A local guide for exploring city treasures from Tower to Bridge

Personalized tours give me the opportunity to match each experience according to the uniqueness of my guests. My background as a tour guide in Napa and San Francisco has evolved to Paris allowing me more opportunity to share these cities with you.

My personal curiosity has enabled me to gather both knowledge and experience to better serve as your personal concierge. From lodging and museums to restaurants and gardens; I will work directly with you to be sure that each choice creates the perfect itinerary.

While a car or bus tour will cover more places quickly, it is not until you slow down that you really discover the heart of a city. The Metro and Bart system are incredibly efficient while providing an opportunity to witness the real culture of these cities. The variety of street art and entertainers that sprinkle the trains and side streets add to the magical memories.​​

Together we can plan out any additional days you wish to explore on your own. While the navigation of these cities can be a little intimidating and complicated, you’ll have nothing to fear after a day of practice with me at your side.

These cities are legendary for food and we will certainly have opportunities to share some treats throughout the tour. DO NOT WORRY!!! I promise you’re going to walk it off. Be sure that the shoes you choose are good for distance, because we will scale stairs and hills with incredible wine and food as motivation.

The secrets of these cities really come down to the fact that they speak to our hearts. There is a place for each one of us in each place. They speak to our souls and fill us with joy.

Shouldn’t each vacation leave you with that feeling of having a part of yourself there forever? Let me show you your special spot.

Who Are We?

ALLISON

As a child, I grew up benefiting from both my Southern and Northern California experiences. We would walk for hours from one side of San Francisco to the other. I come from a family of foodie’s and adventurers, and didn’t realize these outings would serve as training for my destiny as your guide.

I moved from San Francisco to Paris; her sister, five years ago to further my explorations. Geographically speaking, both cities are roughly the same size. This is just one curious commonality though they are both unique and should be experienced in one’s life.

The secrets of these cities really come down to the fact that they speak to our hearts. They fill our souls and stay in our hearts forever. For me; one of the greatest joys is to see your delight in discovering the treasures I have found.
