I couldn’t have asked for a better tour in Paris! Sebastien was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city’s history to life with fascinating stories and interesting details. The pace was perfect, relaxed but still covering so much. What really stood out was how engaging and friendly Sebastien was, making everyone feel welcome and included. I highly recommend this experience!

It was such fun to tour thru the covered passages with Sebastien. He gave us a great understanding of the development of and reason for these exquisite shopping spaces. It was delightful to see some “hidden” Paris with a truly excellent guide. I highly recommend this tout.

We toured on a hot day and Sebastien was well-prepared with water and sensitive to the group’s needs (level of exertion; finding cooler, shaded spots; etc.). Sebastien was very flexible and adjusted on the fly to accommodate our teen daughter’s special requests (shopping stops!) along the tour. This included a detour to the Jellycat Patisserie. An added bonus is that Sebastien is an incredible resource on all things French – from food and restaurants, customs, and basic need-to-know words and phrases. He was so kind and happy to answer any and all questions. He helped us find restaurants that were convenient to our hotel. Sebastien easily engaged with all members of our group and we were always smiling! Sebastian’s impeccable English is easy to understand. SLL small group tour is the way to go!

What a day! The tour of covered passages in Paris was like stepping back in time and entering a magical trip to hidden pathways filled with history, artisans, shops, restaurants and amazing beauty. We had no idea such gems were hidden behind the pathways and doors of Paris. The whole family loved this experience - both young and old. We were so sad to see the day end. We will be doing this again, because there is still so much to see!! Sebastien was such a great guide! We had a truly wonderful experience!

Absolutely fantastic tour. Tour guide was very personable and was more than happy to answer any and all questions. He also went above and beyond to incorporate what the group wanted to do as well. He clearly has a fantastic knowledge of the city! 5/5
