"We had a wonderful morning exploring the Latin Quarter with Gelsomina. From the very beginning, the tour felt relaxed and unhurried, allowing us to truly soak up the atmosphere as we wandered through the charming narrow streets and hidden corners of this beautiful part of Paris.
Gelsomina brought the history of the area to life with fascinating stories and unique insights that you simply wouldn't find in a guidebook. It was the perfect balance of historical context, local knowledge, and little details that made us see this area of Paris in a completely different way.
What made the experience especially memorable was how natural and enjoyable it felt. Rather than feeling like a formal tour, it was more like taking a leisurely stroll with a knowledgeable friend. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and Gelsomina was warm, engaging, and happy to answer any questions along the way.
We came away with a much deeper appreciation of the Latin Quarter and some fantastic recommendations for places to visit, eat, and explore afterwards. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more personal, authentic way to discover one of Paris's most historic and characterful neighbourhoods. Thank you, Gelsomina, for such a lovely experience!"
"Anna was such a great guide! Right from the start she took into account my limitations (73years of age and using a
Mmcane).She showed us beautiful churches and gardens as well as a bakery for croissants. We learned about French history as and also showed us some famous people's homes. I would recommend Anna to everyone for a awesome tour !"
"We could not have been happier about our tour in Paris. Gelsomina was extremely knowledgable and did it in a casual manner that allowed us to learn and ask questions. Time flew by in the tour. 10/10 and would suggest any tourist do it!"
"If you are looking for someone who can go beyond a script and give you real insights, this is the guy. My wife and I took a tour of the Latin Quarter with Bartosz in late May 2026. It was fantastic. We had provided some information about our backgrounds in advance and he came prepared to draw on that. As we wandered through the city he pointed out large buildings and little details. His knowledge of the history and ability to point out little, but truly important, things we would have missed was outstanding. From details in stained glass windows to explaining the impact history has on today's France, it was a really enlightening tour. Most impressive, he could answer questions in detail. I have been on several tours in the past where the guide sounded knowledgeable, but as soon as they were asked a question not on script it fell apart. But Bartosz could go into all sorts of topics as soon as we asked, We both see Paris in a whole new way after this tour. I cannot recommend it enough and will say the next time I am in Paris I will look to book another of his trips. "
"We had a wonderful tour with Iza in Paris today and truly enjoyed every moment. She was delightful, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience feel both effortless and memorable. Iza shared the city with warmth and enthusiasm, and her personality made the tour especially enjoyable. We left with a deeper appreciation for Paris and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting the city."
"Carlos was an excellent guide. He impressed us with his in-depth knowledge and fascinating historical details. The city tour was entertaining and humorous, and he always provided thoughtful answers to our questions.
We’d love to do it again on our next trip to Paris.
Thanks to Carlos Hernan.
