The Marais is a beautiful district to visit! - We made a beautiful trip through the Marais with Jill. Jill has shown us all kinds of places we would never have gone ourselves. Jill is very knowledgeable, knows how to report many interesting details about the Marais, its buildings and its current and past inhabitants. The trip is an absolute must!

Excellent Guide - Jill is an excellent guide and I really appreciated that she went ahead with the tour despite others cancelling so I had an exclusive tour. Jill is very passionate and interested in the history of the Marias, she took me down little alleyways and into parts I would never have discovered on my own and she has plenty of interesting facts and stories to share. Highly recommend.

Best Off the Beaten Path Tour of Le Marais - We had an amazing walking tour of the Jewish and gay quarters of Paris, with our wonderfully knowledgeable (and funny) guide Jill! It was so lovely to hear about her connection to the community and it clear those connections drove her to making this your perfect. What we loved the most about Jill’s tour is that she minimized it to a max of 10 people (we had a group of 9), which alllowed her to get to know the interests of each person and cater the tour to those interests. She didn’t make it forced or fake, but genuinely interested in making sure we were filled with information that we felt privileged to know about Le Marais. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Jill!

Great afternoon in the rainy but beautiful Marais - Jill, our tour guide, was fantastic!! Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Marais. Spend a good bit of time explaining the history of the district, and made this a great afternoon in the city. She took time to learn about each of the individuals who took part in the tour, tailoring the emphasis to our interests. She took a lot of time trying to bring the history to light, and was very aware of the history of the Jews in the area, which was very impactful. We highly recommend the tour to all. She was very personable and was always checking in with us to make sure we were able to ask questions.

Fascinating Walk through the Marais - Jill was our walking guide for the Marais Walking Tour. She was terrific! Jill was very knowledgeable about the history of the Marais, it's inhabitants, architecture, etc. Jill was able to bring us into several historical and cultural sites in the Marais (privately owned) that are not generally open to the public. The Jewish history of the Marais was particularly fascinating; and Jill shared with us a wealth of knowledge, including several restaurants to try in the area. I highly recommend this tour and Jill!

Stuck with it. - Unfortunately our tour guide was not up to par. I’ve took several tours while I was here this was the only one that was not up to par.
