Great Tour - Our guide Linda was excellent. We learned so much about Paris’ history. She bought us to amazing sites that we would have never found on our own. Definitely recommend

A delightful afternoon in Paris! - Due to airline scheduling issues, we found ourselves with a full day layover in Paris. Although short, our time in Paris was made memorable via a delightful afternoon with Vivienne as he lead us on a visit to the Latin Quarter (Pantheon, The Sorbonne, and the Cathedral of St Etienne du Mont) and St Germain ( Luxembourg Gardens, the Cathedral of St Sulpice....of DaVinci Code fame and last, but not least, Macrons at Pierre Herme) neighborhoods. Born and raised in Paris, Vivienne showed us Paris through the eyes of a local, combining history with culture as he talked about his city. Lastly, we finished our excursion with a fine selection of French cheeses and terrific wine at a local shop. By avoiding the standard tourist traps one might expect, we had the pleasure of experiencing Paris as if we lived there also. Well done Vivienne.

Best tour with Vivien - Vivien was amazing!! He gave us tons of facts about history, pointed out his favorite places in the neighborhoods we walked through; and even gave a map of Paris with his recommendations for other stops to make after the tour ended. Highly, highly recommend!! Thank you, vivien for an incredible tour!

Essential tour for a successful trip to Paris - Absolutely wonderful, informative informal tour of Latin Quarter and St. Germain. Our tour guide Vivien, a true Parisien, not only educated us about the historical places on the tour, he pointed out sights where movies and tv shows were filmed in the area. We also appreciated Vivien's commentary putting the French, and particularly Parisien, culture and personality in historical perspective. My wife and I came away with a better understanding of who the French are. Finally, Vivien had some great insights into what cafe's and bakeries to avoid, who and when to tip, and other inside information that made the rest of our trip a success. If possible, do the tour on your first day in Paris. Vivien's inside info was essential for the success of the rest of our trip.

A Wonderful Neighborhood Tour! - Our guide, Emily, was absolutely delightful. She was very informative and fun. I'm a big literary nerd, and I was glad she could tell me stories about my favorites I'd never heard before! We even played a game together outside a pub. Highly recommend!

Absolute best tour we have done!!! - We did the Experience Bohemian Paris tour yesterday and it was the most fun, enjoyable and amazing tour we have done EVER! It was just us so we had our guide, Doina, all to ourselves. She made the tour so lively and fun but she was also very knowledgeable and informative. She never bombarded you with too much information but what she did impart, she did so with humor and ease. I highly recomend this tour to anyone who wants to really experience Paris, not just visit the tourist attractions. Well worth your money.

Wonderful Tour - I had a wonderful tour of Saint-Germain-des-Pres and the Latin Quarter. Our group was small which allowed for a lot of dialogue with our tour guide Doina. It was so interesting hearing the various history around the many sites of Paris. I’d definitely recommend !

Great orientation and discoveries - Discovered great hidden gems such as a cobbled alley of restaurants by Odéon and a cuter version of Place des Vosges (Place Dauphiné). Plenty of time between stops to share experiences with fellow travellers.

Always more to see and enjoy in Paris - We'd chosen the tour as an intro to Paris for my inlaws, who were visiting for the first time. The weather gods were not kind and it was very cold and drizzly to begin with our lovely guide Vivien, with our agreement, shook thinks up a bit and we toured from beautiful church to beautiful church rather than followed the prescribed itinerary. As a Parisien himself Vivien was a font of knowledge, amusing and great company on our explorations. Seeing the olds were flagging he tailored the tour to suit and we ended with a lovely charcuterie plate and wine under heaters sheltering from the chill. I think the description is inaccurate as it is more a walking tour with a few snacks at the end, however ignoring the misnomer it was an enjoyable and informative tour, for both newbies and old friends of Paris. Vivien gets 5 stars, the mislabeling of the tour brings it down to 4.
