Bonjour! I am your private guide in Paris and Versailles. I specialise in customised, private tours for travellers who value authentic experiences and storytelling over ticking off landmarks. With over 15 years of experience, I design itineraries that focus on slow-paced exploration, uncovering the history, art, and hidden corners of Paris and Versailles at a comfortable rhythm. Originally from the Netherlands, I moved to Paris after completing a Bachelor degree in Tourism and Leisure Management and a Master’s degree in Political Science. What began as a short stay quickly became permanent — I fell in love with the city, its culture, and its neighbourhoods. I combined this passion with formal training and earned my official French tour guide licence, giving skip-the-line access to museums and monuments. Whether you want cultural walking tours, skip-the-line museum visits, family-friendly experiences, or hidden gems, I create a personalised, engaging journey that is immersive, memorable, and truly yours. Send me a message or book one of the existing tours directly via the tour pages! NEW in 2026: - First time Paris tour by car - Half day Versailles by car - VIP behind the scènes Versailles with a visit to the private apartments of Louis XV and XVI. Also write me for full day versions or requests for groups over 6 persons. Qualifications: Official Licensed and Certified Tour Guide for France (Ministry of Culture and Tourism) Member of the National Association of Licensed Tour Guides in France (FNGIC) Master’s Degree in Political Science International Relations (University of Amsterdam) Bachelor of Arts in Tourism and Leisure Management (NHTV University of Applied Sciences, Breda) PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor

Snow or no snow - grey, cold and rainy - experience Paris in winter, when the city takes on a quieter, more atmospheric charm. Starting near Notre-Dame, we'll wander through the Left Bank and discover a mix of historic neighborhoods, beautiful streets, gardens and hidden corners. Along the way, we'll enjoy the festive atmosphere of the season and, when open, stop at a Christmas market. We'll make our way to the Luxembourg Gardens, with time for a delicious hot chocolate to warm up before continuing our walk toward the Seine and the Tuileries. This is a relaxed, private walk with plenty of time to enjoy Paris, hear its stories and take in the winter atmosphere. The route can be adapted to your interests and the weather.
