Your Belgian Guide in Paris. I won't just show you Paris — I'll help you understand the French. I'm Frederic, a licensed guide and former Cultural Tourism lecturer at the Sorbonne. I moved to Paris from Belgium in 2012, which means I see the city as a local and as an outsider: I know where Parisians actually live, and I will explain to you why they do things the way they do. My private walks take you through Le Marais, Île de la Cité and more district under the radar, through stories of art, architecture, migrations and food. Every tour can be tailored to you. I don't do museums or the Eiffel Tower — plenty of guides do that very well. Rather, I'll take you where the real Paris happens. Tours in English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. 4.9★ from 31 travellers. My tours are perfect for curious minds, return visitors, and anyone who wants to connect with the real Paris. À bientôt ! Please note all my tours can be customized and adapted to your needs. - Licensed guide - 10+ years living in Paris - Masters degree in Translation (English-Spanish) - Masters degree in Social Communication - 10+ years experience teaching (English and Cultural Tourism at the Sorbonne University) - 5+ years experience guiding in Paris - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 2 in wine - Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) level 1 in sake - Civic Prevention and Rescue Level 1
