Great food & drink in all sorts of unique spaces!

There were only 3 of us on this excursion and CoCo was a fantastic guide. We tried all sorts of great food and drink in all sorts of unique spaces. I enjoyed walking through parts of town I would have never experienced without a guide and learning more about the history of Marseille. Would highly recommend!
Not to miss!

I always learn so much with Culinary Backstreets. It's not only about the food, but about the city and cultures. I will always look for a Culinary Backstreets in whichever city I'm in -- the guides are so professional and humble.
