This tour truly exceeded my expectations. Thierry is passionate and eloquent; his knowledge of the history of both the Knights Templar and France is extensive but also, detailed. I enjoyed... read more the pace of the tour and never felt as if my questions and comments were unwelcome. Thierry will take you to magical, religious, political, and historical places while fluently explaining how these areas are connected to the mysterious Knights Templar. Please note: the tour does require a fair amount of walking and tolerating of crowds in some areas. However, if you are a fan of the esoteric and/or historical and would prefer to escape the touristy areas of Paris then you should definitely book this tour. Lastly, Thierry personally assisted me with navigating to the Lourve at the end of the tour and because of his expertise I was able to arrive in enough time to avoid the crowds and see ALL of the exhibits I wanted to before closing. Merci beaucoup!

This tour was AWESOME. Quite possible the highlight of a great trip to Paris. Thierry braved the 42 degree heatwave in Paris with us to take us on a very... read more interesting tour of sites of interest of the Knights Templar and we learned so so so much. He was clearly so passionate about the topic and really clearly enjoyed teaching us. We had so many questions and he answered all of them with good humour and wonderful detailed information. I had been to Paris many times, and still learned so much about even big monuments like Notre Dame, and my boyfriend who had never been to Paris found this a wonderful and unique introduction to the city’s less well known history. We stopped for a drink part was through and had so much fun just chatting with him. Ask him about his book about letters from the war!! So cool!! I would REALLY recommend this if you love history! Thanks Thierry!

I had a great experience on my Knights Templars tour with Thierry. He was very engaging and informative. Of the many things he pointed out and explained, some... read more were tucked away in the backstreets of Paris. Others were right out in the open but were the type that you could walk by a hundred times and not notice. It really made you appreciate that so many things in this city have a fascinating backstory to uncover.
