I am an Italian licensed guide living in Paris since 2015. I have a PhD in Art History and I give tours in museums and monuments in Paris, walking tours in the city and guided tours in Versailles’ Château. I would like to expand my net of knowledges and meet new clients to share my tours and introduce my city. I believe that art is the best way to exchange with different cultures and to introduce national treasures to foreigners.
“Another Excellent tour by Martina”
The tour of the Musee d'Orsay, followed the tour of the Pompidou the day before. Martina is very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator and enthusiastic, so much so that she extended the allotted time. I would recommend Martina as your guide.
