Jewish History Tour of Le Marais

This tour was the true highlight of nearly 3 weeks spent in and around Paris. When I think about what I hope for in a walking tour it generally includes hoping it will be fun and insightful and increase my perspective of what I am seeing as a tourist. I’ve never been on a walking tour that also inspired and humbled me so. That connected me with a collective history far greater than I could have imagined while also filling me with pride and sorrow and laughs and elevating my perspective of my own sense of identity. And that was before the falafel and tefillin!!! Karen is hilarious and brilliant in how she shares all the many ways Jewish people have innovated and helped create the modern France and world while also paying deep respect to all the suffering and persecution that is sadly intertwined with being Jewish. This tour is a must for everybody who comes to Paris!!! -- with gratitude... Alec

We loved Karen's Jewish walking tour of Le Marais. The tour was insightful, informative, and enjoyable. Karen expertly provided historical context, and with her great sense of humor, created a truly memorable experience. Highlights of the tour included vivid examples of Jewish history and a visit to one of the oldest synagogues in Paris. Lunch at L'As du Fallafel was fantastic. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Karen was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and personal. Her presentation was relaxed and factual. She knew so many local people and got us into a special restaurant without us waiting on line. Her organization was perfect

Love to share our experience from today’s Marais history tour with Sight Seekers Paris. Our guide Karen was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly attentive. The way she structured the tour made us forget our fatigue, as we were completely absorbed in the stories she told, each one leaving a lasting impression. Although the tour was scheduled for 3.5 hours, she generously spent nearly 5 hours with us, and the time just flew by.
