We had a great tour with Elli! We walked the Marais area as Elli pointed out highlights and iconic places, buildings, and statues. She pointed out great places to eat and drink as well as educate us about the cultural make up and history of the area. My wife is a photographer. Elli knew this because of a questionnaire we filled out before we arrived in Paris. Elli also contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out what we wanted to do and see on this tour. She took us to and pointed out places that would be great to photograph and patiently waited until we finished taking photos. Elli is very knowledgeable and educated but very easy to talk to and communicate with . Because of Elli we absolutely got the maximum value from this tour!
Elli is great!

Florence was spectacular, took us to the icon sites of Paris and told us much of the history of this beautiful country. Without a doubt we could know so much about Paris for her, we will come back!

St. Paul, the old jewish area, LGBQT, shopping, falafel, The Place des Vosges, the history and architecture; a vibrant and visually beautiful place to spend a Sunday afternoon. This private, well priced 3 hour tour with Hristo was a highlight of my very quick trip to Paris. Communication with Hristo was seamless, easy, and relaxing. As a solo female traveler I highly recommend Hristo and this tour. FYI-Some shops are closed on Sundays.

We were staying in Le Marais and decided to do this tour our first day there. It helped us understand the history and get a sense of our surroundings for the rest of the trip! Our guide, Jill, was so sweet and customized our tour based on what we wanted to see/ interests. Great way to find the hidden gems of the city!

Fabulous experience. Jill was amazing, creative and patient. She gave us so much to think about. She was also very patient as we wanted to do some shopping along the way. She packed a little picnic for us and we sat in one of the park and had a piece of bread and cheese while she told us a little bit about the food.
Delightful Visit of Le Marais

Roffy did a great tour showing the highlights of Le Marais. She discussed the history, culture, points of interest and recommended some good restaurants and attractions. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the different neighborhoods in Paris and this tour provided that in the short 2-hr window. I would highly recommend visiting Victor Hugo’s house and the art galleries. Those were absolutely worth it. This was a well put together tour and I can’t wait to do a tour of another neighborhood.
