After working privately for the last 5 years as a tour guide. I'm happy to be a part of ToursByLocals and to share with you, the most toured city on the globe; Paris, France. My other work in Paris, I'm a professional photographer and I'm glad to also provide you with images of your experience in the French capital. I have lived in Paris since 2015 and I find it to be a city that puts a lot of pressure on guests to see the many important sites, it's my job to make your trip seamless, unique and unforgettable. I specialize in custom tours, you're the boss, I tailor make the majority of my tours to suit your needs. I'm able to combine both my love of showcasing the features of Paris, and my craft and technical expertise in the art of image making. I thoroughly enjoy showcasing the countless options that Paris has to offer visitors. I provide an exceptionally high level of customer service and compassion for my guests. When we part, you will also have my recommendations on more options during your stay. It is also not uncommon for my clients to book an additional day or extend our tour. I believe my extensive knowledge of the city and my understanding of how a first class experience should feel, allow me to provide you with a very unique result. I love Europe, architecture, history, food, cinema, art, fashion and interior design.
