Alasdair was the perfect tour guide. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, clear, pleasant, and a thoroughly delightful companion. I don't think we've ever had a better tour guide.
What a great tour with Eden in Le Marais in Paris! She started our tour with a nice explanation of the history of Paris and the forming of each arrondissement. We then explored the neighborhood learning about how the architecture reflected the times. We went to the holocaust memorial and she pointed out how the Jewish children taken by the Nazis are still honored today. It was a beautiful and haunting experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history.
Our guide Florian gave a tour of the Marais that covered the colorful history of this neighborhood, from its original inhabitants, through its development as an aristocratic district, the French Revolution and its becoming a haven for European Jews, through the War period and post-war rehabilitation, all the way through to present day.
We saw many local gems we would never have discovered on our own. The tour was well-paced, informative, and entertaining. The highlight of our 4-day trip to Paris.
Alistair was the best guide we ever had. His knowledge of the area and environments was sensational. His depth of knowledge was extraordinary. His English was impeccable and his demeanor was terrific.
Wonderful and informative trip on the Le Maris district. History, architecture, and more are covered in this walking tour. Sophie was so helpful and made it clear where we would start. She was able to be reached via text which I have never had a tour guide do. We saw many things we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. Wealth of knowledge was given.
Florian was super knowledgeable. Great tour. One of the best guides I’ve had! Highly recommend him specifically.
Grounded in history of the Marais district and Parisian empire
Walking while learning about important events and architecture in the area
Florian was terrific and very knowledgeable. He was extremely helpful because we were late getting to the tour.
The tour was fascinating and Sophia was incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this to others.
Sophia was an incredible source of information as she guided us through the Marais district. We walked at a comfortable pace and gained a deep understanding of all the sites we encountered, which brought the neighborhood's history to life. It was an excellent tour.
Eden was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and she adjusted the tour to the participants desires. Her English was perfect as well.
It was a pleasure taking this tour with our guide, Georgia. She was flexible and understanding, flawlessly adjusting the itinerary to accommodate my mobility concerns. She was able to captivate this old lady, as well as my 16-year-old niece, with interesting stories and fun anecdotes that brought this part of the city to life. She also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our visit to Paris. Thanks Georgia!
Excellent tour! Tamari was very knowledgeable and a great guide showing us around. We had a great time and also learned a lot about the history of the neighborhood
Very personal! Very informative! Eden was wonderful and even recommended a lunch spot for after the tour that was fantastic!
Sophia L Is phenomenal! I did a tour with her (Le Marais District Guided Walking Tour - Semi-Private) and it was fantastic! One of the best mornings I had on my trip to Paris. She made it so memorable. I learned and saw so much during our few hours together, and she gave me fantastic suggestions for the rest of the day. Will definitely try to find other tours that she is giving for my next trip to Paris. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Paris.
Sophie was extremely knowledgeable and communicated interesting and factual information to a group of various ages,
Excellent tour guide
Took the Marais walking tour with my wife and had Georgia as our guide. She was wonderful. High energy from start to finish, thorough, and a genuine wealth of knowledge about the neighborhood. The weather turned a bit rainy on us, but she didn't let it slow her down at all. She clearly knows the Marais inside and out, and we came away having actually learned the history and character of the area rather than just walking past pretty buildings. Strongly recommend. Ask for Georgia if you can.
Al the tour guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, and animated. We were very satisfied with the tour.
I've walked around Marias without a guide in the past. You learn so much more when you have an experienced guide to help you understand the history and the culture.
Loved this tour! Sophia was a great guide and the tour was an amazing overview of the Marais neighborhood.
Hugo was excellent! He is an encyclopedia of knowledge with a nice personality and very understandable.
Alasdair was an amazing tour guide! I found the tour to be very informative and he was very fun and engaging. I highly recommend!
Hugo proved to be very informative and we had a very enjoyable tour of the Marais district. The time went very quickly.
Fascinating walk through historic part of Paris. The tour guide Marie was very good despite the rain.
Lots of walking, guide offers options for stopping for a drink if needed, recommendations for places to eat.
Enthusiastic presentation was very engaging. Interesting stops, tidbits of trivia, and mix of current and past history. I recommend this tour.
Fantastic guide! Loved the specificity and history in this tour! Eden is very knowledgeable and organized!
We took this walking tour on Christmas Day. Lots of interesting historical information. Our tour guide was helpful, interesting and managed our group well.
Amazing amazing ! Learned so much. Wow. It was amazing to discover this area of Paris. 2.5 hours went in a blink ! Very worth it.
Hugo was entertaining and well-I formed. I appreciation opening our eyes to the area’s history and development.
