Exciting - Visit in time and space of a Parisian district. A history lesson our grandchildren will remember. Robin tells us about the episodes of the Revolution, commenting on today's settings. We will surely follow another soap opera from Paris with him.

French Revolution Tour in Paris - This was truly an incredible experience. I did both the French Revolution tour and also the Jewish Quarter tour on the same day. Robin is not only a top notch expert in the subject matters but also is kind, attentive and fun! He was patient to listen to all my questions and interjections. We had a lovely time and it truley opened up a new window into this fascinating city. This tour is incredibly affordable too, as many of these tours are twice the price. Thank you Robin for an amazing day!

A Fresh Take on Classic History - This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Paris with even a slight interest in the complex histories of the French Revolution. Robin has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of key locations and events that took place across this transitional period in French history. Furthermore, this charismatic guide is friendly, interested, patient and speaks exceptional English. A+ | A Parisian day well spent.

Cultural and gastronomic immersive tour in Paris - Excellent tour with excellent person and teacher!!! We have visited the Bastille district to understand the French revolution in detail, and the visit to the Père Lachaise cemetery and the Latin quarter has been very interesting and super instructive. Special note for the choice of restaurant which has been delicious. The tour has been in English but the guide had a lot of knowledge in Spanish. Thank you very much Robin!

Wonderful experience - Learning more about the many French Revolutions and how the spirit of those who came before still shapes modern France was enlightening. Seeing the city with a local history professor able to answer our questions, showing us off the beaten path Paris, fabulous lunch and snacks... this was everything we were looking for in a tour. Highly recommend for history buffs.

Excellent, authentic tour of Paris from a real Parisian 😊 - Excellent tour of Jewish history in Paris with Robin. Robin offered the tour in English for my family from the US visiting Paris, and we had a beautiful walking tour of the Marais, witnessing history in action. Robin’s style is incredibly engaging, bringing in personal history as he’s born and raised in Paris, while also offering a lot of knowledge and insight. He personalized the tour based on input from what my family wanted to see, which we really appreciated! If you’re looking for an original, professional, friendly and dynamic tour I highly recommend :)

Amazing Parisian experience - Informative visit, full of interesting anecdotes about Paris. The guide was punctual and took care to adapt to our needs during this day through the mythical places of Paris. Robin is a perfect guide who knows how to convey history for young and old alike! Despite a little rain, the guide immediately found a solution in his hometown, which he knows perfectly. It's incredible. Thanks again to Robin for introducing us to Paris in this way. We highly recommend.
