Hi, I’m Nessie or Vane
Hi, I’m Nessie or Vane
I’ve lived in Paris for 4 years
I speak English, French, Italian and some Spanish
I am Artist painter
When I'm not walking around Paris, I'm a painter in my atelier! 50% Italian and 50% Colombian, I studied at the art school and started the academy of fine arts, and then decided to go on an adventure and travel around the world by myself. I lived 4 years in Australia, spent a period in England and Paris. There's no chance I can go past the La Tour Eiffel without taking a million photos! I can't get tired of discovering new places, eating good french food, walking for kilometers everywhere in the city and visiting museums, art galleries and interesting shops anytime I can! My passion for art, my love for travel and my extroverted (but calm) behavior is what got me in the tourist guide world in the first place here in Paris. My goal is to help you discover the authentic charms of Paris and the french culture and doing it through the eyes and stories of a person who used to be a tourist in this city years ago. If this is your first tour or just one of many (because you are an experienced traveler), it wouldn't change much for me because my main goal is for you to experience Paris to the fullest! Pure fun, hassle-free, and full of great memories!

My daughter and I had a great morning with Vanessa today. She custom tailored the walking tour to our needs. She was very personable, attentive and even sing happy birthday in Italian to my daughter. We really had a great time in Milan. Thank you Vanessa and her really hope see her again soon.

I can highly recommend City Unscripted, especially Vanessa. She helped me arranging my engagement. We had a Zoom call some days prior to my arrival. Vanessa was very passioned in supporting my plans and made use of her local network. A day, I will never forget.

I was fortunate to be able to schedule two experiences with Vanessa while I was in Paris. She was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed my time with her and in Paris. On my first night in the city, I booked “A Night in Paris with a Local”. She provided an excellent walking tour of Le Marais. Vanessa’s recommendations for spots to stop for a drink and dinner were perfect. Over delicious food and wine, we discussed art, travel, current events, and, of course, French food. I enjoyed this experience so much, I booked the “Le Marais Food Experience” for my last day in Paris, which was four days later. Vanessa knows the spots for food that would be nearly impossible to find without a local. I loved the places she selected for tastings. It was a personalized tour and we weren’t committed to certain restaurants. This flexibility was great. Vanessa provided options and suggestions and I was able to try what I wanted. We also stopped in several boutiques. I learned more about Le Marais as we strolled through the neighborhood on a beautiful afternoon in Paris. In between tours, Vanessa was generous with her time and gave recommendations and advice for dining and activities. I recommend Vanessa without any reservations. She is enthusiastic, prepared, and is an excellent host for travelers in Paris.
