    The tour was really interesting and fun. Anukool our tour guide took his time to explain everything and make sure we had a great time. He explained the history, old buildings as well as shopping, places to eat, etc. Highly recommend it if you love walking around old school neighborhoods with history.

      Our guide Anukool knew a lot and it helped us get a better picture of the history and present of Le Marais. We wondered around the urban ‘swamp’ of Paris and discovered beautiful churches, stories and streets that we did not know of. A must done if you like to know which place you are visiting. Anukool is the best

        Very informative. My guide was polite. He was well informed. It was a very enjoyable walking tour of a part of Paris that I was not very familiar with.
