A Note on Paris 🇫🇷 Don’t let sensational headlines discourage you from visiting Paris. Demonstrations are part of French culture, generally localized, and continue to never affect the Paris visitors come to experience. I’ve been guiding throughout the city daily and haven’t encountered a single protest. Paris is as beautiful and welcoming as ever. Come and enjoy it! 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. I will be happy to play a small role in helping you create an iconic experience in the most toured city in the world.

What a great way to explore Paris! Thomas has a great knowledge about the city of Paris and with his knowledge of the metro, we were able to visit many, many areas of Paris. The photos Thomas took were beautiful and they will give us special lasting memories of our time in Paris. Thank you Thomas.

Thomas provided exactly what we hoped he would, an introduction to Paris that gave us a good feel for the city and took us to places we may never have gone to on our own. Of course he showed us many of the highlights, but he also made it a point to show us how to navigate the Metro, choose good cafes and restaurants, and avoid some of the “tourist traps”. He highlighted history and architecture and other nuances that make Paris such a unique place. After our day with Thomas we were very confident in heading out on our own to enjoy other parts of what this vibrant city has to offer. All in all, we covered a lot of ground. Thomas was punctual, prepared and thorough! At the end of the day we were a bit tired, but really felt that Thomas had delivered on what was offered! Receiving photos of our day with him was a nice bonus!

FIVE STARS – HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We had a wonderful tour of Paris with Thomas. From the moment he met us at our hotel until he dropped us off at the end of the day, it was like traveling with an old friend. He took us to areas at famous landmarks that were less crowded and found the most perfect photo ops for our family. The pictures he sent us were amazing and a beautiful memento of the trip for our family. He planned a well-thought-out schedule of sites for us but was also completely flexible and would pivot to find a store or café my daughter mentioned was trending. He was just as excited as she was to find it. Throughout the day, he recommended restaurants and landmarks we should see on our own and followed up with a list of his favorites. We spent our first full day in Paris with Thomas. He gave us a great overview of the city and the confidence to explore on our own during the rest of the trip.

Highest ratings for our Paris guide Tom. He brought us to see iconic Paris sites and places we'd never know about any other way! Tom taught us how to be a Parisian for a day. We rode the Metro all over town! He personalized our experience throughout our time together so we'd see a lot with him. He helped order amazing food at a French Cafe for lunch. Later we were shown the most beautiful pastry selection in Paris! He took some great photos and sent them to us! What a perfect day!!

Thomas was a wonderful guide-he was flexible, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! We enjoyed learning about the culture, great shopping spots, & finding the best coffee, pastries, & macaroons. He was personable and always open to a new adventure. It was our favorite day we had in Paris!!!
