Very different then most Paris walking tours. You get a good bit of Middle Ages France, but a specific story behind it. Stays focus on that, and the walking... read more area is probably a walk you wouldn’t do on most Paris tours. Recommend highly, and doesn’t take up your whole day.

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.

Medieval History comes alive. Paris is a fascinating city of beauty and stories. We all currently know the stories of the medieval Knights of Templar through fictional accounts such as... read more the book The Davinci Code. Thierry brings you to the very place where these Knights lived and died to describe the facts behind the legends. This experience is a must for anyone who is fascinated with the Knights Templar or Medieval Paris. It is a unique guide experience and Thierry tailors it to you. I am so glad to have taken this experience.

Thierry does a fantastic job explaining the complexities of politics and social history of the middle ages. As one can imagine, Modern Paris bears little resemblance to the city... read more that existed here in the 12th century, but Thierry was able to show us many structures and fragments of that time that are still visible, and easily overlooked by the casual observer. The tour was fascinating, and our guide was very knowledgeable on the subject. You may want to briefly review the time period and bring your questions because Thierry is very open to discussion and happy to share his expertise.

My husband and I walked through parts of Paris with Thierry and we loved it. From the start Thierry was welcoming and accommodating with our booking. The tour took... read more in so much detail that we would never have picked up on our own. I now have a greater appreciation for the history of the Knights Templar. I would definitely recommend a tour.

We had the chance to spend over two hours learning from Thierry, and this was absolutely wonderful! We were not really knowledgeable in the Knights Templars, but extremely curious... read more and eager to learn. Thierry was so patient with all my questions! He is a great teacher. I bought his recent book to learn more. He showed us unique details on churches and buildings, and we will certainly remember the facts he shared with us next time we visit Paris and walk by these places. I recommend this tour for anyone interested in a fascinating journey in the past!
