Your best personal tour guide in Paris!

Don't pay one of those "15 minutes here.........20 minutes there" tours!!! 
Take your time, make your own decisions and plan your own route.

Enjoy your stay in Paris!

My name is Elena. I live in Paris, the capital city of France, Europe.

I am licensed in French language and history at Sorbonne. I use to work like a freelance translator, interpreter and tour guide.

I enjoy providing personal tours in and out of Paris. As a visitor to France, you will want to see the famous landmarks and sights of Paris, explore the countryside and experience the culture of its people. If you want to travel at your own pace, enjoying your own interests, as your personal tour guide I can make it happen for you.

I can plan the best itinerary to fit you. You get the experience of a lifetime because your tour is personalized to be like no one else's.

During the private tour I can take care of practical details, such as assisting you with travel schedules, restaurant bookings, and inform you of opening hours for shops, museums and other locations. I know the offbeat places, markets, good cafes and hidden Paris. Whether you are a business traveller or on holiday I can give you a memorable travel experience, a reasonable price for an unforgettable tour of the City of Lights!
