About Tour Guide Inga K.

I am a passionate local guide with extensive experience in Monaco and the French Riviera.

I previously worked as a guide at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco and also conducted driving tours with a Monaco company, accompanying VIP clients across some of the most iconic destinations of the French Riviera and beyond, including Èze, Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez and Sanremo.

I have recently returned from one year of solo backpacking across South and Central America, an experience that deepened my understanding of travel, cultures, human connection and authentic experiences.

Travel, for me, is not only about seeing places — it is about creating memorable moments, emotions and stories. I know how to make an experience unique, personal and special for each traveller, whether through hidden local insights, meaningful encounters, beautiful viewpoints, local culture, or simply adapting the tour to the guest’s personality and interests.

My goal is to offer travellers not just a tour, but an unforgettable experience they will remember long after returning home.
