About this tour
Run through the history of Paris on a guided route linking the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This Paris Running Tour traces the city from ancient Lutetia to its medieval streets, with stories and landmarks bringing each era to life.
Discover Gallo-Roman remains, including the thermal baths, the old cardo maximus, and Roman arenas, then pass the prestigious universities and the Panthéon. The route continues through medieval Paris, with views of the Cluny Museum, Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, and remnants of Philippe Auguste’s city walls.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 22% in Paris means it ranks in the top 22% of tours in Paris by this score.
