My favorite part of Paris - Short, sweet, and full of history! The tour moved at a comfortable pace and our guide pointed out many small details we would’ve missed. The Latin Quarter is now one of my favorite parts of Paris.

Perfect short tour - Perfect short tour! It was just the right length and covered so much, from the Panthéon to the Sorbonne and even hidden corners I wouldn’t have found alone. The guide was engaging and made history easy to follow.

Latin Quarter with James - Wonderful area of Paris to visit. I think there was alot of time in beginning getting started, and need to get more time to walk thru San Chappell, advise people to allow time at the end to walk through the luxemborg Gardens.

No show your guide and no resolution - We waited for one hour at the precise location and no one showed up at the appointed time. We verified our location and time with other tour guides there. We tried to contact Viator and the provider and we were not able to get ahold of anyone. We were there a half hour early and waited for over half an hour after the meeting time. Getting a refund is hard and there is no refund yet. I would not go through a brokerage group again. I would deal directly with a tour guide. I wasted time and have not had a confirmation of a refund four days later.

The guide was a no show ☹️ - Our guide never showed up. No one answered the phone # provided, or the “chat with your guide” feature. We had 3 and found 2 others waiting. Very disappointed ☹️
