Loved learning little innuendos and stories also connecting archaic 15 century to other centuries, going up to present. - Jill was filled with historic and many delightful stories. We could hear everything she said. I felt she could’ve tightened the information. She seemed to go over the same info too many times, but she was a good storyteller.

Lots of history, lots of passion - Passionate about the history, and the layers of life. It was a fast two hours, as we poked and prodded around the district

Extraordinary Guide - Jillian is highly informed about the location and is quite thorough and generous. At the onset, she discusses your expectations of the tour and then follows through. We learned, we laughed and we cried. A most memorable experience for our last full day of a week's stay in Paris. I would have bypassed some of our other activities if I knew Jillian's availability. She is a gem !

Loved our Marais tour with Jill! - Jill was fantastic—lively and incredibly knowledgeable. She tailored the tour around our interest in the Jewish quarter and took us on a journey through time, weaving together stories from different eras in such an engaging way. It felt like walking through history with a friend who really knows her stuff. Highly recommend!

Great tour on queer and Jewish community - Jill my guide was very knowledgeable and full of fun historical and cultural facts regarding the Parisian queer/LGBTQI+ and Jewish community. We walked to important landmarks and she even took me to a gluten free eatery since I was gluten free! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about and seeing first hand the historical aspects of these two important communities of Parisian society.

Jill is a fantastic tour guide! - Jill is an amazing tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and funny- when we told her we were Jewish she tailored the tour to our interests, which was much appreciated! Jill answered all of our questions (about the Marais district and just about Paris in general) and went absolutely above and beyond- showing us things we would’ve never found on our own. Jill generously gave us extra time as well, which made the tour feel even more personable and memorable. Merci beaucoup!
