Bonjour! I’m Anna — a Paris-based guide, a multilingual mom, and a certified history addict with a soft spot for love stories, crime tales, and croissants (not always in that order). Educated across Europe and the U.S.A., I’ve collected diplomas, languages, and international experience. After a decade in Paris, I’ve learned its moods, myths, secrets, and hidden gems. Now I share them with curious travelers who want more than “Instagram Paris.” Whether we’re wandering through the Marais chasing medieval knights, strolling bohemian Montmartre in the steps of artists, or discussing which pastry truly rules Paris (spoiler: still pain au chocolat), my tours are designed to be fun, engaging, and full of stories. AND FOR KIDS ALSO:) If history isn’t normally your thing — don’t worry. I’m a mom and a teacher, my tours are flexible, customized, and paced to match your interests, whether you’re a family, a couple, a solo traveler, or a group of friends. Let’s turn your Paris trip into a story worth telling — one you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.

Anna is a wonderful guide! She is so knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame, not only the restoration after the fire, but the history of its development. She was very flexible with us, being sure to show us the highlights when our grandchild got tired. Her enthusiasm for the place and its history and what goes on inside shined through the tour. And the place itself is just remarkable, not to be missed.
Anna was very knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame. She explained the restoration process . We really enjoyed the tour with Anna
Our tour was excellent. We met our guide, Anna, on time at the agreed-upon location. She was very knowledgeable about both the history as well as the reconstruction after the fire in 2019. She interspersed her history with interesting anecdotes. She was able to answer all of our questions. We did not feel rushed which enabled us to spend some time discussing key points of interest to us. We would highly recommend this tour and guide.
We enjoyed this tour very much. Geidre is a wealth of Notre Dame knowledge. Just enough time to hear about the history and reconstruction of the cathedral.
Anna was great. She had alot of facts on the renovations of Notre Dame and the process that went into deciding how it would be done. Quite interesting. She brought a magazine/newspaper account of pictures of the destruction. Anna was very personable and patient as she took questions from all 4 of us with our different interests.
Ana our tour guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable , friendly and full of information that was easy to understand.
