Thinking of where to go from Paris? To Fontainebleau, of course! A marvelous palace that easily surpasses Versailles in interiors splendor and historical background that is (what's important!), never crowded!

The great palace, left in the shadow of Versailles, had been serving as French monarchs' country residence for 5 centuries! The palace where every room is filled with history (and original furniture!). Francis I and the Fontainebleau School, Henry of Navarre and Louis XIII, Anne of Austria, the Pope and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself - the walls of the palace remember a constellation of great names.

The Marais quarter: medieval times, the Templars, court intrigue and secret gardens
For lovers of history and 'something unusual' who have been to Paris before
The perfect tour for lovers of all things secret, hidden, unusual and delicious! The Marais is a mix of aristocratic mansions, hidden quiet gardens that literally take you away from the metropolis, designer shops and niche patisseries.
Today, the Marais is a pride of French heritage and one of the most authentic districts of Paris. A few kilometres that hold the stories of the Jewish community, the glittering medieval residences, the mind-blowing mansions. At various times, living in the Marais has been both cheap and dangerous, as well as prestigious and elitist. The tour will reveal the history of the area: we will visit the main church of the Marais, see the last Gothic cloister in Paris, visit a couple of mansions, relax in the gardens and find out where the tastiest cakes are made.

Montmartre
A tour for art lovers and early risers
Paris has many faces: parade and casual, bohemian and student, formal and fun. Montmartre is a very distinctive face, unique and unlike anyone but itself.
Having become part of Paris only 150 years ago, Montmartre has retained its authentic village spirit. Narrow, curving streets, picturesque staircases, charming old houses that seem to have miraculously found themselves in the metropolis. Montmartre is an area of famous cabarets, windmills and the last vineyard in Paris!
And, of course, the artists' hill, home to Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and many others. During the walk, I will introduce you to the work of these talented painters and their journey to fame.
We'll see Montmartre off the tourist trails, eat some of the best local desserts and of course take a million of great photos!

In the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway
Have you seen Midnight in Paris? Then this is the tour for you!
My signature tour that caused a stir on Airbnb
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast". With this phrase, Ernest Hemingway conjured up an image of Paris in our minds.
Reading the writer's memoirs is like smelling fresh morning bread, tasting an evening aperitif and imagining yourself strolling through the streets of the city.
Want to see Paris as Ernest Hemingway saw it and as Woody Allen recreated it in Midnight in Paris?
On this walk we will be transported to the Paris of the 'Roaring 20s'. It's a time not just of Ernest Hemingway, but also of Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Pablo Picasso and many others.
We'll see where the young Hemingway lived and worked. We stroll down his beloved Rue Mouffetard, unchanged for 100 years, and see the writer's first flat, where 'there was no hot water and no plumbing'. And his last flat in a chic Parisian mansion guarded by sphinxes. Along Rue Férou we walk down to Hemingway's favourite square and church "where there are no restaurants but only a quiet square with benches and trees". ⠀
You'll hear the story of the famous Gertrude Stein salon that rocked Paris and see where that legendary flat was located! Learn the story of the famous Shakespeare and Company library, where Hemingway borrowed books when he was broke. ⠀
Crossing the left bank of the Seine, we recreate a young writer's usual route. And perhaps it is in these streets that you will once again fall in love with Paris, as old Ham fell in love with it many times before

Let me take you back to the age of Impressionism! To the City of Lights, to the beautiful Paris of the last decades of the 19th century!
Did you know that the Musée d'Orsay houses the world's largest collection of Impressionist works?

A unique experience that will help you explain any of the Impressionist paintings, even if you are seeing them for the first time!

Opera Garnier. From Napoleon III to the Phantom of the Opera
Voilà! That's Paris' most expensive building in front of you, filled with secrets, stories, geniuses and masterpieces.
The magnificent Opera House of Paris dates back to the Second Empire, the reign of Napoleon III, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. A dream that the emperor was not destined to see fulfilled. A masterpiece by the young architect Charles Garnier, who was not invited to the opening.
The Opéra Garnier is the pride of Paris and a luxury on the verge of ruin. Once you've seen the theatre and heard the stories about it, its workers and visitors, you'll see Paris very differently. And, of course, you'll understand why Balzac decided to use this 'palace' as the setting for his famous novel.
The ceiling by Marc Chagall is the cherry on the imperial cake!
