Small & Private Paris Tours

For Curious Travellers Who Want That First-Time Paris Feeling.

The highlights you came for, plus the stories that make them unforgettable.



Paris is easy to dream about.

Really easy.

But once you’re here phone out ⁓ too many places saved, deciding between a museum line and a café terrace ⁓ it can start to feel like a lot. There’s so much to see and everyone seems to have a different idea of what you should do.

The right tour shouldn’t add to that.

The right tour helps you relax and find your footing. It connects the landmarks to the neighborhoods, the history to the street art and just like that, the city clicks.

The Tours

Whether you’re here to trace the footsteps of your favorite films, taste pastries that make you pause mid-bite, wander through the city’s second-hand fashion scene or explore Montmartre with a disposable camera in hand, these tours are designed to feel less like a checklist and more like exploring Paris with a friend.

All tours are private or intentionally small and thoughtfully paced, so you can see the highlights, understand the city a little better and enjoy your time here.

A Note From Your Guide

I believe Audrey Hepburn was right when she said that “every day you should have at least one exquisite moment.”

In Paris, those moments often begin with curiosity ⁓ asking questions, learning the city’s stories and noticing the small details many visitors overlook. That’s what I love sharing with my guests.
