Great tour, if you want to explore this area of Paris do not miss it! - Nika, our guide was exceptional, we visited all the highlights of the Latin Quarter, gave us many explanations but quietly, with a pleasant conversation. Even the walk was balanced and not tiring, everything went smoothly and above all he was very prepared about everything, also providing us with other various information about Paris. We definitely recommend the visit! And the tour operator, even if there were only 2, did not cancel the tour, showing seriousness!

Fascinating look at Paris's Latin Quarter - We highly recommend this Latin Quarter tour with Tamari. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and really gave us a wonderful tour of this fascinating area of Paris. We learned about art, famous landmarks, Roman influence, education, architecture, churches, history, and culture. She had great stories to tell, and gave us suggestions of things to do in the area after the tour on our own, as well as places to eat. Tamari was engaging, and responsive to our questions. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour!

Great tour, Great guide - Nika was a wonderful guide. He knew kind and very knowledgeable. We loved all of the historical landmarks, especially the Sorbonne, the Pantheon and the Jardin de Luxembourg. He was especially helpful in telling us that the line to get into Notre Dame moved very quickly, although it’s very long. It took us probably 20 minutes to get into the cathedral and it was astounding.

The guide never showed up. - The guide never showed up. No advance warning, zero communication at the time of the tour, no apologies afterwards… One star goes to another unrelated guide who kindly explained how to get a refund… Bad business for the tour company
