Long enjoyable walk.
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.

Guillaume was a great...
Guillaume was a great guide. Very knowledgable about the history of the city and flexible in the sights we wanted to see.

Worthwhile experience for the history
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you Joe!
via Viator
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!
Response from the operator: Thank you Mila for your kind review!

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!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review, I am really glad you enjoyed it! I also enjoyed the discussions about the differences between the US and France :) Best, Guillaume

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paris Latin quarter: Private walking tour with a local guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
