Whether it’s your first time in Paris or your twentieth, tell me what you want to see and then put yourself in my hands. Just “follow me!” to food markets, cemeteries (something I particularly love to do), Montmartre (no, we don't climb the hill to get to the Sacre Coeur), one of a kind boutiques or "Les Grands Magasins", or maybe just explore a particular arrondissement you've read about. You name it, I promise I can find it.

Paris by the glass? Why not? France is one of the largest wine producers in the world. And the labels on the bottles often don’t tell you much about what’s inside. We may not get to visit the vineyards in person on this tour but we'll stop in some great wine shops and wine bars to learn about and sample some of France’s best wines. And you don’t have to break the bank to do it. This tour is available Tuesday – Saturday.

Intimidated by the what you've heard about the flea market at Clignancourt? The "Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen" as it's known, is a fun and exciting place to visit. There's the junk side and the other side and I know them both very well. And every year, the market just gets better with new restaurants and vendors. You’ll need a good eye and cash to detect those special finds, but don’t worry if you don’t speak French, I’ll interpret. If you want to take a bit of old Paris home with you, come with me to the Flea Market.

The Louvre can be intimidating because of it’s massive size and equally massive collection. And while I’m by far no expert, I do know my way around the building. Granted, you can do the Louvre on your own, but it’ll be less stressful and a lot more fun with me. We'll spend about 2 hours exploring this former home to the Royal families of France. We can see the pieces you've always heard talked about (Mona Lisa of course) and visit some rooms that hold delightful surprises. When we’re done, we’ll spend some time in the neighborhood around the Louvre and call it a half-day tour. There’s still lots more to see...

Have you ever been somewhere and all you could think was, "WOW that's beautiful!" Happens to me all the time in Paris. Let me show you the most known and iconic sites in Paris. If your time is limited, this is the tour for you. Don’t forget to bring your camera and wear comfortable shoes!

I'm fascinated with the stories surrounding the Second World War and its impact on France and the psyche of the French people. It was a very complicated time and left deep wounds and scars – and not just on the land. There is a very moving memorial to French Resistance fighters at Mont Valerian (an old fort just on the outskirts of Paris) and around the corner, an American Military. This tour includes visits to both.

You’ve made it to Paris. But wait, how do the metro and bus systems work? How is the city laid out? Are the French really rude? (No, I think they are mostly misunderstood and I can explain.) Should I use the taxis? Where are the public toilets? Where are the best chocolate shops?

For all of this and more, book a half-day tour with me. We'll meet at your hotel, apartment, or a nearby café - as you like, and we'll take a look at the metro & city maps then take a walk around. We'll find a few key places in your "quartier", pop into a metro station, take a bus and see how it all works. Finally, I'll answer any questions you have about Paris, navigation-wise or otherwise.
