Marais Time Travel - Really travel through the Marais. Lots of information and lots of history. The French have thousands of years of history, so there is no way to cover it all. Jill curated a unique experience for us.

tour of Le Marais - Dec 2024 - Jill walked our large family, from teenagers to elderly, through an enjoyable tour of the fascinating Marais neighborhood in Paris. Her knowledge and lively enthusiasm immersed us in its historical evolution from Roman times to-date. Her choice of landmarks, observations and stories, tailored to the various interests of our group, enlightened us and kept us so absorbed for the over 2-hour duration of the tour that we forgot about the cold of the morning. A convenient feature was her use of individual headsets that made it easy to follow every detail of her narration while moving among the crowd. Thanks, Jill for sharing the history of this interesting piece of Paris!

A wonderful tour! Highly recommended. - Jill was the perfect guide for our family of four to tour Le Marais. She engaged with our teenage children so well and brought us all on a journey of discovery. She was passionate and fun and very knowledgeable. We were so happy with our experience we booked Jill's Montmartre tour which was equally as fulfilling. We all learned so much and felt like we were very immersed in the atmosphere and joy of discovering the richness and surprises of Le Marais and Montmartre. We will treasure these memories of Paris with Jill. ❤️

Guide was a no show! - The guide didn’t show up or respond to messages. Wasted hours of my trip to be at the meeting place, search for a non existent guide and try to get support. Neither Viator nor the tour operator is concerned at this complete failure of their services. Such a letdown!
