Bonjour, and welcome to France! My name is Olesya, and I am a professional, licensed guide. I first came to Paris twenty years ago to study at Sorbonne University, and from there, I gave a piece of my heart to this magical city. My love for Paris is ever-growing, and I would be more than happy to share it with you! After graduating from Sorbonne University, where I studied English philology and literature, I worked as a professional translator for numerous Parisian and international translation agencies. Striving to be more in touch with other people and deepen my knowledge in history of art, I pursued my studies at the National Guides' School in Paris and the Ecole du Louvre to become a professional guide. Now, fully licensed, I am delighted to introduce you to the magic of Paris and its rich, fascinating history and outstanding architecture. Paris is truly where history is so alive that you can literally touch it. With me as your guide, you will discover Paris and gain a bucket-load of knowledge. But don't worry! There are no classes, homework, or tons of research to do here. Simply allow me to lead you through the streets of Paris - in a relaxing, easygoing, and enjoyable way! The great part is that anyone can benefit from my tours, and they are 100% family-friendly. All tours can also be tailored according to your needs and desires. What's more is that being a fully licensed guide gives me a little (huge!) advantage to skip all the crowds and queues in most of the museums and monuments! My biggest enjoyment on tours is to "crack the codes" of museum masterpieces. I connect with people individually, giving them the keys to better appreciate artworks and monuments, translating them into a language you can understand. I love seeing faces brighten with new knowledge! I mostly enjoy surprising people - and I like to be surprised myself. Paris is the perfect location for this! Are you ready to journey on your thrilling French adventure? - French Government License that enables me to guide you through all museums and monuments with priority access - no queuing here! - Degree in History of Art obtained at the School of the Louvre (École du Louvre) - Master's degree in French and English linguistics, philology, and literature.

In three hours of our walking, you will learn how Paris has developed over time and has grown from a fishing village of the Celtic tribe to one of the most visited capitals in the world. Alongside the history of the city, I will help you see the French capital in all its diversity and show its most interesting places! The tour will begin on the left bank of Paris, in the Latin Quarter - the center of the city's intellectual life and the antique Paris. Next, we will go to explore the Cité Island- the heart of Paris - with the incredible Notre Dame Cathedral and the old royal palace of the Conciergerie. After, we'll move to the Opera Garnier area. Here, you will plunge into the atmosphere of the 19th century Paris and we'll end up our walk on the rooftop of one of the oldest Parisian department stores from where you can enjoy beautiful views of the French capital.
Olesya is a wealth of information on the history and culture of Paris. She did a great job showing us the areas we were most interested in. She has a very pleasant personality, took photos of us at key sites, and even made a lunch reservation on our behalf at an excellent restaurant. Olesya is a gem!
We had an excellent tour of the Marais, Notre Dame, and Latin Quarter with Olesya. Her depth of knowledge was incredible and it was truly a pleasure to spend half a day with her getting to know more about Paris history.
