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!

Overview of your Paris tour

Seeing the best Paris has to offer in a day: 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 cover all the main sites and of course stop for lunch (can't have you dying of starvation on my watch). On these full day tours, I'll make sure to also include walks in lovely local neighborhoods, market streets, and of course a stop for lunch at a French cafe, as locals do. We can of course taste crepes 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.

very enjoyable tour! We did alot of walking. took the subway to some locations. Michael was amazing. we learned so much about each location we visited. He provided help on anything we needed for the other days we were there. Went to a great crepe restaurant for lunch. be prepared to walk and have comfortable shoes. A great way to see the city and visit the amazing sites!

Michael was an amazing guide! He showed me everything I asked to see and was an absolute joy to tour with. It felt like a day with a friend in Paris.

Michael was the perfect guide! Professional, knowledgeable, passionate and easygoing. He made the rich history of Paris come alive as we explored iconic sites like the Marais, Notre Dame, Latin Quarter, Luxembourg Gardens, and Saint Germain. He skillfully navigated us through both the historic center and western monuments like the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, and Montmartre, making excellent use of walking and the metro. The itinerary was flexible and tailored to our interests. So many hidden gems! If you're looking for a truly personalized and memorable Paris experience, Michael is the one to book!

My family of 5, with 3 teens, had a limited time to visit Paris and really wanted to see as much of the city as possible. We signed up for a full day tour with Michael, and absolutely loved the entire experience. Michael was well prepared and communicative prior to our travel and helped walk us through the complications that the Paris Olympics introduced into navigating the city. Not only did Michael give us an outstanding tour of the city with great architectural, historical and sociological information, but also helped us navigate the cities metro system, all while dealing with our 3 rambunctious teens! Michael was such a friendly and accommodating guide, that my wife commented to me that it felt more like touring the city with family than with a tour guide. I can’t recommend Michael enough! You absolutely will not be disappointed in your selection when you book him!!

Michael was friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We asked for an overview of the highlights of Paris and Michael led us on a full day adventure. This tour helped us realize how large Paris is and the benefits of having a guide who can handle the nuances of public transportation.
