Great tour. - Our family had a great experience on this walking tour of the Marais! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the neighborhood’s rich history, from medieval times to the French Revolution to modern times. What I loved most was how she got to know us and tailored parts of the tour to our interests and background. I love how she would point out hidden courtyards, stunning architecture, and charming little streets I never would’ve found on my own. It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and local insight. We highly recommend this tour.

Tour of the Marais - We had an amazing tour today with tour guide, Jill. She had a brilliant sense of humor and great knowledge of the Marais, including the Jewish and Gay Quarters. I was so pleased hearing all the little facts and observations she made which made the tour fun and exciting. I would highly recommend this tour as an overview of the Marais and these areas. It was great to see French memorials (which she pointed out) of USA historical events and persons. It was a nice reflection for us. Overall this tour exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful experience! - The area of La Marais was one of our favorite parts of Paris. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of France; she really took extra time to explain La Marais’s connection to everything such as the monarchy, world war 2, and the Jewish immigration to the area. So interesting!!!
