Elizabeth was an absolutely delightful guide. She is knowledgeable, funny, and down for a good time. We tried 11 or 12 different sweet treats and had an excellent time walking between stops. Highly recommend this tour.

    This was a great tour....

    James_C, Sep 2025
    This was a great tour. The guide took us around to experience pastries and chocolates and gelatos. The guide packed in as much as she could with the time we had with her. Would very much recommend this tour.

    Merci again for this fun experience. I also had an excellent time with your company.

    The background...

    Pamela_M, Nov 2024
    The background information on all of the chocolate and pastries we tasted was great. The flavors were good as well. The guide was very knowable and enthusiastic. The only negative was it felt a bit rushed with little time to savor.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    I am very happy you enjoyed the tour and learnt interesting things about French pastries. The guide really wanted to make you enjoy the experience in its entirety.

    AWESOME

    Elizabeth was the best tour guide. She had the best friendly personality. Always smiling laughing and making us feel so welcome and comfortable. We have told everyone of experience. She is the best

    Thank you so much for this very nice review that is alway a pleasure to read. Thanks for your enthusiasm and your desire to know more about French culture. Hope you will keep good memories of your family cruise and your stop in Marseille for a long time !

    Very disappointing no show and no Viator follow-up

    ChristineD_B, Aug 2024
    Tour guide never showed up. We waited 20 minutes. Called Viator; tour guide was not reachable by them. They promised 100% refund with email confirmation. Two days later, no email and I need to call for my refund.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    I am very sorry for what happened and as you can see it is absolutely not representative of this experience as this has never occurred in the past. Apparently from what you presented you never received the cancellation of your booking. In fact delays were too short to organize at last minute such an experience during this busy summer date. Viator garanteed me that they refunded you right away but the refund just needed a little time to arrive to your bank account... I hope that despite of this inconvenience you enjoyed your trip in Marseille and had a good time with your family.

    We loved it!

    Debbie_J, Aug 2024
    Our guide was excellent! She took us to some of the most exquisite and local pastry and candy shops. We ended with an unbelievable view of the city. Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review of our Pastries and Chocolate tour. We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our guide and that the tour met your expectations. Best regards.

    Expensive but worth it

    Lesly_G, Jul 2024
    This ended up being a private tour and our guide, Elizabeth, was excellent. We stopped at 6 or 7 places for tastings, and our guide added an extra impromptu stop for my daughter who loves crepes! Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    We really appreciate your review. There is no better way to celebrate Bastille day than enjoying a French croissant and some delicious crêpes :-). I am sure they were better than in the French Disney restaurant where you had them for the first time :-).

    Nice tour

    yayitsck, May 2024
    Our guide was very kind and informative and the food was all great, however we feel for the price that we should have had more food. We all had to split between us a small amount of food at each place. Which is fine, but for the price I feel that there should have been more food so we left a little disappointed. We spent the same amount of money on a full day private tour of the city. Again, guide was great and took us to some great spots, but getting a small taste of things from 5 places doesn’t justify the almost $100 in my opinion

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Bonjour Thank you for your feedback. The price of the tour includes the cost of the licenced guide and all the different tastings. Maybe your full day tour was led by a passionate person but not a professional guide. I hope you still keep a sweet memory of your stay in Marseille. Best regards

    Amazing tour with Elisabeth

    Jonathan_B, Jul 2023
    We were a party of 5 and we loved hearing first hand about all the local food in Marseille. We tried a lot of different things including tarts, chocolates, olive oil and Macarons. Elisabeth was great and explained everything in engaging detail.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024
