Eden really knows how to make a tour both fun and informative. I originally booked with my husband but he couldn't go so I went solo. Had a great time. Whether you are solo or with others, Eden can make your day.

Alisair was an awesome guide for many reasons. He was British so his English was good. He had studied theater so his witty way of describing places and events was very entertaining. And he was very conscious of the fact that the temp was in the 90’s so he sought out shade and places to sit quite frequently, which was good since 4 of the 6 in the group were in our 70’s. As I think others have noted, this tour does not go inside Notre Dame so I also booked the Notre Dame and City Center tour which allowed for 20 minutes inside the cathedral. Both were different and well worth it.

Excellent discussions of Latin Quarter, Left Bank and 5th Arrondissement! The background of the development of Rome in early days brought the tour to life! Georgia provided an entertaining and informative tour!
Jim_W, May 2026
Wonderful, very entertaining, great performances, felt safe in the area of the show, cafe on the corner was a good place to have food and drink waiting for the doors to open, think uber for pickup

Michelle_K, May 2026
Our highlight of the tours we’ve taken so far. Our guide, Maria, was very knowledgeable and gave excellent background at each stop. She was accommodating- stopped for a bathroom break and did not rush us.

Max shared a lot of background information about the area, Montmartre. He pointed out areas of interest. He gave suggestions of how to spend the rest of a drizzly afternoon and gave us directions to find a good cafe or taxi when we were ready to leave the area.

Mary_P, Oct 2025
That our guide Hugo was so knowledgeable in history that is was one of the best tours I have even taken! On top of that he was so pleasant and accommodating as I have a bad back that was hurting today he rearranged the tour on the spot and was conscious of asking me if I needed to sit. We are hoping to arrange another tour with him before we leave!!!
Jody_H, Sep 2025
Fantastic historic area! Our guide, Hugo, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoyable. Small group tour is the way to go!
Donald_L, Sep 2025
Eden, our tour guide was exemplary for the second day in a row! She provided us with in depth historical and current day knowledge of the Latin Quarter of Paris. She engaged with each tour participant, answering all questions with patience and consideration for each particular interest! Eden is a true Parisian gem!
Laurie_G, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful tour of the Latin Quarter with our guide, Agustina. We lucked out as we ended up having her all to ourselves. She is perfect for such a tour because she is passionate about the history of the area such as the great writers of the past, the musicians, the play writes, the colleges and the quest for knowledge and beauty. What a lovely person to spend a few hours with.
Kathleen_S, Sep 2025
Our tour guide (Francois V.) was knowledgeable, funny, and enthusiastic. A native of Paris who obviously loves his country but was very self deprecating. He was easy to understand and open to questions.
Steven_A, Aug 2025
Fantastic tour with a very passionate Parisian Francsouis. Greatly entertaining and knowledgeable. He ran the tour to what people were interested in. Gave great tips for where to eat and tour.
Carlotta_R, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was wonderfully entertaining. Hugo spun stories and anecdotes that educated and delighted. From his extensive background and education he shared little known facts and secrets about the Latin Quarter. It was a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
Jim_T, Jul 2025
I just want to say that Georgia was the BEST tourguide that we have ever experienced. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating to our interests. She led us through all of the sites, shared with us the history, explained specific stories that we were really interested in. She even took our pictures at some of the most picturesque spots along out tour. They will be some of the most treasured pictures that we have from our trip. We can't say enough about Georgia and the truly memorable and special tour that she gave us!
BronsonJM, Jul 2025
Eden was wonderful, knowledgeable, patient with all our questions. Helpful with follow up with restaurant and shopping suggestions.
Norma_L, May 2025
The guide Alastair was very knowledgeable on French history easy to understand. Questions were all answered efficiently.
Yuriy_U, May 2025
Georgia is an excellent tour guide. We had such a great time exploring Latin Quarter. Learned a lot about history of France, Notre Dame de Paree, Sorbonne University and even tasted Odette pastries ( do not miss that!). Small group, very knowledgeable guide- what else do you need in beautiful Paris! Thank you so much, Georgia!
Stephen_C, May 2025
This tour was very enjoyable. We had Hugo K for the second time. Again he was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He brought the past and present of the Latin Quarter alive for us.
Nora_O, May 2025
Eden was excellent - she was well informed and spoke excellent English. The pacing is good and the right length of time for my start in Paris. Eden is patient and an authentic rather than jaded guide.
Mihai_L, May 2025
The guide (Alasdair) is a great individual, full of energy and of history and architecture knowledge. While explaining historical events connected with the visited places, he put on such expressive actig carrying us back in time.
To be characterized in one word: ECELLENT!
