Hello and welcome! Since 2015, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding travelers from all over the world through the magical streets of Paris. Born just a stone’s throw from the Palace of Versailles, I’ve always been passionate about French history—and Paris in particular. I know this magnificent city like the back of my hand and love sharing its hidden stories and secrets. After spending a few inspiring years in Spain, I returned to Paris to study Literature at the Sorbonne. Alongside my studies, I also pursued my other great passion: music. Today, I’m proud to call myself both a professional singer and a licensed tour guide. I offer a wide range of historical tours in Paris and beyond. Whether you’d like a relaxed walking tour, a journey using the city’s excellent public transport, or a premium experience with a private driver, I can tailor each visit to suit your pace and preferences. So come along as we explore Paris together—its iconic landmarks, lesser-known corners, and timeless charm. I’ll take you to all my favorite spots, and maybe even a few places only locals know. À bientôt in Paris! Marc Candes - Official Licensed Guide-Conferencier - Bachelor degree in French Literature and History at Sorbonne University, Paris - Guide in Paris since 2015

My wife and I took Marc's tour of the Musee D'Orsay. It was a terrific tour. Marc was very knowledgeable and imparted his information in an easy- to- understand manner. His pace was perfect, and we were able to see the most of the most interesting art pieces in the allotted time of the tour. You will not go wrong booking this tour with Marc.

Our Musee d'Orsay Tour with Marc was a highlight of our time in Paris. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. His tour included an overview of the museum itself, and it's transformation from a railroad station. Then it was off to the galleries with a focus on a number of French artists and the history and development of several artistic movements they were part of. Marc responded promptly to all inquiries leading up to the tour. We had a great time. Highly recommend!
