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 go “flâner”!

Contact me and let’s discuss!

Mary from Ohio, USA 🇺🇸

“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.”

June from Singapore 🇸🇬

“Thomas was very genuine and very patiently answered all of our questions! It’s a small group , so the experience was intimate (: more like walking with a friend! Thank you again Thomas!”

Christopher from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

“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 !.”

Marie, from Cologne, Germany 🇩🇪

“Die Tour von Thomas war sehr informativ, gut durchdacht und unterhaltsam. Thomas hat uns darüber hinaus noch viele Empfehlungen in ganz Paris per Google Maps Liste zukommen lassen, woraus wir während unseres Aufenthaltes immer wieder nahegelegene, schöne Cafés für einen Espresso oder Restaurants rausgesucht haben. Wenn wir wieder nach Paris kommen melden wir uns definitiv nochmal bei Thomas. Klare Empfehlung an alle!”

Sandra from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

“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!”

Alice, from Pennsylvania, USA 🇺🇸

“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.”
