Worth the price of admission - This tour is very informative. Our guide, Knight was awesome. He is a walking google. Provided us with so much knowledge about the experience of black people in Paris France, years ago and now. Also has a wealth of knowledge about Paris in general.

Best Tour Ever! - Learning about the contributions of French citizens of African descent and also those from the US. The back stories were very interesting and the tour was well organized. Traveling by subway and bus provided an authentic experience of Paris. Visiting Chateau Rouge was wonderful! I loved the shops and vibrancy of the area.

Amazing information! - Knight was very knowledgeable about the history and contribution of black immigrants to French culture. We were lucky to have a professor of history impart his knowledge in the manner in which he did. I felt like I was in a classroom absorbing amazing information. He also gave us some basic understanding of the French language. He would support his words with amazing photos and videos.

Long Worthwhile Tour - Don’t Miss It! - This tour packs a ton of content, metro stops, and neighborhoods into the 5 hours, but I highly recommend staying the whole time. It’s all curated by someone who clearly loves being part of our culture and sharing that knowledge with us. Despite the lack of media representation showing Black Paris to the rest of the world, one thing is clear. We are everywhere!

Best Tour Must Do - This is a must do while in Paris. Knight is beyond knowledgable and a great guide. He was also extremely relatable and kind. Our tour group literally became like family by the end of the day and we hated to part ways. Best history class I've ever attended.

Loved the Black Paris Tour - Knight was a Great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and engaging. I was with 9 family members (cousins). Some of us walk often and others, not so much. Knight was observant and could tell when some may have been tired from walking (but didn't want to say anything) and he made adjustments (that fit everyone). Great time! Would take again and definitely recommend!
