The oldest Square in Paris, where we'll tell you some interesting stories
We'll bring you to the Jewish Quarter in Paris and explore the area. At the end of the street we will go to Ladurée for our second tasting.

Founded in 1862, it combines French tradition with luxury, offering beautifully crafted pastries in a refined, Belle Époque-inspired setting. A must-visit for a true taste of Parisian indulgence.

What a fantastic walking tour of Le Marais! The Dutch-speaking guide, Noah, shared the history of Paris and the fascinating stories behind this beautiful neighborhood in an engaging and accessible way. The delicious treats along the route made the experience even better. Thanks to Noah, I discovered Le Marais from a completely different perspective. After the tour, I spent the entire afternoon wandering through the neighborhood, exploring its charming streets and hidden corners. That alone says how inspiring the tour was. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!
Maria, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable. Her passion for history and the the importance of its impact on France today came across in the stories and explanations she offered. Maria offered lots of insight, I would highly recommend this walking tour.
We had a very good experience! Yesenia was very friendly and knew a lot about the history. There were 3 snacks Included + 15-20 min free time to check out the food market. It felt very lowkey (not one big information bomb) and it was nice just walking around. We got a quick overview of the history of the french revolution and some extra fun facts. Everything was very easy going. I definetly recommend!
This tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Maria, was wonderful. We felt so comfortable with her. She truly educated us while making the experience incredibly fun. What a great combo of history, culture and food! Would very highly recommend it.
Valeria was very friendly and knowledgeable. She led us through the busy streets of Le marais with ease and we’ve left her with us having gained a much better appreciation for this area of Paris
I would say this is mislabeled as a ‘food tour’. This is a historical tour of the area with a little bit of food. The historical information was great. However, I was wanting to eat lots of food with history on the side. We only had 3 items. Other food tours I have done in other cities we had at least 6 items, if not more.
Overview of the place de la Republique history and area of the Marais. Juliette was very knowledgeable and treated us to 3 delicious tastings in the area.
Juliette was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had wonderful tastings and learned a lot about the area as well as the history of the food we sampled.
We had a really nice walk and talk tour with Robert in the Marais district. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and made it fun as well. We would definitely recommend.
Kos was a great guide. He is knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. The food snacks were great. We will definitely continue to explore this neighborhood!
I so thoroughly enjoyed this tour! We explored places I walk past every day as a now-local but never knew anything about and in the process I discovered new details, stories and insights into life in France as well as how it came to be what it is in Paris! Thank you for being so thoughtful in providing the tastings - it definitely enhanced the sensory experience of it all and made for good bonding and laughs amongst the group! Robert is kind and welcoming in his approach and full of quirky facts that were fun to share in! Merci!
This tour truly enhanced my experience of Paris. Exploring Le Marais with Robert as our guide made the neighborhood come alive. Now, as I walk its streets, I find myself remembering the stories and little details I learned along the way. I got to try unique, fun experiences that felt deeply connected to the area and the city. Robert was an incredible guide and brought everything to life with so much care and knowledge. It was a beautiful balance of history, culture, cuisine, storytelling, and sightseeing, the kind of tour that stays with you long after it ends.
It was a really great experience in Le Marais! After this tour I also did the Montmartre tour with the same company and really loved it! Definitely going to book another tour when I’m coming back to Paris!
We enjoyed a wonderful fun and fact filled tour of Le Marais with our amazing host Robert topped off with some delicious authentic snacks. Robert was so kind he even arranged a birthday cake for me. Please support Robert and book more tours with him as you won’t regret it 😊
This was a well prepared tour. Robert was well versed in the history of the area & we fell right into all the stories. In the first 15+ mins before you start walking, you learn about some French rulers & history, which helped enrich our experience & actually supported all the activity we saw happening in the Republique square that day. The tastings were exceptional! We enjoyed all the stops & especially visiting the church & market! There was a little extra surprise w/an “I-spy” game we played as we went along which kept us alert & engaged. Great tour & Robert was just an amazing human!
Me and my Wife had a really great time and the tour was so good! I definitely recommend Robert to go on tour! Looking forward to go back to Paris!
It was a great tour - Robert was a great guide! We loved seeing the area and learning the history about it.
Great guide, we have lots of fun - lovely food - we like that experience despite the rain 😁 Will surely book again for different part of Paris
One of the best walking tours I have ever had. It was a great mix of history, tasting Parisian food and walking / pausing. Very duable for kids as well. Highly recommend the tour. Really felt that I have left Paris with great knowledge about Paris / France.
