I did not get to experience the tour due to rain. However, after contacting Viator they provided me a full refund. This makes me confident and will reschedule a tour when back in Paris. Thank you Viator team!

This tour is a must! Our guide, David took us off the beaten path so we saw things we normally would not have seen. We throughly enjoyed the walking tour and last but not least the wine and cheese taking at the end was wonderful too. I highly recommend this tour.

Tricia_C

The tour guide was very difficult to hear and understand. The tour itself was not what we expected. The cheese and wine tasting was at the end. We paid nearly 400$ to walk around a few city blocks and get a tiny cheese plate at the end for four people. Tour guide new nothing about the wine and the staff at the restaurant had no involvement or engagement in the fact that we were there. Do not recommend.

Megan_J

Had a great tour with David, he’s very knowledgeable. And really good at choosing wine and cheese to try !

Ramsey_B

Just the two of us + the guide on our tour. Was like taking a stroll in the afternoon with your French grandmother. Viviana was kind, knowledgeable, and gave us a different view on a lot of things we had been overlooking! Three full pours of wine at the end. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in history and looking for quality time with a local Parisian.

Taylor_S

You never showed up! We need a refund. We got to the meeting spot 45 minutes early and waited for 15 minutes after and the guide never showed up.

Shelley_K

We enjoyed the history of the area. Finding the small Paris museum was a plus. Viviana was a wonderful guide. The Bistro for wine and cheese tasting was excellent.

Tracy N

Our tour guide David was fabulous. He took the time to explain the culture of La Marais. The wine and cheese experience was great as well. We would highly recommend!!

Stephen_C

The your did not happen. The starting time was delayed an hour and then the tour guide was late to the point where he was nearly an hour late. That’s two hours later than originally scheduled. We had to cancel a dinner reservation to accommodate the one hour start time delay and then to be later beyond that is unacceptable. We told the tour company we we’re leaving and we’re extremely disappointed with them. We have requested a full refund and expect nothing less for the inconvenience they have caused. We were so looking forward to this tour given that we had dinner in the Marais area a few days before. Any assistance in getting us our refund would be appreciated. Thank you.

David was a great guide, sharing history and personal thoughts to make the tour special. Highly recommend!
