I would be delighted to take you through some unforgettable times! Check out the list of tours I offer and do not hesitate to reach out if you have specific requests.

Claudio’s knowledge was exceptional and his delivery made it so very interesting He would be a great guide on any tour as he really works at making tour exactly what you want it to be

We toured both Versailles Palace and Les Invalides with Claudio, and both experiences were outstanding. At Les Invalides, Claudio guided us expertly through Napoleon’s rise and fall, weaving together politics, military history, and personal stories with insight and enthusiasm. He did a great job in the limited time (the museum is quite large) and kept us fully engaged throughout. His explanations of the historical context were clear, vivid, and entertaining. Claudio’s depth of knowledge, warm personality, and ability to connect past and present made this tour every bit as exceptional as Versailles. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris.

Claudio was an amazing tour guide and an even better personality and person. He was very knowledgeable and kind, and my tour of Napoleon’s tomb with him was the highlight of my trip. I had some base knowledge of Napoleon before going into the tour and Claudio opened my knowledge drastically. I could not recommend booking a tour with him enough. Anyone considering hiring a guide in Paris should 100% book it with Claudio.

Claudio was brilliant 👏 I had asked for a tour focused on Napoleon the man, his rise and fall, and that is what Claudio treated us to. He expertly navigated the huge exhibition spaces at Les Invalides so we saw all that was relevant for that topic - including multiple hats worn by Napoleon- and he had more than enough historical insights to fill the 2 hours and answer all our follow up questions. A fascinating tour that I would highly recommend.
