Strolling the Magical Streets
Meet your private guide and set out on foot to explore the atmospheric Latin Quarter. Stroll along quaint and charming medieval streets lined with lively bistros, bars, and shops, soaking in the Bohemian aura as you go. Bear witness to the Sorbonne, on which the Latin Quarter is anchored. Recognized as the most famous educational institution in France, the Sorbonne, or the University of Paris, was officially chartered in the year 1200. Continue on and pass by the Neoclassical masterpiece of the Pantheon, where Foucault's pendulum was originally demonstrated. Contrasting the narrow medieval streets is the busy Boulevard Saint-Michel, where you can take in plenty of 19th-century Haussmann architecture, and view quirky bookshops and boutiques. Wander along the bustling Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest and most picturesque streets in Paris. Said to be over 2,000 years old when a road was first constructed here by the Romans, today the pedestrianized street is home to a lively street market, where countless cafes and restaurants jostle with specialist food vendors for space. Enjoy a tasting tour sampling delicious food items, from a choice of cheese, charcuterie, chocolate, or pasties, according to your personal tastes. At the end of the tour, your guide is happy to recommend other nearby points of interest, a place to eat, or suggest the best way back to your hotel.
With hundreds of options to choose from across Paris, deciding on which restaurant to try out could be challenging. To assist, you’ll receive a supplemental composition within your final trip documents, showcasing our restaurant suggestions for Paris, as selected by Kensington Tours Destination Experts.

Listen to your guide as they introduce you to the secrets of Notre Dame as you get up close to the cathedral's marvelous architecture and impressive innovation. End your tour by wandering through the quaint streets of the two central islands, Ile de la City and Ile St-Louis, with the Seine flowing around you on both sides. A charming and quintessentially Parisian spot, these islands are a great spot to take in Parisian culture and architecture.
Spend a magical evening dining in the Eiffel Tower at Madame Brasserie located on the first floor.
