Step by Step

Explore the Latin Quarter, the intellectual and bohemian heart of Paris, on this fascinating guided walking tour of approximately 2.5 hours. The experience begins on the Île de la Cité, the oldest core of Paris, right in front of the Cité metro station (line 4). From there, accompanied by a professional guide, you will begin a journey through centuries of history and culture.

During the tour, you will discover landmarks such as the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral (exterior view), the symbol of Paris and the starting point to cross to the left bank of the Seine. Once in the Latin Quarter, you'll walk through cobblestone streets steeped in the legacy of illustrious figures such as Hemingway, Dali and Fitzgerald, who contributed to the worldwide fame of this historic neighbourhood.

You will visit emblematic sites such as the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop, famous for having been a meeting point for great writers. You will visit the Sorbonne University, where brilliant thinkers shaped European thought, and discover the majestic Pantheon, where the likes of Voltaire and Victor Hugo are laid to rest.

The tour will also take you to the Luxembourg Gardens, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the Parisian atmosphere, and you will even explore locations where famous films such as "Midnight in Paris" or "Before Sunset" were shot. At each stop, your guide will share unique anecdotes and curiosities, enriching your experience.

You can choose the small group option in English (maximum 12 people), ideal to interact more closely and discover even more secrets of this emblematic district, or the private option, just for you and your group.

At the end of this tour, you will take away a unique perspective on the artistic and intellectual spirit that continues to bring to life the Latin Quarter, a true Parisian gem.

    We traveled to Paris with my wife to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary! We took several tours in the city, but this one turned out to be the best! Very good guides and a great atmosphere around us. We will surely come back soon.
