Sebastian is the best tour guide in Paris! - Sebastian was so fun, attentive, kind and knowledgeable! Highly recommended going on any tour w him! He helped nine American women (and teens/kids) navigate the beautiful streets of Paris which such patience and care. We toured the first day of our vacation and he made sure to set us up for success. He even helped us purchase and understand the metro, suggested the best dining and most picturesque streets, took fabulous pics and gave us his contact info for any future questions we might have had. Overall a 10/10 wonderful experience!

Fun and educational - A fun tour. The French guide, Sébastien, spoke perfect English, and was very friendly. Very small group; I was the only one on the tour. I’ve been in the Marais neighborhood in the past, but with Sébastien I saw interesting things I’d never noticed before. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Sebastien: Above and beyond guide - Sebastien was our guide and was terrific. We were fortunate to be the only couple that day due to the holiday and he gave one of the most memorable experiences through the Marais district. He provided loads of great historical facts, playful conversation, and tremendous recommendations (food, restaurants, arts, museums) to do in Pairs. Would definitely recommend for a guide of not only Marais but of Paris.

Lovely tour of Le Marais - A very enoyable and interesting tour. Our guide Sébastien did a brilliant job. He was polite, friendly, well organised and had great knowledge of the area we walked through. He pointed out details that we never would have discovered if it had not been for him. We would recommend this tour to anybody wanting to get to know Le Marais better.

Maria’s walking tour. - Our time spent with Sebastian was by far the most informative tour we have taken. His historical knowledge of Paris and architecture along with his very friendly personality made the time fly by. Sebastian went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend him.

Experience Marias and Its History with more than a guide. - My sister and I could not have had a better tour guide than Sebastian. He was on time, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history. Sebastian went above and beyond pointing out interesting facts and items of interest while taking care of our personal needs. We will be booking another experience with him in the very near future and highly recommend him to all.

Our day at le Marais with a local Parisian guide! - Our tour of the Marais with Sebastian was the highlight of our time in Paris. More than a guide, Sebastian was a delightful host and companion: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and charming. He exceeded all of our expectations. His love of the city and its history is refreshingly expressed throughout his tour.
I highly recommend booking a tour with Sebastian. You won’t regret it!

Super Sweet Unexpected Adventure - My boyfriend and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore and learn about the city. We took the tour of Le Marais and had absolutely no idea about half of the things we learned. My boyfriend even made friends with the tour guide Sebastien and we all got a drink together after the tour. 10/10