It was a wonderful morning with Robert. A great guide, and more importantly, a kind and generous soul. I would recommend this tour.
Robert, our friendly host, showed us a part of the city in a relaxed way and let us taste local delicacies. It was a great afternoon that I would highly recommend to anyone!
"Such an amazing experience! The tour through Le Marais was fantastic. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the neighborhood, which made the tour feel really special. It wasn’t just a walk, but also a delightful journey for the taste buds. We got to try some local treats like a delicious crêpe and freshly baked petit pain au chocolate, and even sampled some classic French cheeses. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore both the history and the culinary delights of Le Marais. Definitely five stars!"
Really worth discovering a neighborhood like this. Small groups. Talking, walking, assignments, experiments, looking... many senses are stimulated
It has also provided us with a beautiful hike. Lots of beautiful and interesting stories in Dutch! We enjoyed her enthusiasm and excitement! A real recommendation!!
What fun this was!! We even booked another tour when we were already in Paris. Very nice that the guide is Dutch so that is nice with our kids. Fun explanation with surprising facts and 3 tastings in between. Highly recommended!!
We recently did a walking tour in Paris with guide Robert, and it was a really fantastic experience! From the beginning he captivated us with his enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humour. His explanation was not only informative, but also very pleasant and smoothly told, which really brought the history of Paris to life. What made this tour extra special was how accessible and involved Robert was. He took the time to answer questions and also provided fun, lesser-known facts that you won't find in a guidebook. An absolute must for anyone who wants to discover Paris in a fun, educational and personal way. Thanks for this great experience!
Super nice tour with Julliete!!! Tasted nice things and also had a lot of info about our further stay in Paris.. recommended!!! Also fun for the kids with a kind of treasure hunt during the tour!!
We had a super fun , informative and tasty walk with Juliette. Very nice to get to know Paris better through a piece of history and fun stories!
Robert led us through the Marais district. Very interesting to hear backgrounds of important monuments and to discover funny finds in the streets. In between tasting local specialties made it complete for me. Think these walks will appeal to a diverse audience, because Robert can fine-tune his information and is a very pleasant guide. Highly recommended!
Last week Robert showed more than sixty 4 havo students around Le Marais in three shifts. It was amazing in a word. What a good tour guide Robert is. From beginning to end, he held the students' attention. With fun anecdotes and personal attention he managed to create a very good atmosphere. If we go to Paris again next year we will at least book a walk with Robert
Very animated walk with lots of facts, tasty tastings and good guide. We feel like we have gotten to know Le Marais a bit better. Highly recommended!
Super nice tour of Le Marais. Robert is an enthusiastic guide who can tell you many stories. Also ate tasty snacks during the tour. Recommended!
Fun, interesting tour with some tasty snacks. Learned a lot about the history of Paris. Also got nice tips from the guide.
Super fun tour! Although I already knew le Marais, thanks to Robert’s facts I learned many new things. Walking through the neighborhood, combined with stops for buying food/snacks (not mandatory), was perfect. Definitely recommended
A great fun and informative walk with tour guide Robert through Le Marais. We really enjoyed this tour with nice information and tasty snacks. Robert took the time to answer the questions from the group and also kept it fun for the children. Along the way also received many tips. Very successful.
A nice walking tour through le Marais. Robert the guide could tell very nicely about the history and the neighborhood. He did this in a very fun and interactive way. And very tasty tastings. He also had good tips about shops , restaurants and sights that we could visit ourselves after the tour. It was very rewarding.
Robert, with you as your guide, the walk through the Marais district was a success! Because of your stories and the specific French delicacies, the district came out even better. Highly recommended! Thanks also for the nice testaurant tips! Team Zeist
We had a great afternoon! Robert talked enthusiastically about the cozy district of Le Marais! Very nice to hear the facts about the neighborhood and to learn more about the French revolution. In addition, the delicacies were delicious. I absolutely recommend the tour!
Fantastic tour of the historic district of Le Malais. Tourguide Robert knows a lot about the history of France and in particular the French Revolution. In addition, Robert will let you taste the best refreshments in Paris with a fun, funny or interesting story. Highly recommended!
What a fun tour this was! We learned a lot about Le Marais and Paris itself. And the local delicacies we ate were delicious! This will take you to places you wouldn't otherwise go. Our tour guide Robert was enthusiastic, interested and knew how to tell lots of fun facts. In short: as far as we are concerned, an experience you don't want to miss!
