Hello my name is Rafael I'm a tour guide and electric tuktuk driver. I offer my services for sightseeing tours through the beautiful city of Paris where I was born and raised. You can book a tour with us, from 1h to 8h, to explore the city, discovering or rediscovering the most classic monuments, but also taking advantage of my knowledge of the city to discover the more secret streets and neighborhoods that you won't have the chance to see for yourself.

Bonjour, food enthusiasts! There's no better way to explore a country and its culture than through its food, don't you agree? With a deep passion for cooking and gastronomy, I have been crafting unique private food tours for the past 17 years. My tours are not just about tasting exquisite French cuisine; they are about experiencing an authentic slice of French life. I specialize in guiding food lovers through the vibrant markets and high-quality specialty shops. I have decided to expand in the French Basque Country and create more food memories exploring Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz. For me, traveling is all about exchanging stories, discovering new people, and immersing oneself in local tales. Through my food tours, I aim to share the essence of the French "art de vivre" with every visitor.

Hello travelling foodies, Deniz here! My passion for cooking brought me to Paris almost 20 years ago, where I trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu. After working in top kitchens and pastry labs for many years, I have discovered the food nerd in me alongside a new passion for food research which led me to pursue a master’s degree in food studies. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of cultural, geographic and historical forces that shape recipes, food traditions and cuisines which I love sharing with others on my tours. I lead gastronomic adventures through bustling markets, specialty food stores, historic wine cellars, iconic Parisian institutions as well as hidden gems off the beaten path. I believe that tasting authentic flavors and learning about the stories behind them is the best way to appreciate the rich diversity of any culture. It will be an immense joy to share my knowledge and passion for food and wine with you through your Parisian food journey.

I have lived in Paris since 2019 and am passionate about sharing the history and secrets of the City of Light! I lead private tours for families and small groups to help them feel at ease in the city. Drawing from my experience working in museum education, my routes are based in the rich history of the area and are easily adaptable for families with children of all ages. My tours include the history of the sites, a peek into Parisian everyday life, and activities for kids when applicable.

Being a native from Villefranche-sur-Mer, located between Nice and Monaco and facing the world-famous Cap Ferrat, I grew up in the heart of the French Riviera. I loved going to see the festivities of the Nice Carnaval in February like the Menton lemon festival, the Monaco palace with its guards and its Cousteau Oceanic museum, the luxury cars of Monte-Carlo were something special for me because my father was a professional sports car mechanic who participated in the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix for more than 10 years. We were also lucky in May to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival and meet film actors and actresses or French televisions celebrities walking on the Boulevard de La Croisette. Every time I mention my first job outside of Nice, outside of France, I always have the same answer full of surprises " how did you end up in Idaho...?" Well, back in Feb. 2002, during the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, I had the great opportunity to work for two years at the famous Sun Valley Ski Resort as a restaurant and banquet manager. I enjoyed every opportunity to visit most of the West Side and have fond memories of it because it was so different from my hometown French Riviera and also another exclusive, "rich and famous" place to experience. Back in Nice, back in school to be certified as a licensed lecturer-guide, i now take every opportunity to show my clients my area as a local and make sure they feel at home, throughout their stay. For 18 years I am specialized in providing private tours on the French Riviera & in Provence, which means that all my tours can be tailor-made at your convenience, from the great classic for first-time visitors to unique experiences, including adapted for children, my programs can also be customized as multi-day tours so that you to enjoy, discover and understand South of France today and yesterday, its history, its heritage and monuments, its gastronomy and its art of living. Looking forward to meeting you soon…

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name's Benjamin. I am honoured to show you my Mother's hometown of Aix en Provence! I speak English with a clear voice as I was born in the UK. My mother is French and I speak Spanish because I lived in Peru for 9 years. We have family records that date all the way back from 1875 and I share stories both personal and public stories on the tour. Beside guiding I am an English professor at the local university, a hobbyist historian and world traveler like you! Besides sharing my love for the city, I really enjoy meeting people and I hope I get a short chance to get to know you! I usually do my tours in English, but can translate to Spanish. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have a group and want to arrange a date for a spanish only tour, 'si, se puede' as they say. Furthermore, if you have any other questions I will answer them when you message me. Let me leave you with one of my favorite Emile Zola quotes: "Nothing develops intelligence like travel." See you on the tour! Benjamin

“Unforgettable Tour to Monaco with Gregory!”
We were a family of seven traveling together, and our experience could not have been better! Gregory picked us up in Cannes and took us all the way to Monaco for what turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the very start, he was so kind, welcoming, and professional — making sure everyone in our family felt comfortable and excited for the day ahead. Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating stories and fun facts about the French Riviera, and once we arrived in Monaco, he brought every corner of the city to life with his detailed explanations, historical insights, and personal anecdotes. It was clear he truly loves what he does and takes great pride in showing visitors the beauty and history of this amazing place. He was patient with our large group, always ready to answer questions and adjust the pace so that everyone could enjoy the experience. His enthusiasm, warmth, and deep knowledge made the day unforgettable for all of us. Thanks to him, we didn’t just visit Monaco — we experienced it. It felt like exploring with a local friend who genuinely cared about making our day special. We’re so grateful for his dedication and kindness. If you’re planning a visit to Monaco, we can’t recommend him enough!

“Food Tour in Marais”
What can I say? The food tour was perfection. From the boulangerie, chocolatier, fromagerie, charcutier, and marches, to finally sitting at the wine tasting cellar to bring it all together. Deniz's impeccable knowledge, warm personality, and genuine passion added so much depth and enjoyment to the experience. She captivated us from the time we first met for coffee, to the time we had to say goodbye. I cannot recommend the food tour with Deniz enough. If you are able to experience this, especially with only two people in the group, please consider moving it to the top of your itinerary. And if you do embark on this magical adventure across Marais, please make make sure to give Deniz your full attention and presence, as she truly puts her soul into the tour - I promise you will not be disappointed, you will learn so much, and you will sample simply amazing food and wine (the Roquefort is to absolutely die for). Thank you Deniz for being one of my most favorite excursions across all the countries I've traveled, and experiences I've had.
