Más allá de la bullabesa: sumergirse en el estofado multicultural de Marsella

We enjoyed the walk around Marseille with a very charming and knowledgeable guide. It was interesting hearing about the citys history, both old and new, through the food. This was our second food tour with Culinary Backstreets and both were fantastic as an introduction to the city. A big factor in choosing our next travel destination is whether Culinary Backstreets offers a tour there. Next up: Madrid.

Absolutely the best introduction to Marseille! The perfect mix of food and what Marseille is all about. I would recommend this to every one visiting the city for the fist time. We revisited a lot of the places, simply because they were little hidden gems of the city.

Outstanding. Our guide was wonderful - full fo stories and on great terms with all the shopkeepers and restaurants. It was a fabulous experience.

Culinary Backstreets are the industry standard for us and, once again, they did not disappoint. This was an in-depth, authentic, gritty, thoughtfully selected lineup of eateries. Severine was a considerate and knowledgeable guide. We will keep doing CBs tours because they set the benchmark high.

The tour was fantastic way be introduced to the city. Coco was such a warm and delightful guide - She did a great job sharing her wonderful connection to her city and her community, and was very adaptive to our pace.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Marseilles. We visited a fair amount of little hole in the wall type places that you might otherwise miss. We were treated to many small tastings and a larger lunch at a cool seafood place run by a former fisherman. We also visited some amazing food stores where I purchased some things I wouldn’t be able to find where I live. The guide even explained some of the graffiti murals on the walls which are everywhere. The whole tour took place in the heat of the day (95 degrees) and lasted about five hours, which we thought was a little too much.

Fantastic experience, made us love Marseille even more, and made us want to come back…soon!. All the food was incredible and eclectic. Our guide, Chloe, was fantastic: so knowledgeable and interesting and lovely! It was worth every penny and we would strongly recommend this tour as a way to get to know a city a little better.

Florence was a wonderful guide - patient, knowledgeable and super friendly. She accommodated the vegetarians in our group so well and helped us deal with the terrible heat! We went to some out of the way food places which told a different story of Marseille. She also gave us great local recommendations and had insight into Marseille history and culture. Would definitely recommend.

This was our fourth tour with Culinary Backstreets, and once again, it was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect: the meeting point, the length of the tour, the size of the group, and the variety of food and venues (shops, restaurants, food trucks, cafés, bakeries, and a bar). We discovered local specialties as well as many delicious dishes from the city's immigrant communities. A special thanks to our guide, Coco, who was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the food but also about the history and the economic and social context of Marseille in general, and of the neighborhood we visited in particular. Coco was friendly, lively, and always eager to answer all our questions (and we had many!). She was also very generous with her time. As with our previous Culinary Backstreets tours, this one was excellent value for money and absolutely worth the price. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Culinary Backstreets to anyone looking for an authentic food experience, and this Marseille tour is no exception. Merci beaucoup, Coco!

Severine was wonderful. She's very good with the history of Marseilles. My only comokaint would be that it was too hot for it to last so long.
