He was well known in all communities which created a good vibe. LOTS of walking. Please do not consider if you have any issues. Listen to the guide! Do not film people without consent.

Great Tour! - This is a really nice tour if you want to learn some black history in regard to France and see some black culture during your visit. It was easy to find the meetup location with an uber. The meetup restaurant had tasty breads to try and I was able to also enjoy a cappuccino. The guide was very personable and also very knowledgeable. I had a great time with him. I purchased nice items at the tour stops. I enjoyed the food at the restaurant which was the last stop on the tour. This is a walking tour. So, come prepared wearing comfortable shoes. We took the metro several times and also the public bus. It allowed for a more local experience which was exactly as I had hoped.

Culture, Flavor and Memorable Moments - This tour was all that and then some! Knight was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful history lesson along the way. We had the chance to taste authentic cuisine while supporting local businesses, which made the experience even more special. From riding the metro to the bus, Knight made sure we knew what to expect and what NOT to do while using the public transportation.😄 There were three of us visiting Paris to celebrate our birthdays, and the highlight was a surprise slice of sweet potato cake—complete with a candle and a “Happy Birthday!” Such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for culture, flavor, and memorable moments!

Amazing experience in the culture. - The Black Paris Tour was an unbelievable experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our tour guide Knight really brought the black cultural experience to life for us, he was super knowledgeable, effortlessly sharing his insights with facts and vivid details. Although the tour was 6 hours, it didn't feel like it because it was well organized keeping you engaged the entire time. This is definitely a must do when you're in Paris.

Black Paris through a clear lens - I flew to in Paris for a party but I was advised by my neighbor advised to do a Black Paris Tour. I read the tour itinerary and the reviews of Knight/ Tour Guide and knew this was it!! He's so patient, well versed, and knowledgeable about the history of the black diaspora in Paris. This is a true value. It's worth every penny and more. Thanks Knight, we loved it.

Knight was the best guide! - A friend and I spent our first day in Paris on the “A Day in Black Paris” tour. Knight was our guide. He was so pleasant, thoughtful, knowledgeable, informative, and fun! I would love to bring others to Paris to come take the tour again. This was the best imaginable start to our trip!

Very informative and clear presentation and descriptions of Black Paris. - It was more than I expected, Knight was very insightful about what I wanted. The tour provided that and more. My main objective was to gain first-hand views of where Americans have stayed and frequented in Paris. Knight's knowledge of the entire Black culture in Paris gave me something I didn't expect.
