Great

Christina_H, Apr 2024

Lovely friendly guide. Seemed to know their stuff. Walked at my pace and alway ready to answer any questions.

Great guide

Andy_T, Apr 2024

Lucien was very good, perfect balance of information, tips and humour. A great way to see a calmer, more engaging side of Paris

Excellent tour of the La Marais district.

Michelle_M, Apr 2024

Julia, the tour guide, was excellent! Very informative, and friendly. Gave us a lot of information about the history of the district.

Fascinating tour of a fascinating place

Cimberli_K, Apr 2024

Romain knows the history of the Latin Quarter and can weave the facts into a compelling story. We could have spent another hour learning.

Great guide, great neighborhood!

Joseph_Z, Apr 2024

We really enjoyed our guided tour of the Marais – our guide, Sara, showed us a wide range of sights that really brought the history of the neighborhood to life, and her easygoing personality made it seem more like being casually shown around by a super knowledgeable friend than like a canned, pre-planned tour! Such a great experience.

Loved our stroll through the Latin Quarter

amy_a, Apr 2024

We loved our tour and learned a lot about the Latin Quarter. Elyse was so nice and easy to understand. Would absolutely recommend if you are new to the area. My teens found it enjoyable as well!

Le Marais guided walking tour

Idan_G, Apr 2024

The guide was very knowledgeable and kind, she adjusted to our pace and explained nicely about all the interesting points and area.

Latin Quarter tour with Sarah

Exceptional and unexpected private tour

Alfred_L, Dec 2023

Exceptional tour that turned out to be private since we were the only couple. Our guide, Marianne [sp], was so knowledgeable and we learned so many things about the Latin Quarter. She brought the entire area to life. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you very much for your kind comments! We are delighted to read them and to share them with your guide (Marjolein, not easy to spell!) We very much appreciate your recommendation and are really happy to read that you had such a great time on your tour. We hope you are having a wonderful stay here in Paris and we wish you a very happy festive season!

Loved our fun tour of the Latin Quarter!

Cindy_G, Oct 2023

We had a great tour of the Latin Quarter with Paula. She was very energetic and lots of fun. We saw a number of great sites, heard great stories (and advice) and ended up learning a lot about the area. Definitely worth the price of the tour! Wholeheartedly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments! We have shared them with Paula and she is as happy as we are to read them! The Latin Quarter is a great neighbourhood if you know where to go, and now you know! We hope to welcome you again on future visits!

Great way to spend a free day in Paris

Martin_D, Oct 2023

Learned a lot about the Latin Quarter. My guide was informative and friendly. I would recommend a walking tour like this of a neighborhood if you have a few hours in the morning or afternoon.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much for your review, we are really pleased that you enjoyed your tour and we appreciate your recommendation! It's great to get to know a neighbourhood with someone who is not only an expert guide but also a local. No better way to learn about the history, architecture, sites and much more, but also to get those tips on the best restaurants or where to get your morning coffee like a local! We hope you had a wonderful stay here in Paris!

Anyone coming to Paris should take your tours

DonnW_Y, Sep 2023

Which tour? We’ve taken 2- both were outstanding- first was st. Germaine with Perrine- exceptional! Second was with Sara Marais with Sara- wonderful!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much for your comments, we are so happy to read that you took 2 tours with us and enjoyed them both! We will pass your comments on to Perrine and Sara. We hope you may return to Paris and take some more tours with us, we have plenty more to show you! We hope you had a fantastic time here in our beautiful city.

Walking Tour

Louise_L, Sep 2023

Great walking tour. Although the route can be strenuous for some it is worthwhile. Our guide was very informative and allowed us ample time to take photos. Would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much for your review and recommendation which we very much appreciate! We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour. We design our routes carefully so that they are as comfortable as possible, while ensuring that you don't miss anything. Please don't hesitate to tell your guide if you need a little rest time during the tour! I'm wondering if you were perhaps on the Montmartre tour, it is of course on a hill and there are cobblestones, future guests please take note to wear comfortable shoes! We hope you had a fabulous stay here in Paris!

Great walking tour.
