Paris by Emy – All Private Guided Tours in Paris
I offer customized private tours in Paris and unique programs tailored for solo travelers, couples, families, students, small groups, Christian pilgrims, and business travelers.
I’ve lived in Paris for more than 20 years, but my connection to this city runs even deeper. My mother was born here, and my grandmother was a painter who graduated from the prestigious Beaux-Arts de Paris before moving to California to marry an American. Growing up with this Franco-American heritage and spending 5 years in the US myself, I understand both cultures intimately, allowing me to bridge French and American perspectives naturally. This unique background combining Parisian roots, Art History credentials, and cross-cultural fluency means I reveal must-see landmarks, world-class art museums, and hidden gems that only insiders know, all while understanding exactly what American travelers seek in an authentic Paris experience.
