I recommend! - We had such a wonderful experience! Being in a small group made it feel personal and friendly, and we all truly enjoyed it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, sharing not only fascinating insights but also taking us to secret spots in the Marais that we would have never discovered on our own. A mix of history, culture, and local discoveries. I would highly recommend it!

Great tour - Very nice walk in the Jewish district. We had the chance to enter a small Synagogue, hidden from the street. 2 hours walk full of information ending outside the Jewish art Museum

Learning so much about "Marais Juif" and more. A must do - I did this visit this morning and honestly I do not understand previous comments. I learned a lot about jewish history in the Marais, totally embedded with the global story of this borough and of France global history (St Paul church being a perfect example). This comprehensive point of view is for me essential. The young lady that guided us was perfectly at ease, both for great history and small anecdotes. Thanks to her personal relationship we have been able to visit a hidden synagogue in Rue des Rosiers witch was a real luck and privilege for me. For alI these reasons, I warmly recommend this tour, that also made me discover the Art and History Jewish Museum where it ended. The guide also mentionned that friday was the best day for visiting Marais Juif, the day before shabbat, a point to consider.

The guide was very... - The guide was very knowledgeable but his English was a little hard to understand due to his accent. We enjoyed all of the sites and the pace of the walk. Group size was 6.

Not as advertised. Don't waste your money. - The tour guide was not knowledgeable about the area. She didn't even take us to the places highlighted in the description of the tour. The synagogue was not the right synagogue. No mention of the museum or the synagogue. Shame on Viator.

Do not book - The tour was horrible. Nothing as promoted. The guide had no clue where she was going and where she took us to the buildings were locked. They actually should refund all our money. This was a complete horrible experience, combined with a guide that had no knowledge. We saw nothing and was a complete waste of our time. Viator should be embarrassed that they even have this on their tours available as this guide and the tour was a complete waste of our time and thievery of our money. This was not a historic Jewish tour experience.

Underwhelming - Underwhelming, we didn’t get to see the synagogue advertised in the photo for this tour. We saw 2 others that were old but the guide didn’t tell us much about Jewish history. We went to more catholic sites than Jewish sites.
