Alastair was amazing. He told so many stories and acted them out - you could see history before you in an entertaining way. We would highly recommend him!

Our guide was outstanding! He really brought the history of Paris and France to life!! He took us off the beaten path and we were able to see a side of Paris we would not have seen otherwise.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Our walking tour of the Latin Quarter with Hugo was one of the highlights of our time in Paris. From the very first moment, he brought the streets to life with rich history, fascinating stories, and a passion that was truly contagious. The pace was perfect—leisurely enough to take in the charming streets and historic architecture, but engaging every step of the way. We explored hidden gems, centuries-old universities, and tucked-away courtyards we never would have found on our own. What really set this tour apart, though, was Hugo’s deep historical knowledge and storytelling. He didn’t just recite dates— he painted vivid pictures of the past, introduced us to quirky facts from Parisian history, and tied it all together with humor, warmth, and genuine love for the city. If you’re looking for an unforgettable, authentic Parisian experience, do not miss this tour. Five stars aren’t enough!

Alasdair was our guide. He is very knowledgable and conducted the tour very well. We thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot about the area.

This was a fun and very informative walking tour of the Latin Quarter of Paris, led by our guide, an expat from England who is now a resident of Paris. The tour was about 2.5 hours in length, starting near the Notre Dame, then crossing the Seine to the Left Bank and ending at Jardin du Luxembourg. Highly recommend this tour, good way to be introduced to this area of Paris.

Our guide Hugo was exceptional! His intelligence, humor, and passion for history made this a great experience. And the restaurant recommendation he provided turned out to be a highlight of our trip when we went there that night.

Although I have been to Paris many times, I had never seen the Latin Quarter the way Emma revealed it. It was a whole other world of Paris. Her passion for the area is obvious. I feel much more enlighten to this historical quarter. Thank you, Emma. Your charm is obvious too.
