Who is Paris with Andy?
Paris with Andy was born from my love of all things French, particularly Paris. Let me share a secret, the first time I visited Paris I didn’t enjoy the experience. I missed the best sights, got lost and didn’t make the most of my time. But I believe all things deserve a second chance, and that’s what I gave Paris. My second visit was about making up for the first experience, and discovering what Paris is really all about.
From French expert to Paris tour guide
I started my own business as French translator and interpreter. I was often across in Paris for work and pleasure. It was my haven to get away from things for a month every summer. Then, back in 2016, I decided it was time to make the move permanent. During my time living in the Marais in central Paris, I walked ten kilometres or more each day discovering the city of Paris and everything it had to offer. This allowed me to really know every street of Paris. And I’m still learning!
Sharing my secret Paris experience with bespoke guided tours
I am a firm believer that sharing is one of the nicest forms of showing you care. My passion for Paris is something I have never lost and it grows with each passing year. Sharing my experience of living and working in Paris with others through my private tours is the best way of showing you the city and helping you adopt my same passion.
A tour guide in Paris with a twist
Rather than simply offering private tours of various Paris districts by reciting facts from a website or book, I believe in offering you a very different Paris experience. My Paris tour guides are about really discovering each district. From the Marais which I call home, to the bright lights of the Champs Elysées, I believe in showing you the hidden secrets of Paris, the best addresses only the locals really know. I believe in venturing off the beaten track and giving you a real visit of Paris.

Quite simply the best Paris tour guide
Most tour guides in Paris will simply follow a planned itinerary, read a list of historical facts and leave you at the agreed meeting point. Paris with Andy is different. I take pride in sharing my Paris, my passion, the places I have learned to love my own way. I don’t read facts gleaned from a book about Paris. Instead, I take you in my footsteps, share my own experience and introduce you to the city like it is an old friend.
You will leave my guided tour feeling like you have lived here for a decade and excited about heading back in your own footsteps to enjoy the places I introduce along the way. Thanks to being fluent in both French and English, you’ll see life from both sides, whatever language you speak.
Each private tour of Paris will end over a glass of wine, champagne or coffee - whatever you prefer - where you will have a chance to speak with me and ask any questions, get advice and tips for your continued adventure or simply a good restaurant recommendation.
