be well-equipped to explore the city further and assured that you possess all the necessary intel to maximize your visit.

Concept in theory great, execution sadly not - Sadly this tour didn't live up to its description and our expectations. The concept sounds convincing and like a true find, also when we first received confirmation and were asked several questions by the tour operator what we were looking for on our private tour. We thought we'd be exploring Marseille from a true local's perspective, with insider tips (we specified our interests after being asked to do so) and walk off the beaten track with our tour guide. However, our tour guide seemed little prepared for 'our' tour and didn't engage much with us (I am sure he is a wonderful person, maybe it wasn't his day). I think the concept is clearly a good one but what we got on our 4-hour-walk did not convince at all.

No showed, called 15 min before to schedule for a different day - Lokafyer is a great concept with terrible execution. Having a local share their city with you works only if that person doesn't bail on you 15 minutes before the tour is supposed to start.
