I'm Guillaume, a 32-year-old Frenchman who loves showing people the history and daily life of Paris as a hobby! I'm passionate about the history of France and Paris.

During this private walking tour (there will be only you), I'll show you the Latin Quarter, the neighborhood where I've lived for more than 10 years, between the Pantheon, Notre Dame and the Luxembourg Gardens, in the heart of Paris. You will discover the history of this district and its famous monuments. I'll share with you many anecdotes about life in this neighborhood. I'll give you the best addresses in the area and the places that Parisians love.

The private tour will evolve according to your desires and I also make recommendations depending on your interests. During this customisable walking tour, I will be happy to share all their tips and tricks to help you make the most of your stay.

Guillaume was great. Fun, informative, and fascinating points of history to share. It was helpful to know that by choice, he is a professional who also lives in the Latin quarter. Great tour.

The walking guided tour of the Latin Quarter was very enjoyable. The knowledge of our guide made the experience more robust than walking around hoping to run into the many sights.
Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful tour with Guillaume. He showed me around the neighborhood and shared a lot of historical information and things only locals would know. He was also able to customize the tour to my specific interests, which was very nice of him. Thank you, Guillaume!
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!!
Walking Tour with a Local...well worth it!

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:)
I highly recommend doing this tour!
