Our guide was fabulous! She was sensitive to our “older” needs and took great care us to get our bolt ride to our next place. Excellent.

We had arrived on a Friday early afternoon, and took it upon ourselves to move forward and glad we did a tour within the district we rented an apartment in. It was a great way to get a feel for the Marais area. We met up with Linda easily across from Centre Pompidou and it was just 6 of us on the tour. Linda did a great job explaining the area, walking us through different streets, and we visited "Aux Merveilleux" for the best brioche-esque with chocolate we ever had (we even went back to it days later!) as well as tasted the merengue they are famous for. We also visited Pierre Hermes for macaroon tasting (but I'm not a big fan of macaroons), and we ended the visit with a small wine and cheese tasting (our 14 y.o. son even enjoyed the red wine!) Despite the light drizzle, we enjoyed Linda, her knowledge, and her over all easy going manner.

We loved this tour and our guide Camila. She was wonderful with our kids (ages 14 and 10,) knowledgeable about the different locations and food. We had a great time and would recommend this to all.
