Overview

Walk the cobbled streets of one of Paris’s historic neighborhoods with one of our hosts. From royals to streetside battles during the French Revolution, Le Marais has seen it all.

Enjoy impossible beauty that meets bloody history - you won’t believe some of the scandals!

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host.

See the playground for Paris’s most trendy – the crooked, cobbled, historical lanes that are alive with bars, restaurants, vintage shops, and jewelry boutiques. But there’s more to Le Marais than gorgeous “I-woke-up-like-this” locals queuing for pita at L'As du Fallafel. With your host to lead the way, you’ll explore its thriving art scene at upmarket galleries, amble through Musée Picasso, and visit iconic sites like Rue de Montmorency, where Nicolas Flamel’s house – the oldest in Paris – stands. Stumble across the district’s hidden secrets, like the utterly picturesque Passage de l’Ancre, where a quaint boutique sells umbrellas and walking sticks, and relax with a coffee or a glass of wine at a classic bistro. Très chic.

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

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.
