Latin Quarter & Notre Dame Tour with a Parisian Guide

About this tour

Explore Paris’ Old Town—a history stretching 2,000 years all the way back to ancient Rome. This is where Paris was born, and this is why people travel to Paris.

Start with Notre-Dame—the iconic cathedral, standing on the small island where Paris was first born. Explore hidden gems of Paris—medieval streets, the tapestry of the Unicorn, a collection of the beheaded kings of France, and Roman baths.

This is the Paris that has inspired artists. Walk the paths of legends of literature and the arts—Picasso, Hemingway, Cyrano de Bergerac, d’Artagnan, Simone de Beauvoir. Learn why Paris has more art-house cinemas than any other city in the world, and why they are all to be found here in the old town.

Experience what only Paris can offer. Join local traditions, like rubbing a certain statue for luck in circumstances that can arise only here.

Discover the old district called the “Latin Quarter” (and why they call it that), Sorbonne university (founded 1253), the Panthéon (who is buried there?), and the Luxembourg Gardens (voted best park year after year).

Be careful—what matters to you in life may never be the same after this tour.

In English, rain or shine, in a small group, away from the crowds—and as always, you pay what you want. This is the tour for you.
