Guide #59824
Hello and welcome! My name is Rayan, and I’m a private guide based in Paris. If this is your first time visiting Paris, you’re in the right place. Choosing the right guide can truly change your experience, especially in a city as rich, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming as Paris. My goal is to help you see the highlights, understand the history, and enjoy the city in a relaxed, comfortable, and well-organized way, without stress and without rushing. I’ve been working in the tourism industry for more than ten years. I began my guiding career in the south of France before focusing my expertise on Paris, where I now specialize in private tours for first-time visitors, families, couples, and travelers who want to make the most of their time. I’ve guided many international travelers and understand exactly what first-time visitors are looking for: clear explanations, good pacing, flexibility, and a friendly guide who makes everything easy. My tours focus on the must-see sights of Paris as well as beautiful viewpoints, charming neighborhoods, and fascinating stories that bring the city to life. Rather than overwhelming you with dates and facts, I explain history in a simple, engaging way, so everything makes sense and stays memorable. Many guests tell me it feels like exploring Paris with a knowledgeable local friend. I speak fluent English and French, ensuring smooth communication and a comfortable experience throughout your tour. Each tour is personalized to your interests, energy level, and schedule, whether you want a classic highlights tour, a relaxed introduction to the city, or a scenic day trip outside Paris. I also offer private excursions such as: • Versailles (half day) • Normandy D-Day Landing Beaches • Normandy Highlights • Mont Saint-Michel • Champagne region • Loire Valley Castles • Giverny, Claude Monet’s home and gardens If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, and experienced guide who truly cares about your experience, I’d be delighted to show you Paris. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you create unforgettable memories in France.

We threw Rayan a curveball. The tour was billed as highlights of Paris, but we had already seen the majority of them. So I asked that he take us to places a bit off the beaten path. He succeeded admirably, providing knowledgeable commentary throughout. He is very courteous and was considerate of my wife's mobility challenges. I was astonished to learn that he is...

Can't say enough about TBL but especially Rayan! We had a wonderful day; he was patient and very knowledgeable. Gave us great recommendations for restaurants. Great driver and patient with some of our 'slower moving' crew! Highly recommend!!
