"Anukool was friendly and informative. He put history into storytelling making learning enjoyable. We went to non tourist places as well as those on our list. He has a great sense of humor!!"
"Isabel is wonderfully knowledgeable about Paris and clearly loves the city. She was also amazing with our kids, adapting her dynamic tour so that they (7 and 10) were very involved while the adults still enjoyed plenty of great historical information. Honestly, I only wish we'd had more time with her, but the length of the tour was perfect for the kids!"
"I couldn't imagine touring this neighborhood with anyone else. Bartolz shared so much history and detail to make this experience unforgettable. We covered so much of the neighborhood exploring the churches, gardens, landmarks and quirky stops along the way. Walking along the river toward Notre-Dame was magical. I highly recommend touring with such a knowledgeable host. The stories were endless and so interesting. He customized the tour to meet my specific requests and covered all of the stops and much more.

OUTSTANDING tour! GREAT value!
"The Latin Quarter walking tour we had with Gelsomina was one of the best experiences we had during our weeklong visit to Paris. She was very knowledgeable, had a gentle, easy-going manner, and willingly answered all the questions we had. Further, she was extremely accommodating with regards to some of the special requests we had for seeing certain locations, and easily modified her "standard" tour in a seamless manner in response to those requests. As a result of this tour, we not only had a better understanding of the history of The Latin Quarter, but also insight into how life is now lived in this area of Paris. Truly a delightful and fulfilling experience for our group, with a top notch guide! We could not have been happier with this tour, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services as a GREAT value for the money!! "
"When I booked the Latin Quarter Hidden Gems tour and read through the various bios, Bartosz really stood out. He was a walking encyclopedia of the history of Paris and a natural teacher. The amount of detail we got was far above your typical guided tour. He was easy to talk with and everything felt like a conversation and not a tour at all. I cannot recommend Bartosz enough."
"I cannot recommend my tour with Iza highly enough! Learned so much about the history and culture of the Latin Quarter and 5th arrondissement. Would never have seen half of what I saw if I’d been on my own. Incredibly interesting tour and Iza is an absolute delight! The perfect guide to Paris. Will always remember this tour - thank you very much :)"

"Wir hatten eine tolle Führung mit Romy durch Paris. Sie ist äußerst sympathisch, ihre Informationen waren sehr interessant (wir haben viel Neues gelernt) und sie ist wunderbar auf unsere individuellen Wünsche eingegangen und hat sogar mehr Zeit mit uns verbracht als erwartet. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Danke, Romy! ❤️ "
