Hi there! My name is Sunday -funny name I know! :) - a licensed Tour Guide in France, as well as an Art Advisor for art collectors. Originally from Australia, I fell in love with Paris growing up and have lived in the City of Lights for over 10 years. At the same time, I love it for other reasons; its pastries, cakes, macaroons, its wine, its tasty treats and its design! As a native English speaker my clients find it easy to understand and communicate with me. I work as a Private Tour Guide for individuals, families and small groups, as well as for exclusive guiding companies, from whom I have received many 5 star reviews. Guiding is a passion for me; I adore meeting new people and sharing the love of my adoptive city, its art, its monuments, its style, and its history. ABOUT MY TOURS: As an Art Historian/advisor and Licensed Guide, I'd be happy to guide you through the Louvre, to catch a glimpse of Mona Lisa's smile, to see the beauty in Monet's Water Lily's at the Musee d'Orsay, and to marvel at the wonder of the Eiffel Tower and the architecture of Notre Dame. Let's explore Paris through the best croissant in the city and coffee on a terrace, and lets sample some delicious cheeses next, pairing them with a tasty glass of Burgundy to boot! We could then wander through the design districts and look at where the top designers go to source their pieces. All my essential tours are listed, however should you be after something more unique, I am more than happy to tailor something to your wants and needs; let's discuss. I can adjust tour duration, starting time and meeting point, transportation or anything you want so as to ensure you have the best experience here in Paris! BA in Creative Arts as well as an MA in Art Curatorship from the University of Melbourne, Australia, specializing in late 19th and 20th Century Art. Work experience as an assistant curator in Australia, as well as at several reputable commercial art galleries and with many high-profile interior designers. Currently working as a private art and design advisor to international art collectors, and as a Licensed Guide in France. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Have you ever imagined a day in the life of a King? Ever wanted to stroll one of the world's most famous palace's gardens, transporting yourself to one of Marie-Antoinette's lavish picnics? If so, this is the tour for you. Within this Versailles tour, I will explain the tiny intricacies of the French Monarchy; from how they transitioned from a hunting cottage to one of the most impressive palaces and grounds ever made. We will explore just how the UNESCO declared World Heritage Site that is Château de Versailles, and learn how it became a chateau in the first place, how Louis XIV actually acquired the name of Sun King, how he grew up, and how he strategically maintained monarchical power. We'll discuss just how the monarchs' lifestyles affected the french people, and how their excesses resulted in the guillotining of King Louis XVI and his unpopular, yet exceptionally stylish, wife Marie-Antoinette during the French Revolution. Come and learn about french history through this key historical site with me!
Our tour will start traveling to Versailles from Paris by train altogether. Reaching Versailles, we will head right towards the Palace for exploring it, learning about the history of the French Kings, and also importantly, the lives of some key figures in French history, Louis XIV the Sun King, as well as Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette. We will begin covering the Royal State Apartments, which will show you the ways the monarchy lived, their lifestyles, the oddities surrounding a King's life, the excesses, and you'll learn how these excesses resulted in revolution. Please note if you are wanting a complete visit of the gardens and the Petit Trianon please book my full day Versailles tour. Please note I'm more than happy to customise this tour accordingly!
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
