A part of Paris you’ve probably never seen

Ashley_V, Feb 2025
This is a really great in-depth tour of a part of Paris that I had never seen despite being on 10+ trips. I think it’s a great tour for adults but not children at all. The tour guide was wonderful and knew lots of history about the spaces.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

It was okay

Rebecca_W, Apr 2024
Louis was very friendly. If you only speak English, he can be hard to understand. This would be a tour if you are interested in finding more places to shop.

Our tour with Giles was great! He’s very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning more about this historical part of Paris. We ended the tour in a lovely wine bar with a long family history. We enjoyed it very much!
