Bonjour ! I'm Silvia. I'm passionate about art, history and I love everything about Paris. I live in the center of Paris and I know almost every corner of the city. I have been working as a tour guide for years and I have also been a destination manager for a tour operator. I do my best to use my expertise to guide my costumers and give them a unique experience in Paris. During my tours I tell many details and anecdotes about the places we visit, but at the same time I want my clients to feel like "real Parisians". I show a lot about daily life in Paris. I have been a "professional traveler" for years and I believe that the true meaning of a trip is to experience the real life of the city you are visiting. History, culture, food, I will do my best to make you discover all that with my visits, I am an expert guide, but also a friend, your friend in Paris. I will do my best to make your day in Paris an unforgettable one! - Certified licensed guide. License issued by the French Ministry of Culture and Tourism - MA in Foreign Languages - I have my drive licence but I'm not a driver guide, if you want I can arrange a car and a driver for the tour.

Our time with Sylvia in Paris was absolutely extraordinary. Spending two full eight hour days with her became the highlight of our entire trip. She brought Paris to life in a way we never expected — guiding us through the iconic landmarks with incredible insight, then taking us into the authentic neighborhoods where real Parisians live, shop, and relax. Those local experiences gave us a genuine feel for the city that no group tour could match. What made our time with Sylvia truly special was her warmth and the personal connection she created. It felt as though we were exploring Paris with a close friend rather than a guide. She was engaging, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our experience meaningful. We easily could have spent several more days with her simply because we enjoyed her company so much. Not only did Sylvia meet us right at our longship on the Seine, but she also went out of her way to ensure we returned safely and exactly at the time we requested. That level of care and attention made everything seamless. While Viking’s excursions are generally excellent, our private time with Sylvia surpassed all of them combined. Her passion, personality, and ability to tailor the experience made it unforgettable. We left Paris with a deeper appreciation and understanding than we ever could have gained on any group tour. Sylvia is an exceptional guide — and an even more exceptional person. We recommend her with absolute enthusiasm.

Best tour ever! We just finished the 8-hour walking tour and we are still buzzing from how much we loved it. The time flew by, entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Silvia who went above and beyond to make the day special. She was deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to the whole group. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were only in Paris for a few days. Highly recommend this tour! Ten out of ten.

Silvia was fabulous from beginning to end. Fun, had all the extra details, and customized for what we wanted. Even helped me find the shopping I wanted. Liked her sense of humor, and just felt comfortable all day. Don’t miss out. Book her for Paris!

Sylvia was FANTASTIC!!!!! From the moment we booked she kept in constant communication with us and offered suggestions of things to see. Having only one day in Paris Sylvia made the most of it. We saw every sight we wanted to see, and she made traveling around the city seem effortless. Her knowledge and love of her city was evident from the moment she met us at the train station. We will defiantly book another when we visit Paris again

What an amazing day, saw pretty much all of Paris! I would highly recommend our guide Sylvia. She outdid herself meeting all my requests and extra stops. We ate some out of this world desserts. It was a super fun and informative day, thank you, Merci
