Turned into a Private tour - We had a private tour, since there were only 2 of us, with Claire. The walk thru le Marais neighborhoods was charming and very informative, at a leasure pace. Along the way we have discovered the area for our next stay in Paris. Claire had a nice, easy going personality and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you for a perfect day in Paris!

Personal and Wonderful! - Lou was an incredible guide. She had so much knowledge of the area and was also so kind and considerate. She took time to answer our questions and truly personalized our experience. Could not recommend her, or visiting the area, more!

Kind and friendly guide - We learned a lot about the history of the Marais! I was really curious about why it looks so different from the rest of the city and our guide was very kind and knowledgeable, especially about the Jewish history of Paris. We even came back to the market for lunch the next day.

La Marsir Through the Eyes of a Local. - Hugo did a great job of showing off La Marais. We are very glad we found a quaint hotel in this district. Hugo is a full-time tour guide / historian who loves his job so we learned a lot about the area and Paris history.

Nice relaxing enjoyable tour! Loved it! - Loved our walk around the Marais with Emily in Paris! Very nice guide, lots of history and sights to see that we would never have found otherwise. Great to take an in depth look at a neighborhood instead of running around all over the city. Had a private tour and went at our own pace. Very enjoyable.
