This visit was one of the best I’ve done as I got to meet really nice people, and learn about the history and fun facts revolving around this part of Paris. Sebastien is very passionate and knowledgeable; he has the answers to everything, and it’s a real treat to be spending time with him.

The tour was enjoyable and enriching. The guide was professional and personable. He had plenty of anecdotes to share. I highly recommend taking a guided tour with him. It was amazing 😊.
A very pleasant time. Sébastien guides you and shares insights about Paris, combining knowledge, simplicity, and a friendly manner.
Great tour with Seb as our guide! His explanations were very interesting and fun. I loved it and highly recommend booking a tour with him. Very professional!"
Verry good visit with him we are so happy ☺️
The visit with Sébastien is really nice and smooth, he gives you the right information and knowledge for each part of the visit, always available for you with easy exchange. Thank you Sébastien, I will surely continue the visits of Paris with you.
I had such a great time on this tour of Paris. Sebastian is the best tour guide. He was very warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and funny. He was always making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. He also had lots of fun facts and stories that kept things interesting, and you could really tell how much he loves Paris. That energy made the tour feel special. I liked that it was a mix of history, storytelling, and photo opportunities. The pace was just right, I never felt rushed, and it still felt exciting the whole time. As someone visiting Paris for the first time, I felt really comfortable and came away with so many good memories. I would definitely recommend a tour with Sebastian!
Incredibly informative and personal!! We had a great time!! Sebastian offered a very comprehensive tour that gave us insights we never would have known!
It was my first time in Paris so I wanted to learn more about the history of the city and Sébastien was well versed to fulfil that requirement. He was very well versed with the history of the architecture, the monarchy and kept me engaged with small facts throughout the tour. He also took his time to make sure I could take in all the sights and ensured that I had a wonderful time. His use of pictorial representations of the city through the years made the experience all the more better and gave a deeper insight into the city. If anyone is looking for a tour, I highly recommend going with Sébastien ☺️
The tour was fantastic, Sebastien is an amazing guide with so much knowledge. He was able to share facts and stories I feel we never would have heard otherwise, which was a real treat. He also recommended some brilliant restaurants local to where we were staying - really great food, affordable prices and brilliant service. I look forward to doing more tours during our next stay, highly recommend!
Sebastien was knowledgeable, charming and eager to share his knowledge of the neighborhood and it’s history. We recommend this tour!
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
What a wonderful experience ! Seb is a great guide he gave us a lot of tips and insights to better understand Paris, it’s history and districts ! I highly recommend him!
Sébastien is super friendly and made the tour extremely fun! We loved learning about the history of Paris on the Montmartre tour. Would recommend 100%
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!
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
My two girlfriends and I went on his tour of Montmartre! We had so much fun learning about the fun facts and history of many beautiful buildings. He was very kind and even offered us a list of fun restaurants and bars near our hotel.
I highly recommend SLL Paris Tours. It is my opinion tour guides are supposed to inspire love for history and culture, not just teach. I wanted to learn a little about the history of France and Paris on my trip. I usually research the facts on myself, but I was travelling with friends and decided to find something engaging. Sebastien was exactly that. A born Parisian with a singular knowledge of the cities history. He chronicles his facts with enthusiasm and humour. He knows fun facts about Paris that I would never have found on my own. The best part is he sticks to ‘human stories’ and doesn’t bore you with too many dates. Am unforgettable tour. P.S: He also had great local restaurants in mind. Don’t forget to ask him for advice!
Lucas and I had the best time, Sebastien was an awesome tour guide! Our favorite part was probably how informative the entire tour was, we learned so much about the history of the Marais. Definitely recommend to others, 10/10!!
I'm giving this tour a perfect 5 stars! From the get-go in Le Marais to the final stop at Musee Carnavalet, it was a pretty great journey through Parisian history. Each stop, like the Hôtel de Beauvais and Maison de Nicolas Flamel, was pretty great and surprisingly engaging and interesting content. Sebastien's passion and knowledge made the overall content feel alive and engaging. The tour is a must for anyone who loves history and wants to experience the essence of Paris beyond the typical tourist spots. I highly recommend it!
The guide really knew small fun facts about the neighborhood which made the visit super fun and interesting! You could really tell that he was on top of his stuff. Highly recommend !
Sebastian was a great tour guide, he had a lot a fun facts about Paris. It made our trip even better ! Thank you again, we hope to see you soon. We won’t hesitate to talk about you to our friends.
I took a solo trip to Paris. Booking a tour with Seb was great for visiting Paris with a great guide and other people of all ages (I'm 27 years old). I learned a lot about the legendary "Le Marais" district. It remains one of my best travel memories! great experience! I would recommend 100%!
The Marais tour was great. walking through the streets and learning about the history of Paris was fascinating. The weather was not great, but we were very touched by the fact that Sebastien lent us his umbrella to use during the visit.
Amazing tour of « Le Marais », with a fantastic guide providing you with lots of fun facts and anecdotes ! Would highly recommend to people willing to have genuine and fun visit of that part of Paris !
We had a great time during this visit, it was very interesting to learn more about this beautiful city, with the smile and good humor of our great guide. I recommend.
I had so much fun visiting Paris while learning about the history of the monuments, kings or even parks. I recommend Sébastien!
Visiting the Marais with Sebastien was fascinating. He was super friendly and knew a lot about the history of the area. I particularly liked the place des Vosges and Victor Hugo’s house. If you’re spending a few days in Paris, this is a must. It is one of the most beautiful parts of Paris.
Very beautiful day ☀️ in very good company 😊
