Marseilles for a day (Provence)

We have 1 day in Marseillie on March 30/19. I am looking at booking a E bike tour for the family. 6 of us all adults. I've been trying to find a tour that includes an authentic lunch made by locals but so far no luck.

First of all do you think this is the best way to tour Marseille in limited time? Is there any "must see" places we should know about. I've done quit a bit of research but curious if I"m missing anything.

Here's my list (notes some copied and pasted :) )

Marseille France
Vieux Port
The Vieux Port (Old Harbor) is probably the most important part of Marseille, where all tourists head to take photos, eat some fresh fish and seafood, watch the boats or ride the Ferris wheel. It is part of the city’s old town and a great location from which to head to all of the city’s main attractions, so it’s definitely worth a visit. Sunsets during the summer are particularly awe-inspiring, so stick around the area until early evening for some beautiful views.
Le Panier neighborhood
Marseille’s Old Town is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods visitors will find anywhere in France. It is easily accessible from the Vieux Port, as it is situated on a nearby hillside. It was first inhabited in 600BC, when the Greeks settled here, so it truly is the oldest part of the city. It is a colorful, multicultural neighborhood that blends the many influences that are present nowadays in
Marseille, making for a unique place in which to spend an evening or to go for a walk.
