Marais Unveiled: Exclusive Semi-Private Parisian Stroll
Price From $166.52 per person
Lowest Price Guarantee
This is a unique opportunity to learn about one of most important, layered, historically diverse and, in the last couple of decades, chic areas of Paris. We go through different stages of development of Marais, not leaving anything behind. On this visit, you will learn about the Jewish community and the Knights Templar; about the time when Marais was a fashionable neighborhood for opulent, yet restrained and elegant aristocratic abodes; when it fell from grace and was a working class, often dangerous place to be; how it was embellished, gentrified and how ultimately rose back to prominence. Not to leave anything out, you will also learn why it is one of most popular parts of the city for the Parisians too, not just for the tourists.

Beautiful Architecture. Favorite part was the church. The parts we saw were definitely more commercialized. I would tell guide exactly what you are interested in seeing. This tour company will always try to accommodate all requests. Highly recommend using Paris In Person for any tour.

Boris had fascinating insights to share that helped tie the past to present cultures. The Marais is a wonderful mix of architecture.

When visiting Paris, make sure to include the Marais area as a must see. I recommend taking this tour, and if possible, take it with Isadora. She met us right near the metro stop, and right on time. She was a wealth of information about the Marais and made the tour so interesting. She answered all of our questions along the way, and we all enjoyed our afternoon with her. We took this tour on a Sunday, which we learned is a very busy day in the Marais because the stores are open. It was a nice day, and it was crazy busy, but we enjoyed ourselves nevertheless. Thank you Isadora for a wonderful tour. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Paris.

The tour was well designed, with stops along the way & history & neighborhood information readily shared. Unfortunately it was raining, which made it harder to hear the guide and to really enjoy the neighborhood ambiance as everyone was hurrying to get where they were going. We would do it again though & highly recommend. (Customer service was very friendly as we were running a few minutes behind & then couldn't find the guide who had also set out to find us. thank goodness for cell phones!)
