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.

I am a British artist and filmmaker based in Paris, where I have spent the past six years exploring the city's relationship with the avant-garde. My background is in the history and philosophy of art, with a focus on cinema and digital media—research I pursued at the University of Kent and during a residency at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. For me, Paris is more than a backdrop; it is a subject of constant study. When I am not filming or editing, I spend my time researching the hidden narratives of the city, from the haunts of the New Wave filmmakers to the radical ideas of the Situationists. My walks are informal but deeply informed conversations. We move away from the standard landmarks to look at how the city has been shaped by the thinkers, writers, and filmmakers who saw Paris as a living text. I don't just share history; I enjoy discussing how the city’s architecture and cultural heritage influence our perspective today. Whether we are exploring iconic film locations through a director's eye or tracing the "layers" of a neighborhood's memory, I offer a perspective that combines historical context with a filmmaker’s eye for detail. I look forward to sharing a different, deeper side of Paris with you.

I have traveled a lot and lived in different countries. I know what it is like to be a local and what it is like to be a tourist. I have a degree in sociology, so I know how to collect and analyze interesting facts. I also have a musical education, which gave me a strong background in the field of art. I really enjoy communicating with people and showing them the places that once made a strong impression on me. Tourists often say that my tours are something more than just sightseeing. They feel more like an interesting and engaging walk with an old friend who shares as much fascinating information as possible.

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…

Beside guiding I am an English professor at the local university, a hobbyist historian and world traveler like you!

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

“Turned out to be more of a ride around then a tour”
They market themselves as a tour company but in reality what we got was an overpriced ride around Nice. While the guide showed up on time, the big problem was that he didn’t speak English. So a disabled American couple that wanted a simple drive around the surrounding area got a guide that couldn’t speak English. Didn’t want a history of the country I explained to the booking agent. Just a simple explanation of where we were. The driver knew what we wanted to see but couldn’t communicate where we were or where we were headed. Stopping the tour I had the driver contact his boss and didn’t get much help. Since I was in the middle of a lost cause, I was able to use google translation and we were able to navigate our way around. Would probably use for a simple trip to or from the airport but certainly nothing else. Be careful what your booking this company for.

Oh my. We thought we knew what we wanted to see in Provence and THEN Nat had ideas about additional adventures and experiences. Her suggestions were always excellent. She is knowledgeable, flexible and so very kind - and a GREAT sense of humor. We were a group of 6 with varying degrees of mobility and travel experience so flexibility was essential. I highly recommend you book your adventures with Nat.
