- Le Marais - Start by understanding the historic importance of the Marais, which once laid beyond the center of Paris. Today, it is at the heart of the city. Discover the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis before walking through the courtyard of the majestic Hotel de Sully. Continue experiencing the royal history of the Marais by exploring the pristine Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris. Afterwards, move forward in time to learn all about the bustling Jewish community that put the Marais on the map through the 18th and 19th centuries. Wander the bakeries and boutiques of the Pletzl before strolling the shop-laden rue des Francs Bourgeois. All the while you’ll discover mansion after mansion, former homes to the nobility that once called the Marais home. Some are now museums, like the highly worthwhile Musée Carnavalet. The tour may also introduce you to both the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, and the Pompidou Center, both architectural masterpieces from very different periods.

Eden gave an amazing tour! - Eden was an amazing guide and we really appreciated the stories, the tour and what she showed us, We especially liked the secret (or off the path) garden in the Le Marais district.
We learned a great deal and Eden was really awesome along with the recommendations.
One small note that we were hoping to learn was the history of some of the Jewish synagogues in the area, although security is tight and visitors are not allowed to enter it would be good to hear more of their history.
Great tour and would highly recommend!

Must do! - Agustina gave a fabulous tour! We learned so much about the neighborhood and its connection to history. To say Agustina knows her stuff is an understatement! She is engaging and helpful with recommendations, too. I highly recommend this tour - our trip to Paris was greatly enriched by tours and guides like this.

Amazing Experience with Agustina - Agustina was hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. I did Le Marais tour with my family and at the beginning of the tour she asked us why we chose to come on this tour so that she could tailor the tour to our interests. She did such an amazing job walking us through Marais. I felt so immersed in the history and I learned so much. She shared personal stories, was so engaging, and even spent a little bit more time with our group in order to show us everything we wanted to see. I wish I could take every tour offered in Paris with Agustina.

Perfect tour of the Marais with a charming guide! 10/10! - What an amazing tour with Eden! We booked a private tour, and she customized it beautifully for our family. She was so friendly and charming, her English is perfect, and she taught us so much! Plus she took amazing photos of our family. Can’t recommend Eden highly enough!
