    Great walking tour

    rmoecker, Apr 2026
    Our guide was so very knowledgeable on various topics including buildings, streets, churches and saints!

    Disappointed

    Richard_Y, Mar 2026
    the tour guide never showed up. we were 15 minutes early and waited 10 minutes past the time we were to meet at the Shakespeare bookstore

    Tour? What tour!

    Mark_R, Mar 2026
    We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes before the start time and there was nobody there, I contacted Viator and they sent me the local tour operator’s number which was continuously busy. I waited 20 minutes then demanded a refund and was told “maybe”. Normally I don’t have a problem with viator but in Paris I seem to have nothing but problems, including no-shows and cancellations the night before.

    The guide never showed up.

    The guide never showed up. No advance warning, zero communication at the time of the tour, no apologies afterwards… One star goes to another unrelated guide who kindly explained how to get a refund… Bad business for the tour company

    Nica was a wonderful...

    Nica was a wonderful guide. He had extensive knowledge of the area, history and buildings. Finishing at Luxembourg Gardens gave us opportunity to have a lovely stay relaxing in the cool gardens.

    Great Latin Quarter Tour w/Nica

    This was such an informative tour! Nica answered all our questions and we had an interesting conversation as we walked through history together! Thank you Nica for some nice memories of Paris!

    Excellent afternoon!

    Excellent tour! Guide was incredibly knowledgeable and upbeat. I ended up being the only one on the tour and got a 1-on-1 experience. Pierre was a truly lovely companion and I learned so much about the history, economy and political landscape of Paris. Would definitely recommend!
