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

Experience Paris in comfort and style on my private car tour. This experience blends panoramic sightseeing with a few stops for photos and leisurely walks through charming courtyards, elegant squares, and hidden passages—so you don’t just see Paris, you truly experience it. Throughout the tour, you will get a lively and accessible overview of Parisian history: Kings and Queens, Revolutions, Empires, World Wars, and the making of modern Paris. You’ll also learn to recognise the city’s major architectural styles, from Gothic masterpieces to Haussmann’s grand boulevards, along with touches of French culture and food traditions. Customisable with typical stops like Notre Dame, Louvre, Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, Champs-Elysées, Place de la Concorde, and Arc de Triomphe. Time-wise, other options include the Eiffel Tower and Napoleon’s Tomb or Montmartre or even a short walk in Saint-Germain or Marais. With your private guide and private driver, you’ll enjoy maximum comfort and flexibility.
10:00 AM pick-up from your hotel, with drop-off around 2:00 PM—or, for example, at the Eiffel Tower (reserve tickets at toureiffel.paris, and we’ll drop you there). The tour is fully customizable, blending iconic monuments with hidden gems, charming streets, squares, and gardens. If you’d like to visit inside Notre Dame Cathedral, a 9:00 AM start is recommended, especially in summer. I can also tailor this tour to 6 or 8 hours, or you can combine it with one of my other tours—like the Louvre, Montmartre, or Versailles—for the afternoon. Feel free to send me a message to plan your perfect day!
