2-Hour Jewish History Guided Tour In Marais

Great experience

Great tour. Our guide, Benjamin, was friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job of painting the picture of the history of the Jewish community from antiquity to the present.

Excellent historical tour

Pierre was very knowledgeable about the history underlying the tour. He was very detailed and complete at each stop on the tour. Thr tour had a nice pace.

Super tour!

P.L. Was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and a fun person to learn from. The tour was super—from medieval days to current day in 2 hours. Thank you!!

Marais tour

Excellent and knowledgeable guide! The guides name was PL ( nickname) He gave us a lot of information and I learned alot

Don’t miss this tour!

We loved our tour. Benjamin was a great guide and gave us such interesting information. He told us about the history of the Marais from ancient times to the present.

From the Past to Present in Marais

Our guide, PL, was very knowledgeable about the Jewish history and the connections with France through the years. We learned about the dark times in Marais and about life in the neighborhood for Jewish families. The tour starts outside of Marais in historic Paris and moves into the area with a stop at the Shoah Memorial. Also visited the local shops and had a sampling of the fallafel. Visited a romanesque synagogue from the exterior. Tour is worthwhile allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of the history of this area and of the Jewish people.

heritage tour

We had a young man who was able to give us background and a history of the area. We truly enjoyed the tour

Jewish tour of Paris was Compelling

We had the distinct honor to take a tour with Pierre Louis of the Jewish community — past and present — in Paris. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced (and we’ve taken numerous small group and private tours over the years.) He was knowledgeable, articulate, responsive to questions. He brought the history to life. We highly recommend him and this tour.

2 hour Jewish history in the Marais.

Benjamin was our tour guide with Benoit assisting. Both were personable and informative and We learned a lot. Very good tour.

Disappointing

The guide gave us long speeches about the history of the Jews of Paris/ France but didn't really seem to know much about the area we were walking through. He wasn't really able to point out much about the area we were in so it was really more of a history lesson than a walking tour. If you know your modern history of the Jews then this isn't really the trip for you.

Mediocre tour; you won't learn much

The tour guide provided a lot of opinion, but not enough facts. While we walked all over the Jewish neighborhood of Marais, we were not given much information about how people lived, communal institutions, life, work, etc - neither then, nor now. The initial stops by the City Hall and the river were of little use to the topic. So, just mediocre. Try someone else.

Jewish History in Paris

We had a great guide and sincerely enjoyed the tour from past to present.we have been to Paris several times but this was a new and appreciated experience.

PL is the best

PL was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. It was our 3rd visit to Paris but we have learned many new views and facts about historical events.

Jewish walking tour

We thought that our tour guide Benjamin was so lovely and super smart. He was terrific and did his job well. I didn’t feel like it was a “jewish walking tour” of the marais. There was a lot more cultural things, that could have been intertwined into the tour. Synagogues for example

Interesting

Seeing the street with All the kosher restaurants and bakeries. Also the dryfess statue Guide was knowledgeable
