Itinerary
Stroll down the Marais’ historic, cobbled streets, stopping at cool and quirky boho boutiques that you wouldn’t normally find without a local expert. The heart of the alternative fashion scene is far from the high-end fashion houses, yet full of on-trend and original pieces you won't find in the city's other major shopping districts.

Really not great! An hour to get a dish, no bread... This is the first and last time we came...
Bonjour, Nous vous remercions d'avoir laissé votre avis et sommes navrés d'apprendre que vous n'avez pas apprécié votre expérience, cependant l'activité que vous avez réservée est un shopping tour et non un Gourmet tour, de ce fait aucune dégustation n'est incluse dans ce produit. Comme l'indique la description de cette activité. Bien cordialement, L'équipe OTA
Sabine was fantastic. It was a real shopping trip. Guerlain shop to but wonderful fragrances only available in France.
Hi Debe, Thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review of our Marais Shopping tour . We are thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Sabine and that this tour met your expectations. We always strive to improve the customer experience, so we hope to have you next time you come to Paris. Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing us. Best regards, OTA team
We experienced Hasselt as less charming than a few years ago. The small boutique shops have had to make way for large textile chains that can be found in abundance in every city. We found the catering industry in Hasselt to be very "dog-unfriendly" (in Brasserie "Drugstore" we received an unusual response), even in our hotel Radison****, which also profiles itself as "dog-friendly" on their website. Dogs allowed would be more appropriate. At the counter they said that they had already received a lot of complaints about it. What a difference with e.g. with a city like Maastricht. Furthermore, we had no complaints about the hotel. We had a very nice meal at "Artchoc". The Fashion Museum was a disappointment. I share this opinion with other visitors who were there at the same time.
Our guide was just lovely and we enjoyed her company. She was knowledgeable but the tour was not what we thought it would be. Not guides fault I believe
We not only found great places to shop but enjoyed hearing about the history of the place. We really enjoyed our time!
<p>This tour was not what we expected. The guide asked us what we wanted to do. Our expectation was that she would be familiar with special or unusual places. She did take us into a perfume shop, but this was like just having a third person shopping with you. I would change this tour to include something different, especially for the money.</p>
<p>It did not feel as much as an insider tour but rather the substitute guide (Caroline the regular guide was not available) was more of a shopping companion. We just went to a few stores to shop when I was expecting a slightly more behind the scene tour.</p>
<p>Guide was pleasant, knew the shop owners, helped interpret and was always available. Accommodated looking and trying on of clothes as we moved about. Willing to support what we wanted to do.</p>
<p>Dissapointing! I was expecting a french native. Also thought guide would have a rapport with the shops she took us to visit. She did not ask what kind of stores we were interested in-didn't learn from what we didn't like. So painful we left tour early-and was just us on tour!</p>
<p>Caroline was a fantastic guide! Once again, turned out to be just the two of us and she catered the tour to my 12 yr. old grandniece. She could not have been nicer..and an extra treat, stopped in a local teahouse for a break with a little treat! Perfect way to see the off the beaten path Paris.</p>
