With a deep-rooted passion for French history and a background in business analysis, I view every tour as a complex, beautiful story waiting to be told. Having lived in France since 2021 and transitioned from a career in management to the heart of the tourism industry, I bring a unique, analytical perspective to the city’s past. When I’m not leading walks through the streets of Paris, I’m documenting the city’s hidden secrets as a blog writer, dedicated to uncovering the 'why' behind the monuments we love.

JCJohn CVerifiedFeb 2026“My guide was very kind knowledgeable. It was a fun tour and learned a lot about the history of France. This was my first trip to Paris and he was very accommodating. I’ll gladly use their services again if I visit again in the future.Our guided tour of Notre Dame was, without question, one of the best tours we have experienced in our over 50 years of traveling. Our guide, Shabrez, was personable and very knowledgeable and provided us with a very full and entertaining overview of many interesting aspects of the cathedral. He made our tour enjoyable by using anecdotes, fun historical facts and involved us in the tour through many clever questions. Shabrez is not only a wonderful guide, he would make a great teacher. Overall it was a memorable experience and we thanked Shabrez for making this tour our top experience in our visit to Paris.”
SScottVerifiedJan 2026“This tour is Second-to None! Shabrez, our guide, combined his extensive knowledge and exceptional people skills, including his excellent communication, infectious enthusiasm, entertaining storytelling and outgoing personality to bring Notre Dame to life and create a memorable experience, one that will soon not be forgotten. Shabrez was extremely interactive and fun, making sure that all our questions were answered. Unable to answer a query at the time, Shabrez went the extra mile to research it and follow-up the next morning with the information, through text. Enjoying our time and learning so much about Notre Dame, we did not want our time with Shabrez to end! When in Paris, do not let this tour pass you by….it truly is Second-to None! He made our tour enjoyable by using anecdotes, fun historical facts and involved us in the tour through many clever questions. Shabrez is not only a wonderful guide, he would make a great teacher. Overall it was a memorable experience and we thanked Shabrez for making this tour our top experience in our visit to Paris.”
