I am an experienced tour guide and a friendly Franco-American who has lived in Paris for 33 years. Travelers feel comfortable with me due to my fluency in both English & French. I am a trained historian and my tours are well researched, well documented and well presented on high tech material (tablet), a multi-media experience using archival photos, video footage (and when appropriate sound). My tours are not for the first time traveler - I could never compete with the big bucket tours that go to the Eiffel Tower. Instead, I market tours for those who have already seen the sights and want to see Paris beyond the monuments, the real Paris with its private courtyards, quiet cobblestoned streets & hidden monuments that only locals know.

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 been living and working in Paris for 15+ years. I love my city and love sharing its vibrant art scene with my guests. Originally, I studied Art and Philosophy at Concordia University, Montreal and received a Master 2 / Diplôme des Beaux-Arts de l'ESADHaR, Le Havre, France. As well as being a tour guide I am a practicing artist. I spent the first years of my life in Paris going to the museum every weekend to sketch the sculptures and paintings. I have over 10 years of experience working in the arts with artists, and galleries, as an artist and curator. I started out running an artist-run center and love making the experience of interacting with art accessible and fun. As a member of the art community, I am more than excited to share with you an insider's view of the Paris vibrant art scene. Let me show you how this city continues to inspire me every day. Don't hesitate to send me a message and tell me what kinda art you like! So, I can tailor the visit to your interest!

“I got a lot of my passion to study and to share knowledge from both my parents who are professors. And when I say to share, I really mean a communication to connect, to exchange, where I not only pass information, but also listen and learn. It’s very important for me to create a comfortable atmosphere for everyone. To learn should be a moment of expansion, growth and therefore happiness and pleasure. That is no such thing as “silly questions”, the most important thing is to be curious, to stay sincere with yourself about the unknown, so we can together find the answers. There is no better feeling that knowing that you helped someone initiate or develop him/herself to the art world with your “push”. I fell in love with Art History many years ago, even before my graduation, for me, it’s the nicest way to understand human society. We study the past, so we can live better in the present and construct together a finer future.”

Hello ! I am lucky to be guiding people from all over the world since 2015 in one of the most beautiful cities : Paris. I was born a few steps from the Palace of Versailles and ever since have been passionate about the history of France and especially Paris where I live that I know like the back of my hand. After spending a few years in Spain, I came back to Paris to study History and Art at the Sorbonne University and also became a professional musician and singer. I offer historical tours of Paris and its museums. It can be walking tours, tours that include public transportation or a private driver with a modern car that suits your demands. Let's travel back in time in the streets of Paris or in the beautiful countryside of Normandie, I'll share with you all my favorite spots. See you soon in Paris ! Marc

“Fabulous morning with Jill in Montmartre - highly recommend”
Jill’s tour was the highlight of my 3 day stay in Paris! Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the neighborhood’s history, culture and people are mind-blogging. She showed me places I could have never discovered on my own, each with its own captivating story. Jill also gave me good tips about places such as “the best baguette”, wine stores, cheese in the neighborhood. Jill really makes you feel like you belong there and makes you fall in love with Montmartre. I had such a memorable experience that I just didn’t want the tour to end!

“Incredible tour!”
Leo gave us an amazing tour of The Catacombs Museum in Paris. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the museum and is a captivating storyteller. It is a once in a lifetime experience to be given a catacombs tour by a Cataphile that lives and breathes their passion. Thank you for such a unique and inspiring experience. This is a memory we will cherish.

“Terrific tales of the Jazz Age!”
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Ellen is an excellent guide - the tour is incredibly well researched and the addition of slides, video and audio recordings really made the tour special. Standing outside the original site of Shakespeare and Co while hearing Sylvia Beech speak is quite an experience. Ellen is an attentive and incredibly considerate guide - we had a fantastic time - thoroughly recommended!
