"Iveta showed us places we would never have found on our own. She knows the quiet paths around the City which was very nice. She knows her history and her love for Paris shows. "
"This was my second tour with Lucien and again he was amazing. His knowledge of Paris is quite extraordinary and he tells it in a friendly and sometimes humorous way. I highly recommend Lucien !"
"Our family had the best tour with Louis. He really listened to our interests and questions and was able to share a unique perspective about everything from university life and admissions to the history of every street as well as current cultural and political trends. He took us for tastings of locally sourced jams and also oil and vinegar that were fantastic. Louis gave amazing bookstore, restaurant, and theater recommendations as well. I highly recommend this tour!"

"Isabel was knowledgeable and easy to follow. She gave an interesting, well-paced tour of the Latin quarter, and we had a great time! Was relaxing and informative, would definitely recommend "
"We greatly enjoyed our 2 and 3/4 hour tour with Luis in the Latin Quarter. He showed used around the Sorbonne and other interesting streets around there and in Saint-Germain de Pres. An added treat was to taste flavored, vinegars and olive oils as well as different types of preserves from local shops. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lucien on the Jewish history tour. Lucien is charming, a little quirky (delightfully so), and extremely knowledgable. It was a bit rainy as we walked thru the Latin Quarter, over Ile de la Cite to see Notre Dame, and end up in le Marais. We learned much and would highly recommend Lucien for any tour he may offer!! Thanks again Lucien."
