Amazing! Ricki's knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Meeting and listening to Rickie and her assistant was invaluable to us during our stay. I recommend this tour to anyone going to Paris. More

My 72 year old father and I took Ricki's tour on our 3rd day in Paris and we wished we had taken it on our 1st day.When we initially met with Ricki, she taught his some french words, customs, and how to navigate the city on buses and in taxis. She explained how the city was divided. All of this... More

I highly recommend The Black Paris Tour for anyone that goes to Paris. It served as a foundation for all the other tours I took while in Paris. I was in Paris for 6 days and I took the tour on the 3rd day of my stay. Meeting and listening to Rickie was enlightening and informative.The depth of her knowledge... More

I took the Black Paris Tour towards the end of my 5 day stay in Paris. Ricki is incredibly erudite and personable - the tour was pitched at the right level and I learnt a great deal during the hours I spent on the tour. The tour was tailored so that we made good use of our time - we... More

Ricki's tour is for anyone who wants to learn some rich history and facts about Paris. After being with her for one day, we were able to get around on the subway and go anywhere we wanted in Paris. After the Black Paris Tour we took one of the more commerical tours and I must say that Ricki shared much... More

Be prepared: Ricki walks very fast! Now, we understand why: There is so much to learn and see, and she packs the tour with information and sites. Not only does Ricki discuss prominent people and important events, she gives detailed reference information so you can continue your education later. We took copious notes during our tour. Several topics she discussed... More

Ricki is an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge of the City and Black history to share. She is also a good facilitator keeping the group members involved by not talking at us. This was the best day I had in my wonderful short Paris stay. I only wish I had done the Black Paris Tour the first full... More

This is the second time my parents have taken my siblings and I on the Black Paris Tour. I really loved it! I now feel comfortable traveling around Paris because Ricki showed us how to use the metro system. It's amazing to hear the history and it's a great feeling to be walking the same streets that people like Frederick... More

Ricki and I started our friendship online and via phone an entire year before my group hit the streets of Paris. So it was wonderful to spend a day with my "old" friend Ricki who was a most gracious hostess during our visit to the City of Light. While this was not my first visit, it was for my three... More

We only had two days to spend in Paris, and from the outset, we knew we would spend time with Ricki. She met us at our train, and took us all over on the bus ... pointing out interesting sights along the way. Ricki is a welcome addition to any visitor from a foreign land, as she segues from English... More
