About Thomas, Paris TOur Guide

“Paris isn’t just a destination; it’s a way of moving through the world.”

Hi, I’m Thomas, Paris Tour Guide. I am adventurous, curious and you can consider me your gateway to Paris. Traveling is my passion and there’s no better way to learn about a place than being a local.

I don’t just show you Paris; I help you belong to it. Having lived as a local in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Italy, and now France, I’ve mastered the art of navigating new cultures. Since 2013, I have called Paris home, trading tourist maps for the art of the “Flâneur”—the French secret to wandering with purpose and enjoying the hidden pulse of the city.

Whether we are tracing the shadows of the French Revolution, uncovering the hidden history of Black Paris, or finding the perfect pain au chocolat in a neighborhood bakery, my mission is to share the soul of this city beyond the postcards.

What I offer:

  • Curated City Walks: From iconic landmarks to secret gardens.
  • Food & Pastry Tours: Tasting the stories behind the flavors.
  • Custom Trip Planning: Expert logistics so you can simply enjoy the moment.

Stop being a tourist, let’s go for a stroll, let’s “flâner”!

LATEST REVIEWS

“Not only was Thomas knowledgable, he was personable while being professiional, kind and patient with us newbies. He designed a wonderful food tour for us and answered all of our questions. We could not have asked for a better kickstart tour of Paris. All 6 of us were joyfully impressed.”

— Mary, from Ohio, USA

Our “Kickstarter” tour with Thomas was the best possible way to begin our trip to Paris! He customized the experience perfectly for our group, helping us navigate several Fashion Week closures while still capturing all the highlights of the city. Thomas’s route gave us such a wonderful first impression of Paris; from delicious tastings along Marché Montorgueil to the charming covered passages like Galerie Vivienne, Palais-Royal, the Louvre, and finally ending with a beautiful stroll through the Tuileries Gardens on our way to dinner. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful; and he made sure we stayed moving (and awake!) to beat our jet lag on day one. What really stood out was his personal touch: after the tour, he followed up with a fantastic list of tailored suggestions and restaurant recommendations for the rest of our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Paris — thank you, Thomas, for setting the tone for an unforgettable trip!

— Emily, from New York, USA

“I recently had the pleasure of going on a walking tour of Paris with Thomas, and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of my trip. Thomas was incredibly friendly, engaging, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. His conversation was relaxed and fun, and he shared a wealth of knowledge about the city—its history, culture, and hidden gems that I would have never discovered on my own. What really stood out was how kind and personable Thomas was. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend rather than just a guide. He took the time to answer all our questions, and his genuine enthusiasm made the tour feel really special. If you’re looking for a fantastic, personalized tour in Paris, I can’t recommend Thomas enough. He’s a wonderful person and an excellent guide!”

— Sandra from Toronto, Canada

“Our guide, Thomas was an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly, informative and flexible. The rain was off and on and we made the best of doing inside visits to different buildings and landmarks in addition to walking through beautiful gardens and neighborhoods. We found him to be very positive and would recommend him to anyone visiting Paris.”

— Alice, from Pennsylvania, USA

“Thomas is very accommodating , he knows the area very well and showed us some hidden gems around the area. We asked for some shopping tips and he presented the Shopping Map for the area. A very friendly person too. We enjoyed the tour very much.”

— Goh from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“My girlfriend and I joined Thomas for his Paris Night Escapades in the Old Town tour on a Friday night, and it was the perfect way to experience the magic of Paris after dark. What made this tour truly special was Thomas’s deep connection to Le Marais—he’s not just a guide; he’s a regular here, and it shows. Would recommend this to anyone !! Thank you Thomas !.”

— Christopher from Dublin, Ireland
