Awesome tour day! - The best tour our family took while in Paris! My family ranged from 12 yrs old - 81 yrs old, and Mr. Knight took care of them all. My granddaughter loved the book store and the sales lady gave her several books in both French and English. For us to stand in the same place as Malcom X and Martin Luther King was exciting. My degree is in History, so this tour was especially awesome for me. I learned so much! I was that I would have taken this tour the day after we arrived in Paris because Knight should us how to use the subway. This is a must tour for anyone. I will be back to do this tour again, and to visit some of the restaurants on my own.

Superb! - Simply said, this is a must do tour for any and all African Americans visiting Paris as it’s truly a day of eye opening facts and insight on the struggles, as well as successes, of life in Paris versus the US for people of color. Knight, the owner and tour guide, has assembled an extraordinary portfolio of sites and shops around Paris who lend credence and authenticity to the historical information presented throughout the tour. It is a day packed with valuable perspectives and visits to places and parts.of Paris that you never hear about or that you would know to go to without this tour. You’ll truly be surprised at how many stars and celebrities you know or have heard about who moved from the US to Paris to follow their dreams and develop or expand their success. I fully expect that Knight will become one of them and highly recommend spending one day on your visit to Paris to take this tour. We had been to Paris twice before and had no intention of going again since we thought we’d seen everything until we heard about this tour from our niece who had taken it with her college group and raved about it. Believe me, the third time was a charm and well worth the investment.
