Walking Paris with a Local is worth it! - I rely heavily on reviews to plan my trip so I wanted to return the favor for other would-be travelers. We are so glad that we jumped on this gem of a private walking tour around the Latin area in Paris with Guillaume the very first day we arrived. There is nothing better than having a local show you the best attractions in the area. Not only did Guillaume contact us well prior on What's App to confirm the meeting point but he was kind enough to wait for us when we were late due to special event Olympic traffic. He showed us all the key attractions from the Pantheon to Notre Dame and other treasures in the neighborhood as we strolled through the streets exploring several special places not included in other tours...the final spot was the lovely Luxemburg Gardens which helped me check that off our "must see" list. Guillaume's english is fine and he answered a ton of our questions plus offered up memorable stories and information that even my teenage son enjoyed. We appreciated his knowledge of the buildings, history, as well as, current information which gave us more insight on Paris than some of the other tours we took. I highly recommend starting with this tour/tour guide as he can also offer great restaurants and advice that will make your trip even better. PS - He walked us right up to a couple of places that are even featured in the "Emily in Paris" netflix series.... loved meeting Guillaume and loved the tour he has put together!!

Great visit, we recommend! - Great visit with Guillaume! He explained the history of the neighborhood and showed us the good addresses of the 5th arrondissement. We also learned a lot about the history of France through the visit. And the historical anecdotes were very interesting to our son:)
