This was an incredible tour! We highly recommend it.
Ehran was a lovely guide. We had a great orientation to the market.
Erin was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about every aspect of the flea markets, making it so easy to navigate our way around this huge market area!
Great tour guide! Friendly and well versed in the flea market. So enjoyed Erin!
Erin was a fantastic guide. Great way to get an overview of the markets.
Erin was absolutely amazing as our tour guide!! From the moment we found her, smiling and dressed all in vintage, we knew it would be a wonderful experience. She did a fabulous job explaining the market while providing history to us. I had been to the market twice before, but having Erin guide us gave me a new appreciation for the area. I’m looking forward to going back for the fourth time! Thank you Erin!!
We met Erin our guide at Le Recyclerie. She was Australian and dressed in vintage clothing so we knew right away she loved hunting for antiques. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour that day and she tailored the tour to our interests and abilities, greatly appreciated because we both walk with canes. We could only see about a third of the marché but we hit a lot of the highlights while learning about the history of the market. At the end when we were hungry she directed us to a nice Bistro and recommended some dishes that fit our diet needs and hit the spot.
Our guide Erin really went the extra mile to make our tour special and tailored to each of our interests! We loved her vintage fashions and even ended the tour with a little jazz song. Such a wonderful experience and definitely the highlight of our trip so far!
Thank you for your feedback and appreciation! Our Flea Market Tour is really a special activity, full of spontaneity and fun. We all have a weak spot for it in the company. And Ehran is such a talented guide (...and singer!). We are really glad she made your experience unforgettable! Thanks for choosing One Journey :)

Wonderful tour with Erin today. She gave us a lot of interesting history and asked us what we were looking for, then walked us through the parts of the market that she thought we would find most interesting - and she was right! Great experience, highly recommend. Thank you, Erin!
