Guide #3609
Bonjour! I am your private guide in Paris and Versailles. I specialise in customised, private tours for travellers who value authentic experiences and storytelling over ticking off landmarks. With over 15 years of experience, I design itineraries that focus on slow-paced exploration, uncovering the history, art, and hidden corners of Paris and Versailles at a comfortable rhythm. Originally from the Netherlands, I moved to Paris after completing a Bachelor degree in Tourism and Leisure Management and a Master’s degree in Political Science. What began as a short stay quickly became permanent — I fell in love with the city, its culture, and its neighbourhoods. I combined this passion with formal training and earned my official French tour guide licence, giving skip-the-line access to museums and monuments. Whether you want cultural walking tours, skip-the-line museum visits, family-friendly experiences, or hidden gems, I create a personalised, engaging journey that is immersive, memorable, and truly yours. Send me a message or book one of the existing tours directly via the tour pages! NEW for 2026: A car version of my best-seller First time Paris tour and the half day Versailles tour. Also write me for full day versions or requests for groups over 6 persons. Qualifications: Official Licensed and Certified Tour Guide for France (Ministry of Culture and Tourism) Member of the National Association of Licensed Tour Guides in France (FNGIC) Master’s Degree in Political Science International Relations (University of Amsterdam) Bachelor of Arts in Tourism & Leisure Management (NHTV University of Applied Sciences, Breda) PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor

Susanne V gave us a wonderful 3 hour tour of the Right Bank - thorough and very informative. She is professional, personable and has a wonderful sense of humor! We highly recommend her.
Although I had toured Versailles before, this was the first time I used a guide and I am so glad I found Susanne! She is extremely knowledgeable about “all things Versailles” and had a very pleasant manner. We decided to add the private tour of the Kings Apartments and are so glad we did! We were literally the only people in the rooms and it made the tour so special! ...
Susanne was very friendly, meeting up was easy, she is very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. Highly recommend her!
