Bonjour! My name is Claudio and I am a licensed tour guide since 2016. After having achieved a degree in Tourism for Cultural Heritage at the University of Naples (Italy) I followed my dream to travel around the world to explore new countries, and cultures and learn languages. When I came to France I fell in love with Paris, "the city of love"! Today, Paris is home for me and I am proud to share my passion and love for its incredible history through my profession. 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. I would be more than happy to make the most of your Parisian experience. Licensed Tour Guide As a licensed Tour Guide I can take you anywhere in France. I am not a driver, but I can arrange for private transportation and a driver.

Claudio was such a fabulous tour guide for our first time at Palais Garnier. He has the perfect (and a gifted) personality to not only share his wealth of knowledge and passion, but to engage with his clients and sense their interests. My husband comes on tours reluctantly with me as so many have been disappointing or exhausting for him in the past, but he joins me in rating Claudio 5 stars. Both of us hope to take another tour with Claudio before long. I can’t say enough positive things about him to do him justice.

Claudio was outstanding. His passion for the Opera House was evident as soon as we met him. We would highly recommend him to be your guide.

Claudio's tour of Palais Garnier was a Master's Class in History of the Opera House. We had 4 in our private tour and Claudio spoke as if we were the only people in the Opera House. A true historical performance by Claudio that was only upstaged by the beautiful graceful decor of Palais Garnier. Merci Claudio
