Sarit was very knowledgeable, with a friendly personality. Her English was perfect, from spending many years in the States. This was very helpful to me, as my hearing is poor. Sarit took us to places we would never have discovered on our own, extremely interesting, and she included very insightful anecdotes. The tour was a pleasure, and I highly recommend it.

We did this tour with our guide, Sarit Zadok, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. She took us to several historical sites throughout Marseille. Sarit is very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. We stopped at a couple shoppes along the way which were extremely interesting. We highly recommend Sarit and are really happy we took this tour. Thanks!!
