Scuba Diving Tours in France: 4 With the Prices and the Hours

1.Beyond Bouillabaisse: Diving into Marseille’s Multicultural Stew

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 193 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $160Our pick

Spend about 5.5 hours walking from Saint-Charles station to the Old Port with guides such as Coco, Séverine, Chloé, or Alexis. Expect Algerian food, Provençal biscuits, market tastes, spices, tea, fish, cheese, wine, and an apéro in a former sailors’ bar. The tour serves generous food and focuses more on Marseille’s immigrant cultures than classic French cuisine.

“What an outstanding tour and food experience. We explored places that we would have never go on our own, we learned about the local culture, the immigration and the evolution of Marseille. Chloe, our guide, was the best. Amazing, relaxed and knowledgeable. Definitively something to do in every city from now on!”
