Myself and my parents had the pleasure of enjoying the above tour with Arthur on Saturday 3rd September 2016. It was "une journée parfaite" - beautiful weather, the most beautiful city in the world.....and the best tour guide ever! It turned out to be just the 3 of us booked on the tour that day - so we basically had our own private tour guide! Such a prospect may have been daunting for other guides - when normally the groups are bigger - but Arthur is a true professional and he took it all in his stride. Strolling through the streets of Paris at a gentle pace was just ideal for my parents - they love to take their time. The whole day was simply fantastic: coffee in the Jardins de Luxembourg; interesting historical facts and anecdotes; hidden gems and places off the beaten track; the "secret car park wall"; and of course the "pièce de résistance" in Place Dauphine - food, wine, pastis and pétanque! All in the company of our excellent guide - who felt like a friend to us. We saw a whole different side to Paris - and Arthur kept us entertained the entire time. He is extremely knowledgeable and is able to adapt the tour to your needs. We had already visited some of the places before (such as Notre Dame) so Arthur had no problem working out an itinerary which allowed us to venture elsewhere. And our guide is also a world champion! We learned all about the sport of "footbag" and Arthur was able to demonstrate his skills. That was a first for all of us - to be sitting enjoying some food & wine with a world champion - c'était superbe! Arthur - I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful day we had. I really appreciate you spending so much time with us - I know that you went way over the normal allowance - but we also broke Tim's record! You are the embodiment of the Paris Urban Adventures motto: For us, in Paris, it was truly the "Best. Day. Ever."

"It was like having a friend of a friend in Paris. Understanding Paris requires the understanding of its history which was passionately conveyed by Arthur. Further, he linked the history into Modernity. He showed us the interconnectedness of history, politics, law and architecture: Therefore explaining the social evolution of Parisians. He explained the importance of eye contact, greetings, acknowledgements and departing expressions became safe ground while we navigated other confusions. We avoided everyday social faux pas heeding his advice". Take his tour! Martin and Anne

Adele did a wonderful job showing off a city she loves. We saw many passageways and neighborhoods we would never have found on our own. Her English was excellent as well.

I loved the tour of The Marais and Adele was the best tour guide I've ever had, really making this a personable experience - like walking around the city with a knowledgeable friend!

Mr. Edwin D., Paris, 13 Aug 2016

An interesting tour that was also a lot of fun. Our tour leader, Alix, was knowledgeable and provided a lot of information, at the same time as making it an enjoyable experience. We particularly enjoyed the petanque and wine!

Mrs. Joan M., Paris, 22 Jun 2016

This was an interesting walking tour covering a variety of aspects of Parisian life. Loved the special macaron, and our stop for cheese tasting. This was a great opportunity for the members of the group to interact. Alix was an enthusiastic tour leader and knows her city very well. We are very happy to recommend this Paris Urban Adventure.

Adele was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. I also booked it the night before so I was super thankful that it was easy and available for me at the last minute.

Mrs. Stefanie D., Paris, 06 Jun 2016

Our guide on the Marais Food tour was Adele. Adele is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a very good story teller. She loved showing us around her favorite spots. One could feel how much Adele loves Paris she loves Paris and enjoys telling us about its history and present. The tour was small and Adele was able to make a personal connection with each one of us. It was very nice to meet people working in the local shops we visited. Everyone was nice and I cannot wish for a better introduction to Marais.

Secret Paris Tour is a tour for those who like to see behind the scenes and discover Paris with a local. It is not so much about dates and famous figures, but about the beauty, spirit and charm of Paris and its people. Our tour in Paris has been fun and a great source of inspiration for discoveries of our own. À absolument ne pas manquer :)
