Kristina was an exemplary host as we toured Marseilles. My 16-yo son and I enjoyed an historic tour tucked into many nooks and crannies we would never have otherwise found, including a tour of the gorgeous beaches, foodies adventures and a beautiful church unlike many seen before in Europe. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about Marseille, going into great depth about the historic places and significance. She is also kind hearted and a good listener.
