Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and expertly took us to all of the best places to shop. We went on a Monday, which is the last day the markets are open (Sat-Mon is the only time to go) so not everything was available, but we still found plenty of wonderful treasures and saw even more amazing things. Highly recommend!
It was a wonderful experience with one of the best guides I’ve ever had. He took so much time with us, was so nice and explained extremely well.
Jean was an excellent guide. He arrived early to our hotel and we enjoyed traveling with him to the location of our tour as he pointed out sites in Paris and explained history. He tailored the experience to us and was careful and kind to take us to places that we enjoyed very much. We loved looking at antiques and design and met many fascinating people during our visits to many shops. Jean was kind to work as not only our guide but our translator when necessary. We would highly recommend this experience!
We really enjoyed our time with Nikan! He was thoughtful and really got to know us, and made sure we thoroughly saw all that we wanted to see. Shopping with my 17-year-old daughter is quite an undertaking, and he was soooo patient. We loved learning about the history of the markets, and appreciated him showing us which booths had hidden treasures.
Our guide Nur met us at our hotel and made the trip out to the flea markets very simple and manageable. She was engaging and interesting and we felt extremely comfortable walking the enormous and maze-like markets. After having been to Paris several times, I really wanted to see the famous markets. It is a tourist spot so we didn’t purchase much, but there were a few stalls that had legitimate vintage or antiques so it was worth the trip. Nur was fantastic and we’d definitely recommend her to anyone.
My guide was excellent. It was a pleasure to meet him and he was so helpful in guiding me. It was well worth the investment. He let me take my time and translated when I needed it.
Les Puces is a labyrinth of buildings full of treasures but it is very helpful to have a guide. While I have been there several times in the past I felt I really needed my guide to direct to things I wanted to see and missed on other visits! Thank you Nur!
Sunny, our guild, was excellent. He helped with the language barrier and the interactions with the sales clerks. He also let us know other things to do and see in the city and helps us navigate the metro for travelers who do not usually use subways. Great expirence and well worth the money.
Aliya is a wonderful guide for the Paris markets… it was our first time there and she took care to ensure she tailored our visit to our desires. She found the best jewelry for me! Highly recommend!!
It was great to see iconic antique market with absolutely unique pieces carefully curated with love and knowledge. So much inspiration and beauty. If you are looking for something specific or just fall in love with pieces as you go - this is a place for you!
Mehrdad gave us a wonderful tour of Les Puces de Saint Ouen! He helped us navigate both the metro as well as the market, keeping us safe from pickpockets and also helped with negotiating the best prices for our purchases. He even went the extra mile to give us other suggestions on what to see and do during our stay!
Merdad was super sweet, but you don’t really need a guide as there wasn’t a lot of information shared about the flea market. Also there isn’t a pickup and drop off by vehicle but instead an escort on the metro which was fine but we thought transportation was included.
Aliya was wonderful She contacted us the day before to find out what we wanted to see She contacted us the morning of and reminded us where to meet. She went into shops with us and translated for us and for the shop keeper We were given a historical narrative of the flea market too. So amazingly friendly.
Mehrdad was our guide and he was such a gentleman! He arrived on time, was extremely kind, informative, patient and attentive. Since he was basically taking me shopping at the Paris Flea market, he had to be patient while I shopped, and he was. Not only that, but Mehrdad was protective of me in a very busy place. He also negotiated every sale and made sure that I received the best price. Mehrdad never made me feel rushed while I shopped. He also quickly figured out what I was looking for and was able to guide me to the right vendors. I can’t recommend him enough!
Had a great tour with Aliyah! She met us at our hotel and helped us negotiate the metro. She organized our time to take us to the places where we would find what we really wanted to see and buy. I would highly recommend at guided tour of this area to maximize your experience.
Sanny was an excellent guide! He met me at my hotel as I had just arrived in Paris for the first time and didn’t know how to navigate yet. This is an excellent tour! I was seeking to explore the possibilities and did not have a clue where to start. He was so knowledgeable about where to go and how to navigate the different markets. I learned a lot and hope to come back to explore more on my own. I highly recommend this tour for your first time to the Paris markets! Sanny was so helpful and easy to talk to! It was a great experience. So worth it!
We had a fabulous experience touring the flea markets with James. He picked us up at our accommodation and helped us navigate the metro to the markets. He knew the markets so well, often already having a personal connection with the vendors! We got beautiful artwork, pins, and glass wear, and James negotiated the price down for everything we bought. We recommend you bring cash with you to the markets, as James was able to get us discounts if paying in cash. We cannot recommend this tour, and James specifically, highly enough. We can’t wait to tour with James again the next time we go to Paris!
Our visit was so fun and interesting bc of Nur. She was an absolute delight! Unfortunately, many of the shops were already closing down for the August holiday but we had some luck anyway. In addition, Nur was so willing to help us with follow up from a specific vendor if we didn’t receive the items we plan to purchase. Very willing to go above and beyond t help out!
I highly recommend this tour And Mehrdad! He is an excellent host of the city and the markets at Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. You can easily get lost in the market! However, having Mehrdad as your guide it is a dream. He helps to focus on the items your interested in and give you an overall taste of the markets!
We loved having a personal guide. His name is Mehrdad. Mehrdad bargained with the vendors for us so we felt we made good purchases. We had a great time and definitely recommend Mehrdad!
Our guide Mehrdad was so nice and very knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time, and we would book this tour with him again in a heartbeat; he was incredibly patient and tailored the tour our interests. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.
Sanny, our tour guide, was excellent! We had a lot of fun exploring all the antique stalls in the area.
A very unique experience and a great way to see outside the hustle of the heart of Paris and explore these vintage markets. Everything from hipster clothing, music and designer handbags and clothing!
Jon was amazing and so sweet and very informative. We even too the subway to the flea markets Thanks very much for the great day trip!
I really enjoyed our time with Elena and she was very knowledgeable. My only complaint was that I wished someone had told me beforehand that I would have been traveling by Metro especially on a busy Saturday morning.
Nice. Great guide. Lovely experience. Highly recommended. You need a guide for this experience or you will het list!
Our family had a great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. There was construction on the metro, leading to alternate travel routes, but our guide was able to navigate us to our destinations. We truly would have been lost without our guide! We enjoyed our tour and had a great time. Definitely a memorable experience.
We enjoyed our guide Polina! She met us at our hotel and rode the metro with us to the flea market. I would advise having a guide the first time you go. She was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. It was a great experience.
