and since you’ve arrived on this page, you’re probably looking for a memorable, instructive and perhaps fun experience touring Paris with a private guide. You might be curious about this service and the people who you’ll come to interact with – as I would – so I wish to tell you a little bit about myself and Tours in Paris.
A former student in art history and archaeology, then a major in literature, I was born and raised in Paris. I worked for ten years as a translated literature editor, with a specialty for travel writing. This encouraged my ever-present taste for transmission and culture, whether it’s by bringing foreign authors to the French public (such as the world best-seller The Boy, the Mole, the Fox & the Horse by Charlie Mackesy) or selling French books worldwide.
But after a few years, I realized I missed spending time outside the office, in my city, discovering again and again its many wonders, and sharing them with curious minds. I wanted to put my enthusiasm to good use. This is when Flora and I teamed up.
Flore & Flora
Flora and I go back to our high school years – she had become a wonderful and respected certified tour guide, and I wanted to what I liked best: use my communications skills and my love for art and travel to design great experience for travelers like myself.
Our (small) team
Select Team of Private Tour Guides in Paris
Flora introduced me to a select team of trusted licensed tour guides, which she and I spent time getting to know – their unique strength, their talents – in order to design tailored-made experiences. While interviewing them in Paris’ cafés and terraces, I always keep an eye out for the original and authentic experiences to share with future travelers... including you!
What I enjoy about working on a small scale, with only a handful of guides whom I trust, is that every experience can be crafted with time and care. If you’re a family with many children, if you’re passionate about a certain type of sculptures, if you have a disability, if it’s your first time or your tenth time at the Louvre... It matters to me, and to your future guide.
The team of guides I pride myself on working with is quite special; they all have a different background, skills and tastes that are unique. Like all hidden gems, most of them will not have a big online presence, and I feel lucky to be able to work with them. I guarantee their level of expertise, all of them are English-speaking professionals who take every tour as a new adventure.
This small boutique vision of tourism is something I hold dear, hence the absence of Tours in Paris from major platforms such as Trip Advisor (but you can visit my Google Page here). I like to work with word to mouth, and the few select agencies that have given me their trust. Thanks to this, I’ve been happy to receive happy feedback from families, friends, couples, any kind of visitors have shared their enthusiasm with me after their tours.
