Highlights
- Le Marais - Start by understanding the historic importance of the Marais, which once laid beyond the center of Paris. Today, it is at the heart of the city. Discover the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis before walking through the courtyard of the majestic Hotel de Sully. Continue experiencing the royal history of the Marais by exploring the pristine Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris. Afterwards, move forward in time to learn all about the bustling Jewish community that put the Marais on the map through the 18th and 19th centuries. Wander the bakeries and boutiques of the Pletzl before strolling the shop-laden rue des Francs Bourgeois. All the while you’ll discover mansion after mansion, former homes to the nobility that once called the Marais home. Some are now museums, like the highly worthwhile Musée Carnavalet. The tour may also introduce you to both the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, and the Pompidou Center, both architectural masterpieces from very different periods.

Andrea was wonderful, she was very knowledgeable about the art and the history of the Louvre itself. Great guide! - Love that we had our tickets prepaid, no long line on a Saturday. It was so nice to have a private guide with so much knowledge.
Hit the highlights which was what we wanted to do.
I recommend this tour

Paris’ Hidden Gem Neighborhood - Ugo was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He knew the secret areas known by locals. Very interesting. Excellent English a plus. It was an area that we had never been before, even after multiple times to Paris.
