Overview of your Paris tour

Located in the Left Bank side, the area of Saint Germain des Prés, named after one of the oldest Parisian churches, is one of the most emblematic places in Paris. The village-like charming lanes and little plazas scattered with 17th century hotel particuliers and buildings became, by the 19th century, a centre for cultural and intellectual Parisian life. The Café de Flore, The Deux Magots or the Brasserie Lipp, which used to teem with famous post-war writers, journalists and artists, are still reminiscent of that time! Nowadays, you'll be able to find all together art galleries, antique dealers, book houses, fashion designers and fashion shops. . . You will enjoy this private tour, discovering: St Germain des Prés, The Quartier Latin. You will see the Sorbonne, the Pantheon, the Jardin du Luxembourg, The Hôtel Cluny, Eglise St Germain des Prés, St Sulpice, Rue des Saints Pères, Musée Eugène Delacroix, rue de Buci, rue Mazarine, rue de Seine, Notre Dame. . Nice shops, nice restaurants, cafés and many more!

Genevieve was WONDERFUL! What lovely energy! Knowledgeable, kind, fun-loving, flexible and fantastic. We had a magical day wandering the 5th and 6th with her in Paris. Highly recommend!

Genevieve planned an incredible day of shopping with history mixed in for us. Genevieve contacted us prior to the tour to get an idea of what we were shopping for and what kinds of places we wanted to visit. She took us to places that we never would have found on our own, and she was a joy to spend time with. She also taught us some history along the way. I will definitely be booking another tour when we return to Paris. We felt like we made a friend in Paris.

This is my second time to book a tour with Genevieve and hopefully not the last. She’s extremely knowledgeable, bright, and delightful and is happy to share her passions, information, and to take photos along the way (without being asked). The photos are helpful reminders to know where we were and places we may like to revisit. This was a very full and comprehensive tour, without being overwhelming, and a purely delightful few hours. From Le Marais to the Latin quarter and to Saint Germain des Prés, and places along the way, I feel I got a good overview of several Parisian neighborhoods I’d wanted to visit. My daughter in law loved the tour and Genevieve’s personality, as well. And even though she’s lived in Paris for a while, she feels Genevieve showed her new things and shared interesting information, even in places she’d spent a lot of time.

We had limited time and walk at a slower pace than many so Genevieve had to make a few adjustments for our Latin Quarter tour. She gave us an informative overview of the Latin Quarter and surrounding area. We appreciated her knowledge of both the history and current happenings. We especially liked the Jardin du Luxembourg. She knows the best spots for photo ops too!

Genevieve was patient, friendly, and full of information and neighborhood insights. We wanted to experience everyday Paris with ideas for shops, restaurants, and hidden gems. She delivered.
