My boyfriend and I went to Paris last week and we did the Latin Quarter tour. It was really informative and Quentin made it interesting. This is a 2-hour walk where we discovered famous monuments, a very nice garden and old Roman ruins. We had a really good time!

Très bon tour privé du quartier latin! Quentin a fait un effort particulier pour m'intéresser et m'impliquer, notamment avec l'usage d'une tablette pour me montrer le Paris de l'époque romaine. Très bonne surprise, je recommande!
