The tour started off a little bumpy because the tour operator system didn’t notify my guide she had a tour. However, despite that, Sabrina was brilliant! She came late due to the mix up but she spent a great deal of time with me and showed me so many wonderful things. We saw the Picasso museum, the history of Paris museum, she pointed out a lot of relevant historical and architectural features along the way. She explained a lot about the royalty of France and which kings did what to improve the city. It was amazing. I give Sabrina a lot of credit for coming last minute and sharing her city with me. I highly recommend the tour.

Our guide Jill was knowledgeable, super friendly and went out of her way to curate a tour based on our interests. She even provided a scrumptious French snack which gave the experience a personal touch. Highly recommended

Patti_R

Our group really looked forward to our tour of the Marais District in Paris, but found that our tour guide was not prepared. At the request of your company, we sent in requests of what we were interested in seeing on our tour, yet our guide had no knowledge of our comments and had no plan herself. She was soft spoken, so anyone who was not right beside her, had no idea what she was saying. We asked multiple times for her to speak louder and while she always agreed to, she never did. She was very kind and sweet, but our tour was not at all what we expected and we decided to end it early. It was definitely not worth the money that we had spent. The following day, we toured the Montmartre area with a guide from another company. She had the list of ideas that we had submitted with her, made sure we saw everything on that last, and much more. She was filled with knowledge of the area and explained the history of the area to us as we walked along. That was a successful tour.

Our tour guide Hugo did not show up - we stood in the rain at the meet up location for 15 min - sending requests via what’s App, texting and emailing. Finally called the customer service number. They were helpful, confirmed the meet up locations and tried to contact the guide to no avail. The tour was refunded.

nhartenbaum

Very disappointed. Cancelled couple hours before. Asked if we could at least get the locations awe would be stopping at (understand no information just the stops) Did not get response until I er 24 hours later and the answer was no. Tried to find stops we thought might be interesting but….. we just wanted ideas of plan es to visit in LaMarais

Bonnie_G

Really enjoyed this walking tour! Anukool was knowledgeable and fun to walk around with. Learned and saw quite a bit. O poop Highly recommend!

sandramU1989GF

This was a very interesting look at parts of the Marais not usually visited. Our guide Achilles had many interesting little stories about some of the places he took us to, including that his grandmother had owned an apartment in Place des Vosges and he used to visit her and play there. Highly recommend!

BanzaiMakai

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us many interesting things we would have never discovered on our own. Highly recommend

Rebone1011

Unfortunately our planned tour took place on a Sunday and on a weekend which included a National Holiday in France. Since none of the 8 of us was familiar with the area at all and weren't aware of closures, we would have appreciated our guide to be much more proactive with the planning and giving us alternative options to the tour. All 8 of us were quite disappointed and felt that our time could have been spent doing something different during our short stay in Paris. Salvana was a very nice person, it just wasn't the tour we expected. She did ask what we wanted to see many times, but again, if we don't know the area and restrictions, we would think that would be her responsibility, not ours. Our friends who were on the tour have a son who took the same tour and loved every moment, sadly we cannot report the same..

The guide was a friendly young man with experience in architecture and archaeology. About the Marais, not so much. We were interested in the Jewish community but the guide was unable to identify any synagogues and took us to a park to see a memorial to Ann Frank — but couldn’t find it. After 2-1/2 hours we had enough. An expensive lesson with very little value.
