Bonjour, my name is Michael and I'm a fun university English professor who fell in love with Paris. I've been in France for 12 years. When I first arrived from my native Jamaica, France was a culture shock. It's true it can be hard sometimes to navigate and waiters can be rude and it took me a while to understand the codes, but now I consider myself 100% French and would love to share my experience with you as we explore this beautiful city together. Not only do I want to take you to the famous sights and help you take the best possible photos, but I will also take you to lesser-known neighborhoods with beautiful markets, bakeries, and cheese shops. I'll share my favorite addresses with you as well: crêpes, macaroons, and everything sweet the city has to offer! I will guide you through the most essential historical and architectural sights, so you get some context, but without this being a boring class. Expect my tours to be fun, dynamic, and interactive. I look forward to meeting you soon in Paris. MA in Applied Foreign Languages (English/ Spanish) with specialisation in International Project Negotiation BA in Applied Foreign Languages (english/ Spanish) I cannot guide inside museums, so for that kind of tour, I would suggest you book one of my licensed colleagues instead and book me for outdoor and city tours. Thanks!

A half day overview of the historical center of Paris
Overview of your Paris tour
Seeing the best Paris has to offer in 3 hours: Are you up to the challenge? Let's do it! Fun facts and historical anecdotes will keep you entertained and leave you feeling like an expert on all things Paris. We'll walk through the historical center which consists of the Marais, the two islands, Notre Dame, the Pantheon, the Latin Quarter, Luxembourg Gardens, Saint Germain Church, the Louvre and Palais Royal. We can of course taste crepes, Bertillon ice cream and macarons along the way. Paris is an amazing city, where a beautiful monument pops up every few minutes. Each has a story to tell. You will quickly fall in love with it, just like I did.
