Marseille Cultural Free Tour
♡ Save
Join us to discover the less visited side of the port, the south side of the Old Port of Marseille. Between history, monuments and unmissable views, you will see an authentic and unknown part of the city.
Come with us to see the other side of the old port on this cultural tour. We will see the less known part of the port, the south side.
During our two-hour tour, we will visit the Cannebière and its impressive history. We will pass through the typical Noailles district to tell you about two must-see places before entering the Rue St. Férreol and seeing the Marseille Opera House.
All this would not be complete if we do not tell you about the history of the place, mentioning, among others, the Arsenal of Galeras, Pierre Puget, the particularities of Marseille soap and much more.
Having seen La Criée, we will end our tour at a panoramic point of the city, just in front of the St. Victor abbey.
We look forward to seeing you!
