Frédéric maintained the visit despite me being alone 🙏 he is an exciting enthusiast. Thank you for this beautiful visit!
I loved this visit to La Ciotat! The guide is passionate and tells lots of fun and informative anecdotes. The historic center is beautiful, I keep a very good memory.
Visit, full of wealth and beautiful history of France I strongly advise if you pass by Ciotat to make this visit
Nice city to do on foot with a port and sandy beaches but not very large superb coves that can be visited by boat and possible to swim but be careful the parkings are quickly full when you go there on weekends or for holidays.
A new visit to La Ciotat with Frédéric. The bet is successful again. Mixing culture and humour is an exercise that the guide has been able to lead brilliantly. Ideal for couples or families!
A guided tour of La Ciotat full of knowledge and humor. The guide is a local and he did a great job of research. Good job! Ideal for the whole family. If you are looking for a guided tour in La Ciotat you are in the right place. Thanks to you
Frédéric immerses you with passion in the history of La Ciotat. A captivating tour between anecdotes and discoveries. I highly recommend!
We didn't see the 2 hours go by! It was passionate. Frédéric is really keen on history and has a taste for sharing. It was very interesting. I recommend.
We really enjoyed this very informative visit with a guide who seemed to love La Ciotat. The “humorous” side, however, was not really there.
Do not hesitate to make this visit. Our guide was charming we did not see the past time. He told us the story of the Ciotat and we did not get the impression that he was reciting a text learned by heart.
