NEVER USE VIATOR!
Maura_M, Dec 2024
I would give a 0 stars if it was an option. My tour guide never showed up. I waited 30 minutes in the designated spot. I called the support team who kept me on hold for 40 minutes while trying to figure out where the tour guide was, with no luck. I texted directly with the tour guide he did not respond, four times! I shared all of my screenshots of this communication with viator, in addition to a detailed explanation of events. To add insult to injury, Viator rejected my refund request without even LOOKiNG at all of my supporting documentation. This is outrageous! I will NEVER use viator again and am considering legal action for the waste of my vacation days, time and stress that this hs caused me.

An Afternoon in the Marais
169bertramr, Dec 2024
Paolo was an amateur tour guide. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Paris / the Marais was truly impressive. Around every corner was another great story and in addition he answered all our other questions about French history and culture. Our tour ran very late but felt very short. Thanks for a memorable afternoon.
Loved this tour of Le Marais - Knowledgeable and Personable Guide
qe22018, Dec 2024
Paolo was a great guide to see a part of Paris. He was able to show us Le Marais through a wide variety of lenses - historically, architecturally, and the current culture and community. He shared his personal insights and experiences as well which helped paint a fuller picture both of the area and of Paris overall. It was a truly enjoyable morning and a wonderful opportunity to experience this beautiful city in a new way. I wish we had more time in the city because I would love to explore other areas of Paris with Paolo - he would be an excellent guide to check out Montmartre or St. Germain with too!
Iza our guide truly is the BEST!

Our guide Isabelle was just THE BEST! She really knows the heartbeat of Le Marais- she gave us tons of recommendations for shopping food the best coffee the best cheese. She knows so much about the history of the area- we learned a lot! She is very personable- we loved our time with her. Please pass this onto her!❤️
Wonderful Tour Guide for Jewish Paris
DianaID19, Dec 2024
Lucien is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Jews in Paris. He answered all our questions and presented events within their historical content and with great nuance. Cannot recommend highly enough.
