5.00Benoit was a super guide and really brought out the history and culture of the Marais as home to some of the only parts of medieval Paris remaining. His presentation style was easy to understand, and he really brought the area to life. We had never been to the Marais and highly recommend this tour. Loved it!

5.00There happened to be some cancellations…so lucky for me, I got a private tour with Benoit. He was a true delight giving me the lay of the land of le Marais neighborhood. He was extremely knowledgeable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend Benoit.

5.00Linda was lovely and well informed about the area. The tour was very interesting and took us to very old parts of Paris off the tourist trail. Old church and hidden gardens were a highlight
