What a great tour! Marche Madness is the perfect tour for those who want to uncover a part of Paris that most visitors don't see - the local markets. If you love shopping and hunting for the perfect treasures and souvenirs (and even feeling a bit like a local), this tour is for you. Allison is an excellent guide and you can tell that she loves and appreciates Paris. She's very knowledgeable about French culture and traditions. We will definitely be taking another tour with Allison the next time we are in town.

Allison is EXCELLENT. As an ex-pat who has lived in Paris for several years, she has a great sense about how to relate the Paris experience to American sensibilities. She takes you to places you would not discover through guidebooks/websites, and makes them very accessible. She is well studied in French history, and paces out her curated tours perfectly. Allison is also very attentive and tailors your experience. I have been to Paris over a dozen times, and have always loved the City. But I never enjoyed it quite like I did when our family hired Allison to show us around. I will be recommending her to all of my friends.

Allison was a terrific guide. She was knowledge, helpful, and friendly……and bought us crepes and flowers! She explained how the markets work and how to differentiate between the vendors. We had a great time!
