    Bartosz was amazing!!

    "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."

    Lots of energy in brutally hot in Paris

    "Paul was very friendly and engaged, althought the heat was significant during the walking tour which was draining our energy he kept explaning and guided us through the spots. We saw a lot of intersting places which we would not have looked at ourselves and Paul had a lot of infos for all of it. "

    Excellent Tour!

    "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!"

    Enjoyable Day in the Latin Quarter

    "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.

    Heel lieve gids

    "We hebben genoten van de rondleiding door Gelsomina. Ze was erg lief met onze dochters en had een rustig tempo door Quartier Latin. We zijn blij dat we met haar tijd hebben doorgebracht."

    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!!
