    We enjoyed the historical context of our tour including the guide identifying landmarks we would not have otherwise noticed. An improvement would have been for the guide to have taken a minute at the beginning to orient us with a map as to what we were going to see. Thx

    Boris did a wonderful job showing us the beautiful Marais area. We toured old and new areas, learning about the history of the architecture, who worked and lived in the area hundreds of years ago as well as the gentrification of the area. My daughters and I enjoyed every minute of the tour and the interesting conversation with Boris who was very comfortable to chat with. Boris is very well educated on Paris, art and architecture - a perfect guide for this trip! We'll definitely recommend him to friends looking for any tours in Paris.

    My daughter and I absolutely loved our private walking tour with Caroline! We had just arrived to Paris that morning and we could not have asked for a better introduction to Le Marais. I had indicated on the form that we were interested in learning about the area through an art history lens and that we were also curious to learn how the area developed it's LGBT community. Caroline thoughtfully instructed us on the essential monuments and architecture of the area and gave us an appreciation for Le Marais that we spent the next several days talking about and revisiting. We spent time going back to many of the streets she introduced to us to visit restaurants and shops. She also carefully traced the development and fascinating history of LGBT rights throughout Paris's history- cumulating with the controversial opening of Centre Pompidu and the area's first "Open" gay bar! We were so engaged in her story of the efforts and rationale of the church and government to intitally suppress, then begin to progressively recognize, and finally celebrate the LGBT community. Caroline brought up many interesting points that we continue to discuss. We were welcomed to Paris through this tour and we are thrilled to have met Caroline as an expert and to have made her a friend. The research and care she put into making the tour unique and specific to our interests was humbling and impressive. pam bigatel artist and educator 206-384-0026
