Greetings from Marseille! One of the best features of my tours is the fact that I provide a driver (except for the 2-hour walking tour), a great advantage because time isn't spent looking for parking. We'll be dropped off and picked up as close to the points of interest as possible. The driver concentrates 100% on driving while I give the tour and answer your questions. Although I've lived in France for 38 years, I'm American, so you should have no difficulty understanding my English. Whether it's cultural and historic sites or simply shopping, I'll take you there! My name is Kathy. I grew up in Washington St. , spent many years in Santa Barbara and New York City and arrived in France in 1986. After having lived 20 years in Paris, I finally discovered Marseille, fell in love with the city and have been happy here ever since. I'm looking forward to touring Provence with you! Certificate, Technicienne d'accueil touristique option accompagnement, tour leader, in English. Internship at the tourist information office in Marseille.

Kathy was prompt and efficient picking us up and provided an excellent introduction to Marseille. She was not only very knowledge in the history of the sights but also responded well to our questions and special requests and needs. It was a great morning getting to know Marseille.
Rick B.United States
My wife and I definitely recommend Kathy. She was very knowledgeable and happy to answer my many questions. It was a pleasure to spend time with her. We both felt like it was spending the day with a local friend!

Kathy and her driver, Billy, were wonderful. They planned a perfect tour to give me a taste of their lovely city. I have some mobility issues that Kathy took into account in her planning and we were able to get through the itinerary without issue. I have stayed away from Marseille through many visits to southern France, northern Spain, Italy and North Africa. Now, with Kathy’s introduction and Billy’s expert driving, I am kicking myself for what I have missed. I highly recommend visiting Marseille and doing so with Kathy!
