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.

Aurélie M.
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 in Paris. I have decided to also expand in the French Basque Country and create more food memories exploring Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz. I now share my time between Paris & the South West of France. 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.

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…

“Riding with Raphael”
Great experience from planning through completion. Raphael was pleasant, patient and professional during the planning phase. Our lodging locations changed 3 times and he was very accommodating. Once we met him, he was helpful and resourceful in situating our 4 mos old grandsons car seat and the folding stroller he travels in. We were provided blankets to insure we were warm and comfortable on this chilly December morning. He was very informative while traversing the city sights, extremely knowkedgable about what we were seeing and where we were traveling. Provided detailed answers, specific facts and humorous responses to our many questions. Though we had arrived 15 minutes later than we were supposed to have been, due to traffic, we were never made to felel rushed. He gave us the full two hours and dropped us off at a nearby restaurant for lunch. Would recommend this tour to those new to Paris. It's a great way to familiarize oneself with the city and its many attractions. By all means, request Raphael. He was excellent, friendly and an absolute pleasure to tour with.

“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!
