Dear Black Paris Tours Travelers ~
We mourn worldwide deaths, illness, fear, worry, uncertainty and the shut down of international travel due to the worldwide spread of Coronavirus. We have suspended all Black Paris Tours for the next 30 days or until such time as it is determined safe to move through the world again.
We have been overwhelmed by calls and emails from travelers in need of assistance over the last two weeks. We are now in the process of canceling tours, rescheduling tours and/or issuing refunds. Please be aware we must deduct a 20% handling fee. These are mandatory fees we have been charged by our Rezdy scheduling and PayPal service.
To circumvent these fees, we are offering our guests the option of holding their payments “on the books”, allowing BPT travelers to reschedule for a future date...FOR UP TO TWO YEARS.
This option will apply even if there is a BPT price increase during the next two years. Your payment will have already been made! Please let us know which option you prefer and bear with us as we move through the refund/reschedule process with thousands of guests. We hope to have it completed within the next two weeks.
When this is all over remember:
1. Travel is the one thing you can spend your money on and come out richer!
2. Black history in France began thousands of years before enslavement!
Fear not! Wash your hands, be kind to each other and know that this too shall pass.

Black Paris Tours® takes you to the hang outs, haunts and places made famous by African American musicians, soldiers, writers, artists, historians, celebrities, and political exiles. From the 1800s to World War One, and from the days of the Harlem Renaissance, to the 1970s, they came to Paris fleeing racism in America. Along the way, they joined the list of the world's most famous Black expatriates and visitors.
A special thank you to Blues Man Mighty Mo Rodgers for allowing us to use his "Black Paris Blues" on the videos & website!
