with a Private Guide

Welcome to Private Guide in Paris, a boutique travel design company dedicated to private tours and tailor-made experiences in Paris and beyond.

I design and deliver personalized private tours for couples, families, friends, student groups, and corporate events, from cultural discoveries to immersive experiences.

As a licensed tour guide, I personally lead many of our tours, and I also collaborate with a carefully selected team of expert guides, each specialized in their field—art history, photography, gastronomy, architecture, or French history.

Whether you wish to explore the Louvre, wander through Montmartre, discover the Palace of Versailles, enjoy a food tour, or organize a private visit for a seminar or academic group, I create meaningful experiences at your own pace, away from the crowds, with professionalism, flexibility, and a personal touch.

Private Tours

in Paris with professional local guides

Hiring a private guide in Paris means more than just visiting monuments. It’s about gaining insight into French history, culture, and daily life. Instead of following a large group, you enjoy a personalized tour adapted to your rhythm. I’ll take you through hidden courtyards, local markets, and secret spots that most travelers never get to see.
