About Tour Guide Deniz K.
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.

Bonjour ! My name is Anthony and I am a dedicated tour guide with 10 years of experience ! As a true parisian, I practice the "art de vivre", the french lifestyle which is all about enjoying art, food, events, architecture and a slow pace of life. Weither you are curious minds, wanderers, a family, a couple, celebrating or just passing by, my only wish is to fill you with good experiences, stories and memories. As a certified tour guide and a very experienced traveller myself, I understood that this is only possible with a certain level of quality mixed with a good level of fun. You are welcome any time, bienvenue !

I have lived in Paris since 2019 and am passionate about sharing the history and secrets of the City of Light! I lead private tours for families and small groups to help them feel at ease in the city. Drawing from my experience working in museum education, my routes are based in the rich history of the area and are easily adaptable for families with children of all ages. My tours include the history of the sites, a peek into Parisian everyday life, and activities for kids when applicable.
