I would give a 0 stars if it was an option. My tour guide never showed up. I waited 30 minutes in the designated spot. I called the support team who kept me on hold for 40 minutes while trying to figure out where the tour guide was, with no luck. I texted directly with the tour guide he did not respond, four times! I shared all of my screenshots of this communication with viator, in addition to a detailed explanation of events. To add insult to injury, Viator rejected my refund request without even LOOKiNG at all of my supporting documentation. This is outrageous! I will NEVER use viator again and am considering legal action for the waste of my vacation days, time and stress that this hs caused me.

Paolo was an amateur tour guide. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Paris / the Marais was truly impressive. Around every corner was another great story and in addition he answered all our other questions about French history and culture. Our tour ran very late but felt very short. Thanks for a memorable afternoon.

Paolo was a great guide to see a part of Paris. He was able to show us Le Marais through a wide variety of lenses - historically, architecturally, and the current culture and community. He shared his personal insights and experiences as well which helped paint a fuller picture both of the area and of Paris overall. It was a truly enjoyable morning and a wonderful opportunity to experience this beautiful city in a new way. I wish we had more time in the city because I would love to explore other areas of Paris with Paolo - he would be an excellent guide to check out Montmartre or St. Germain with too!

Our guide Isabelle was just THE BEST! She really knows the heartbeat of Le Marais- she gave us tons of recommendations for shopping food the best coffee the best cheese. She knows so much about the history of the area- we learned a lot! She is very personable- we loved our time with her. Please pass this onto her!❤️

Lucien is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Jews in Paris. He answered all our questions and presented events within their historical content and with great nuance. Cannot recommend highly enough.

**Discovering Hidden Gems in Le Marais with Carlos** I recently embarked on a delightful journey through the charming streets of Le Marais with our guide, Carlos. Even for someone who had once called Paris home, Carlos unveiled a treasure trove of spots in Le Marais that had remained undiscovered. He isn't just a guide; he's a passionate storyteller with a flexibility that caters to his audience. His infectious enthusiasm and depth of knowledge provide a fresh and captivating perspective on Paris. For those in search of the true essence of Le Marais and beyond, look no further than Carlos. Eagerly awaiting our next Parisian adventure, we'll undoubtedly have Carlos leading the way once more. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our time with our guide! He knows so much about Paris, historically and architecturally. The perfect person to guide us around to the most important spots to see in the city. We walked around the Marais district. We also discussed the Parisian culture and had fun getting to know him. Very interesting and we highly recommend him. Thank you P!
