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.

This was my 2nd tour of the Marais with Silvia and she showed us many historic spots complete with interesting facts as well as all the WWII sites I wanted to revisit. We think Silvia is an excellent guide, friendly and knowledgeable! And fun! We never felt rushed and she even walked us to the north end of the Marais. I would book her again for other tours in the future.

Silvia was outstanding making sure we saw gems on the tour that large group tours would miss. A wonderful balance of history, beautiful sights and excellent food recommendations. Very accommodating, Silvia exceeded expectations. A fabulous overview of Marais.

Silvia was personable, professional, knowledgeable, flexible and engaging during our tour of Marias. She was truly invested in making our experience memorable, educational, exciting, and tasty. Silvia also took us to some wonderful restaurants. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and unfalteringly answered all of our questions! What a gem!!

We had a lovely morning tour of the Marais district with Silvia! Charming area with lots of history and Silvia had great suggestions for unique treat breaks and hot chocolate! Only regret is booking this tour our last day and not our first!

Wonderful morning for the walking tour of the Marais. Silvia was great showing us the most interesting shops with various tastings due our walk. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to visit the multiple gardens and plazas during our walk. She proved to be a great photographer to get us some memories. Even though it started to rain heavily, we got to our lunch destination and Silvia assisted with getting us an indoor table to help us begin to dry out. Thanks.

Silvia provided a great tour of the Marais & also taught us to use the Paris Metro. This set us up for an outstanding week in Paris. Silva's knowledge of the details and nuances of the Marais were perfect.
