Gelsomina kicked off our time in Paris. She was very warm and knowledgeable. She began with the history of the Luxembourg garden, and seamlessly transitioned to the architecture of Paris. She took care to get to know the travel plans for our party, going so far as to provide suggestions for next year’s trip. She was an awesome host and would definitely recommend her for the historic tour.

This was a very good to her and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to find out more about the Latin district. It turns out we were late by about 30 minutes and we contacted Andrea and he picked up the phone every time and helped get us there. went into a restaurant and walked on some narrow streets, that Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon, Bonaparte, and many other French dignitaries at the time went to. We also went into Luxenberg gardens and toured it with taking a look at the French Senate as well. Well done.

Wan was a wonderful guide, showing us corners of Paris we didn’t know about. I’ve been to Paris often but it was still worth the tour, discovering many different angles to love this city even more. Thank you!

Wan was able to navigate our group of 4 kids( ages 7, 8 10,11 )and 4 adults very well on a hot Paris summer afternoon for a Latin quarter guide during peak tourist season . She took the time to explain things to the kids and answer any questions and made it interesting for the kids so they are not bored . She is easy to talk to and a wonderful guide . I’d highly recommend .if you have a limited time in Paris localGuides are the best and I’d pick Wan ! Also communicates quickly and clearly during the booking process.

Iza was a professional and fun guide, showing me exactly the sites I requested in the more casual style I prefer (Latin Quarter and Sainte Germaine). She was highly knowledgeable and gave me lots of ideas about where to eat, where to shop and how to get around the city. I appreciated that the tour was personalized to my needs as a solo traveler. I felt more confident getting around the two neighborhoods we toured after being with a resident Parisian. I highly recommend this type of touring over the large group tours I saw roaming Paris. Iza was a delight and fun to hang out with for a few hours in Paris. I'd highly recommend her for future tours!

I had a wonderful day exploring the Latin Quarter. I am traveling solo but during the tour it felt like i was with a friend. I learned about the history as well as got a better sense of the city in general. I also received fabulous recommendations for the rest of the time I’m here. Thank you

Lucien is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and took us on routes that we never could have imagined for ourselves. The man is an endless fountain of information. I believe if we were to have extended the tour to two weeks and never left the confines of the old walls of Philips Auguste, he would not have run short on interesting stories. I would highly recommend making him a part of you visit to Paris.

the guide was friendly and personable, however, his knowledge, unfortunately from our point of view was too general/common which anyone who took the most basic world history course in high school or college would have known. It did not feel like an "off the beaten path" tour giving us information that only a local could present, although the highlight was a nice street we did not know about which is Rue Mouffetard.

Had a wonderful morning with Andrea! He is a true Parisian at heart and is passionate about the city. When he heard this was my first time in Paris he quickly adapted his tour and customized it so that I could get the most of the tour and orient myself in the city. Had a wonderful morning talking about art, philosophy, architecture and all things Paris! Genuinely happy to have made his acquaintance and I highly recommend him as a tour guide!
