Private Paris Tours — Highlights, Museums & Versailles with your Local guide, Celia S. Bonjour et Bienvenue! Planning a trip to Paris? Whether it’s your first visit or a return journey, I would be delighted to help you discover the city in a meaningful and enjoyable way. I have called Paris home for over 30 years. Born in Hong Kong, I fell in love with this city through both its history and its everyday life, and I continue to enjoy sharing it with visitors from around the world. As a French government-certified Guide-Conférencier with over 10 years of experience, I offer carefully designed private tours that combine iconic landmarks with authentic Parisian atmosphere. My experiences include Paris highlights tours, charming neighborhood walks, and museum visits such as the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay. I also guide day trips to Versailles, where I am specially qualified to offer the Private Apartment of Kings VIP tour as well as longer excursions to destinations such as Normandy or Mont Saint-Michel. My approach is structured yet flexible: each tour has a clear design, while remaining adapted to your pace, interests, and travel style. I enjoy bringing history to life through storytelling, while also including simple pleasures such as café stops, bakeries, and local discoveries. My goal is to offer you a relaxed, enriching, and beautifully balanced experience of Paris and beyond. French government-certified Guide-Conférencier Member of FNGIC (Fédération Nationale des Guides Interprètes)

We loved our tour with Celia. She was so knowledgeable and completely customized it to what we wanted to see. As soon as we got to the Louvre, I knew we made the right decision because we got right in super quick and she was an expert on navigating the space. Would definitely book a tour with her. It made the whole day worth it.

Celia was well organized and extremely knowledgeable. Although I had visited the Louvre many times, I learned so many important facts about the building and the art work that I had missed before. Celia also made a point of engaging our 12 year old in the experience. Highly recommend !!

Although I have toured the Louvre before, this was the first time for my 20 year old daughter and I wanted to ensure that she stay interested so we decided to tour with a guide. Celia was the perfect fit! She is so warm and engaging, providing us with detailed information about works of art that we would have never known if we had been there on our own. Celia did a great job introducing us to different areas of the museum and took us to some furnished rooms that I never knew existed but were exquisite! The two hours passed in a flash and it left my daughter wanting to come back in the future, which I would have never predicted. I would highly recommend this tour with Celia!

Celia was an excellent guide. She made navigating the Louvre very easy and ensured we saw key pieces. Celia is knowledgeable and we all learned something, including my teens. in addition, she was funny and you can tell she is passionate not only about the Lourve, but Paris and its history. Highly recommend!
