Best Way To Experience "Black Paris"!!

Cathy_C, Dec 2024

The tour was very informative and fun. Knight was very knowledgeable . And the food was yummy! I will definitely recommend this tour.

Best Tour Ever!

Adrian_C, Dec 2024

Learning about the contributions of French citizens of African descent and also those from the US. The back stories were very interesting and the tour was well organized. Traveling by subway and bus provided an authentic experience of Paris. Visiting Chateau Rouge was wonderful! I loved the shops and vibrancy of the area.

Amazing information!

Andrea_R, Dec 2024

Knight was very knowledgeable about the history and contribution of black immigrants to French culture. We were lucky to have a professor of history impart his knowledge in the manner in which he did. I felt like I was in a classroom absorbing amazing information. He also gave us some basic understanding of the French language. He would support his words with amazing photos and videos.

Long Worthwhile Tour - Don’t Miss It!

Chris_J, Dec 2024

This tour packs a ton of content, metro stops, and neighborhoods into the 5 hours, but I highly recommend staying the whole time. It’s all curated by someone who clearly loves being part of our culture and sharing that knowledge with us. Despite the lack of media representation showing Black Paris to the rest of the world, one thing is clear. We are everywhere!

Awesome tour!

Beth_W, Dec 2024

Knight was very informative. Knowledgeable and patient answering all of our Parisian questions, even those that had nothing to do with the tour!

We learned so much great tour!
