Hi, I’m Isabel, and I can’t wait to share my love for Paris with you! For me, Paris is so much more than its iconic landmarks—it’s about the little hidden gems that make this city truly magical. I’m passionate about uncovering the real Paris, the one that leaves lasting memories. I love wandering through the charming streets of Saint Germain, the vibrant Barrio Latino, the artistic Montmartre, and the elegant 16th arrondissement. As we explore, I’ll capture stunning photos of your journey, so you’ll have incredible keepsakes to remember your trip forever. Whether it’s discovering the best macarons, finding a quiet bookshop, or sipping coffee at a café with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower, I’ll help you see the Paris that locals adore. I’ll make sure we skip the crowded tourist spots and dive into authentic experiences that showcase the heart and soul of this beautiful city. Let’s create unforgettable moments together—Paris is waiting for you!

My reviews

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my amazing tour with Isabel yesterday. We talked several times in advance of the trip to incorporate my ideas and priorities and her recommendations to put together the perfect itinerary. We hit a few highlights of the city and some things I really wanted to see, like Notre Dame, while also spending a lot of time off the tourist path to find the hidden gems within the city. We strolled through most of the districts, exploring libraries and books, shops, and churches and bakeries and markets. We nibbled on crêpes and pretzels and sampled nougets and sugared fruits, and hot cocoa and did a little shopping. She showed me hidden courtyards and beautiful, quaint, alleyways with mosaic tiles and every imaginable architectural style within the city. We strolled and chatted like friends and just shared the most wonderful day together. It was perfection.

I so highly recommend Isabel, it was a wonderful tour, curated just for me. I wanted glimpses of the Parisienne highlights (Arc, Louvre, Notre Dame) but I wanted the hidden treasures, to see the beauty off the tourist path. She delivered, we visited nearly all the districts, sampled treats in markets (nougats!), sipped cocoa, saw churches, art, boutiques, did a little shopping, and talked like friends. It could not have been more wonderful!
