Daria made the afternoon a delight. She made what could have been very overwhelming experience to a curated view of the markets. We had many good finds that I never would’ve seen without her. Highly recommend!
Daria was AWESOME. She asked me what I was hoping to find on our tour and then specifically took me around to the vendors who would have what I wanted... she also had established relationships with the vendors we met with so she knew who was willing to negotiate, who was firm on price, etc. She ended up showing me another one of the fantastic markets that we didn't have time to go through but she thought I would enjoy (she was right!) Daria was kind and patient, with a thorough knowledge of the history of the markets. I would have been intimidated to do this alone, but after her tour, I would be confident enough to go back on my own. I highly recommend this experience!
Going to the Paris antique flea market had been a bucket list item for me and thanks to Daria it is now checked off and I have some great finds to remember it by. Daria did a great job of helping to navigate the markets, show me what I told her I was interested in and even more. I wouldn’t have done this without a guide- and she was wonderful. Highly recommend!
Daria was great! So knowledgeable- we toured 3 markets- she found the things each of us were looking for. She was easy going- gave us time to look around - didn’t rush us but kept us moving! Made food recommendations for after the tour. This was a bucket list thing for me and I’m thrilled with my finds!!!
It was a wonderful experience that could last for days if you wanted it to. Daria was an amazing tour guide. Highly recommend!
Excellent guide. Great experience I would highly recommended to anyone that likes to treasure hunt. A must if going to Paris
Great for BASIC understanding of the different market locations and what types of treasures you can find there!
I met up with Daria as the husband and kids found something else to do and enjoyed a couple hours shopping and learning about the area by focusing on 3 of the sections (there are 12!). Daria, myself, and one other traveler got to explore vintage scarves, silver, artwork, and admire things I wish I could bring home such as gorgeous furniture. This area is an absolute MUST for antiquers, thrifters, and lovers of all things vintage. Pricey but one of a kind indeed. Prepare to stay a few hours after the tour to continue shopping. Daria was great- highly recommend!
Wonderful! Highly recommend! Daria was super knowledgeable and helped guide us to particular areas that we might be interested in so there was no time wasted on our trip! Daria was very nice and I highly recommend!
Daria is the perfect guide in every way. It was an amazing antique shopping experience!! Great value in saving money and time.
