Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This was my second tour with Lucien and again he was amazing. His knowledge of Paris is quite extraordinary and he tells it in a friendly and sometimes humorous way. I highly recommend Lucien !"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lucien on the Jewish history tour. Lucien is charming, a little quirky (delightfully so), and extremely knowledgable. It was a bit rainy as we walked thru the Latin Quarter, over Ile de la Cite to see Notre Dame, and end up in le Marais. We learned much and would highly recommend Lucien for any tour he may offer!! Thanks again Lucien."
"Fijne wandeling met Lucian gemaakt vanaf Quartier Latin richting Le Marais waarin hij bondig over de joodse geschiedenis door de eeuwen heen vertelde. Leuke manier om zo een stukje van Parijs te zien."

"Lucien created an individualized walking tour for us that included so much history and many interesting details of the area. It was very informative and I learned so many new things. Thank you Lucien!"
"Lucien was very knowledgable and very thorough. We had a great tour of Notre Dame and learned many details about the History of the Marais and of Paris as we walked to the beautiful off the beaten path sites he knew about. I highly recommend this guide!"
"Lucien created a fascinating tour of the marais. I had asked him to include French history in his Jewish tour and he did it masterfully. He has such a wealth of information at his fingertips and expresses it quite well. He also has a good sense of humor which comes across quite well. I highly recommend Lucien."
"Lucien is a highly skilled, knowledgeable tour guide and he has created a really fantastic tour. Charming, thought-provoking and combines his love of history with a very stimulating and entertaining walk through the Jewish history of Paris. I hope we will have the pleasure of being guided by him again. Even the kids loved his work!"
"Lucien hosted our group of three for a personalized tour about the Jewish history of Paris: from the left bank to the Marais. He was knowledgeable and familiar with the area and was able to explain background and information relevant to the sites we visited. The route we followed was very interesting following the left bank to the Marais. This provided us with a great understanding of the area and allowed us to then go back and explore. Before the tour, he connected with us to confirm our meeting place which was very helpful. This tour along with Lucien ‘s expertise is a recommendation for your visit to Paris! "
