Sacha is Fantastique! - Our family of 5 joined Sacha (My Super Tours) for a 3 hour tour around the Marais area within an hour of our arrival in Paris. Sacha was charming and easy to warm up to and he understood our first impressions of the city having arrived by Eurorail. He quickly turned those around by guiding us through hidden gems and picturesque streets that felt like only locals know, all while weaving in interesting bits of history. Sacha didn’t just give us a tour - he gave us the confidence to explore Paris on our own by teaching us how to navigate the Metro. We ended our time together at a stunning overlook we never would have discovered without him. It was the perfect start to our trip. My 18 year old son just referred to Sacha as “epic.” We highly recommend Sacha and will absolutely look to him again on future visits to Paris.

Fantastic! - Max is a knowledgeable, engaging and articulate guide. Starting at the place de la Bastille and finishing at the top of the Pompidou centre, it felt like a very well thought out journey through Paris’ fascinating medieval origins bringing us up to the modern day. I would particularly recommend this tour for anyone interested in the history of Parisian Jews. My girlfriend and I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you so much Max, it was a highlight of our trip. As was the restaurant he suggested for lunch! (L’As du fallafel)

A wonderful insight to Le Marais - A fantastic insight into Le Marais district, from it's royal history, Jewish history, architectural influences and amazing stories along the way, told so well by Sasha. Sasha digs deep into the soul of this place and really delighted us with his stories and showing us hidden gardens, medieval architecture and more that we never would have found on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

A must-do of Le Marais - Sasha was an extremely knowledgable and affable guide. It happened that we were the only two people on this tour and what a privilege that was. It was like having a well-read friend show us the secrets of Le Marais and explain some of the history. Thank you Sacha, we loved your tour. If we had more time we would have booked more of Sasha's tours.

Our worst experience in Paris - The meeting place was difficult to find, never did find it. Other groups meeting there could not help us. Got there 20 min before 10 tour, left very frustrated after searching for 40 min! Terrible experience!!!
