So glad we selected WalkinonMars for our brief time in port in Marseilles! Ugo knows and loves this city and we enjoyed ourselves immensely as he shared the culture and history of everything from churches to gardens to beaches and more! We experienced much more than if we would have been stuck on a tour bus. A lovely day and great to have the local perspective! Not to be missed!
It was relaxing, personal and fun. I learned not only about Marseilles, but insight into French politics, idioms and cooking. The walk was nicely planned to be mostly downhill, in and out of distinctive nooks and crannies, and ending up in the Vieux Port, right where we started. Ugo fielded my questions with open interest and gave me knowledgeable answers. I would enjoy another walk with him again.
