Vivien was amazing!! He gave us tons of facts about history, pointed out his favorite places in the neighborhoods we walked through; and even gave a map of Paris with his recommendations for other stops to make after the tour ended. Highly, highly recommend!! Thank you, vivien for an incredible tour!

Delighted in St. Germain

Rain rain go away

Margarita M, Aug 2019

It rained all day. In the morning to avoid the rain, we went the Pantheon in the Latin Quarter. Then we met with our tour guide, a young man very knowledgeable and kind. We went on the long walk he had planned and listened attentively as we all got soaked. When we reached Café de Flore on Blvd Saint Germain, we parted our ways to have some food. I highly recommend this’s tour.

Excellent tour

Sandra_B, Jul 2018

I loved this tour. We stopped for a dessert at a pastry shop that had the France colors on the awning which is a sign of esteem in Paris. Wonderful treat. I would have liked to sit to enjoy it though along with some water. I also was not aware the tour would stop at a different spot than it started which caused a little stress for me a directionally challenged person but I did find my way.

Fantastique!

Susan S, Oct 2017

My husband and I were lucky enough to get a tour guide to ourselves. Tim was great - a wealth of information and an incredibly nice guy to spend the afternoon with. We loved being able to walk the street of Paris, and learn more about the city's incredible history. And ending the tour with bread, cheese, pastis and petonque was perfect.

Rafael was a good tour guide. He provided a lot of information about the areas we visited and we all had a very interesting conversation with him. The charcuterie sample platter was good too. We did not play a game of petanque, so this should be removed from the description of the tour.

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon exploring Paris with our guide, Adele. As soon as we met her, we knew we would have a great day. We explored hidden streets and sampled local sweets. We can't wait to go back and visit the area again. Thank you Adele! Beth, Andy and Carmen (the dog).

MareeIrene_S, Nov 2016

What an amazing guide we had, his name is Arthur and I hope others will be lucky enough to have him as a guide as well. He is very well informed and was able to answer all our questions and showed us some amazing parts of the Latin Quarter we would have never have found by ourselves. Thank you Arthur.

Krisztina S, Oct 2016

We did this tour with a fun couple from Canada and we had a blast! Our tour guide, Tim, knows the city inside out and we relished the insider experience he provided us -- such as, showing us the old city walls in an underground parking garage, pointing out movie/literature/pop culture references throughout the Latin Quarter, chilling in the Luxemburg Park, and of course teaching us petanque as we sipped our pastis. It was an exhilarating tour and we enjoyed every bit. Merci Tim!
