Bonjour, my name is Michael and I'm a fun university English professor who fell in love with Paris. I've been in France for 12 years. When I first arrived from my native Jamaica, France was a culture shock. It's true it can be hard sometimes to navigate and waiters can be rude and it took me a while to understand the codes, but now I consider myself 100% French and would love to share my experience with you as we explore this beautiful city together. Not only do I want to take you to the famous sights and help you take the best possible photos, but I will also take you to lesser-known neighborhoods with beautiful markets, bakeries, and cheese shops. I'll share my favorite addresses with you as well: crêpes, macaroons, and everything sweet the city has to offer! I will guide you through the most essential historical and architectural sights, so you get some context, but without this being a boring class. Expect my tours to be fun, dynamic, and interactive. I look forward to meeting you soon in Paris. MA in Applied Foreign Languages (English/ Spanish) with specialisation in International Project Negotiation BA in Applied Foreign Languages (english/ Spanish) I cannot guide inside museums, so for that kind of tour, I would suggest you book one of my licensed colleagues instead and book me for outdoor and city tours. Thanks!

Michael is a very nice and professional guide. He responds to any inquiry timely. We were on Princess cruise and the ship stopped at Normandy for one day. Michael gave me suggestions on how/when to take train from Normandy to Paris. He met with us at the train station to start the local tour. Very knowledgeable and nice. Highly recommend to book with him on your next Paris visit.

Michael arrived on time at our hotel to begin our tour. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I also appreciated that he organized a route and transportation prior to our tour to optimize our time. His tips about the subway helped us in navigating even after our tour when we decided to go out the next day in Paris. Thanks for a great experience.

I was in Paris alone, as my husband was here on business. Michael was exactly what I was looking for. I am not a history buff, but am interested in the details of certain things. He gave me exactly what I was looking for, not stuffy, very knowledgeable, took me to many sights, as I am ADHD. He made this day trip fun & got me back to where I needed to be on time, missing an appointment of his own. I would call him up if ever in Paris again. Appreciated the genuine personality. Thanks Michael!
