How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
See the playground for Paris's most trendy – the crooked, cobbled, historical lanes that are alive with bars, restaurants, vintage shops, and jewelry boutiques. But there's more to Le Marais than gorgeous "I-woke-up-like-this" locals queuing for pita at L'As du Fallafel.
With your host to lead the way, you'll explore its thriving art scene at upmarket galleries, amble through Musée Picasso, and visit iconic sites like Rue de Montmorency, where Nicolas Flamel's house – the oldest in Paris – stands.
Stumble across the district's hidden secrets, like the utterly picturesque Passage de l'Ancre, where a quaint boutique sells umbrellas and walking sticks, and relax with a coffee or a glass of wine at a classic bistro. Très chic.

We had a great tour with Elli! We walked the Marais area as Elli pointed out highlights and iconic places, buildings, and statues. She pointed out great places to eat and drink as well as educate us about the cultural make up and history of the area. My wife is a photographer. Elli knew this because of a questionnaire we filled out before we arrived in Paris. Elli also contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out what we wanted to do and see on this tour. She took us to and pointed out places that would be great to photograph and patiently waited until we finished taking photos. Elli is very knowledgeable and educated but very easy to talk to and communicate with . Because of Elli we absolutely got the maximum value from this tour!

Our private tour of Le Marais with Come S. was the highlight of our trip to Paris. He was so knowledgeable and pleasant. He shared history, culture, fun notes about the neighborhood, taking us to locations we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended!
