About Tour Guide Nikki W.
Hello world! I am Nikki, a Chinese-French girl grew up in an international environment and now living in Paris. I will be more than happy welcoming you in my beloved Paris!
After working in multinational companies for long years and travelling around the world for my job, I decided to give myself a break. I left office work and followed classes of art history. Since 2019 I became a freelance cultural travel expert and also a freelance contributor to lifestyle media's covering art, fashion and culture.
These various experiences lead me to the most privileged happenings in the City of Light and nurtured my strong desire to share my secret find of Paris and exchange with rest of the world.
I lived in all the hippest neighborhood in Paris, le Marais, Canal st martin, Parc Monceau and Belleville, with the time I accumulated good knowledge and network of artists, galleries, designers, food shops, concept stores, cocktail bars and other off-the-beaten-track address.
I love Paris as a local but also as a tourist, I have a strong passion to find the best-kept-secret and share my personal addresses to the ones who are curious to discover the hidden gems and sensitive to culture and human contacts.

“Very Informative and Memorable ”
I had the most incredible experience with Nikki during our two day trip to Paris! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Nikki was incredibly personable and engaging. She was also knowledgeable about the city, offering insightful recommendations and even going out of her way to give us a bit of local history as we passed through iconic landmarks. Nikki made the experience feel personalized and fun. She was patient, attentive to our needs, and always willing to be flexible. The pace of the tour was perfect — not rushed, but also never dragging. I learned so much and came away with a deeper appreciation for the city. If you're looking for a memorable, informative, and truly exceptional tour experience in Paris, Nikki is the one to book. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommend!
