Great tour of The Latin Quarter by Lou. She really knew her stuff and was much better experience in a small group at a pace that worked well. Note: double check the meeting point as the link on Viator was wrong and caused some confusion.
Hi Alex, thank you for joining us on this tour, Lou really enjoyed the time you spent together! Although both addresses led you to the same meeting point, we did update the exact address on Viator after your feedback to ensure a better experience! Thank you for your feedback, we always strive to improve ourselves and our tours, and we look forward to seeing you back in Paris soon 😊
Lou was great. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating to our group. I would definitely recommend this tour outside the typical tourist areas.
Valentine was excellent! He shared so much history in a relaxed manner. We really enjoyed our visit, he didn’t rush us and pointed out local sights as well as well known ones.
Lou, our guide, was warm and friendly - and so knowledgeable. She delighted us with history, architecture, and stories.
Lou was terrific - very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend her and the Latin Quarter tour!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour through the Latin Quarter with our tour guide Clara! It was a wonderful surprise to discover the important Roman arena tucked away in a lovely square. We got to know the different areas/schools of the Sorbonne, the interesting Rue Mouffetard, and Clara was nice enough to show us some spots where Midnight in Paris and Emily in Paris were filmed. Ending the tour in the Jardin du Luxembourg was a special treat! The tour lasted just the right amount of time, not too short and not too long. Highly recommend.
We had a great trip through the Latin Quarter. Our guide Lou was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and knew the area well given she went to University there.
Benoit was very knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed our walk around the Latin Quarter with him. He shared history about the area and the city.
Great insight into Latin Quarter history and monuments. Especially appreciated the explanation around the Roman ruins. Nice restaurant recommendation at the end of the tour.
Knowledgable, friendly guide who tailored the tour to our interests. We enjoyed spending time with Waled and learned so much! Our tour was early on our first day and he brought us to a great coffee shop so we could fuel up. Would use this group again!
