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.

The secret of fashion - Paris fashion and Haute couture tour
It has been centuries that Paris is the capital of fashion. This is a city who can still define beauty and taste. Those names, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton...still stir dreams and emotions. But why does Paris have this reputation? As a former lifestyle columnist, I had the chance to get into the heart of the fashion scene and learnt the amazing history of French fashion. I will share the most unexpected anecdotes of legendary designers and their ups and lows.
Pastry and history tour in Marais- the prettiest neighborhood of Paris
The magical thing with Le Marais is that even if it is a very visited district of Paris, it is also at the same time the most original. As a former freelance columnist, I was lucky enough to meet many authentic food craftsmen full of talent and soul & who settled down in Le Marais, some in the 17th century, and others just a few months ago. This mouth-watering journey will have you taste some the most delightful creations, very importantly they are very HEALTHY too!

The heart of Paris - 3h Paris old town walking tour

The heart of Paris, where Notre Dame church erects and where Seine flows was where Paris was born. Follow me in the steps of History to discover Paris's main highlights on a 3h walk from Notre-Dame Cathedral to place Dauphine, the Pont Neuf and the Louvre!

2h walking tour of Montmartre - following the foot steps of great artists
Situated in the northeast part of Paris, lies the charming and artistic neighborhood of Montmartre. This bucolic district is associated with the greatest names in art history - Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso and many more. We can still feel their presence today, their free spirit and their talent. Adorned with winding cobblestone streets, vintage shops, quaint eateries and the majestic Sacre Coeur basilica on top of the hill, this neighborhood remains a favorite for tourists and locals alike.

“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!
