Full Tour Description

There’s a reason why writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald lived in the Latin Quarter, and this exclusive private guided walking tour will make that painfully clear. Our 2.5 hour private tour starts with a visit inside the Notre Dame Cathedral followed by a charming walk through the Latin Quarter and pairs you with one of our attentive, dynamic guides who will share the stories that make this district so memorable.

From the most ancient Roman ruins to the sets for Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” this tour will walk you through the centuries that have shaped this Left Bank neighbohood. Dig up its intellectual roots at the Sorbonne University or by discussing the famous thinkers buried under the Pantheon’s majestic dome. Pal around with today’s literati as you browse the stacks at Shakespeare & Co. and then pull up a chair and read a few chapters at the Luxembourg Gardens. You may even be inspired to pick up a pen and start your own novel by the end of the tour. Just make sure you dedicate it to us.
