Great way to get a taste of the wonderful markets! - I’ve been to the markets several times, but a much better understanding of the markets! The guide was very informative and it was a great overview.

Lovely flea market tour - We really enjoyed having a guide with us for our tour through the flea market. He was able to give us a clear idea which vendors to go to. We bought some beautiful vintage prints on his recommendation. (I think his name was Anthony, but I am doing this review 2 weeks after and I'm not positive that is correct.) We wish we had more time as the flea market is massive! Would highly recommend!!

Great Tour - Flo is a wonderful guide through the various Flea Markets. She helped our group negotiate purchases and was patient as we moved slowly through the market. I highly recommend a guide for a first time visit.

Great Tour of the Paris Flea Markets - This was a great tour! The guide was lovely and she was very knowledgeable about the markets. She also provided our tour group with advice about which areas of the market to visit for specific items and recommendations for nearby restaurants for lunch. It was my first time visiting the markets in Paris, so having a guide was very helpful.

Excellent and worth the price - This was a great experience and well worth the money. Our guide was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Even if you’re a pro at thrifting/antiquing/haggling in your home country, this is a completely different experience because of the size alone. She gave us a great lay of the land and explained everything. She spent time with us showing us things and providing direction and helped us with a few transactions and then left us to our own at which point we were all comfortable and headed in the right direction instead of wandering and looking for a needle in the haystack.

Fantastic! - Absolutely a lovely time. Our guide was wonderful. As a French history teacher before becoming a guide, she brought a unique perspective and depth of knowledge. She knew the market and merchants very well. If you do not speak the language or would appreciate some guidance and history, this tour is a must for your first time at the market.

Did not like the tour. - Please structure the tour differently. We followed the guide with no opportunity to shop. We walked the entire time and the guide suggested if we saw anything we liked to take a picture and go back to it. There is little opportunity to do that. A better way would be to stop at interesting booths, look around, ask questions, and then have the guide give feedback and being allowed to purchase the item. We learned nothing and wasted a lot of time and energy.
