Together Joséphine & Ferit decided to found their own Parisian travel agency after working as Private tour Guides for others for 7 years.
Your transformative Paris experience requires two essential ingredients: exceptional guides and intelligent planning.
While our National Licensed Guides bring scholarly expertise and storytelling passion to every tour, Josephine orchestrates the bigger picture. As licensed guide, experienced traveler, and mother, she crafts itineraries that acknowledge a crucial truth: even the most fascinating museum becomes torture when families are exhausted.
Her planning balances cultural immersion with realistic pacing, ensures age-appropriate engagement across generations,and prevents the overscheduling that creates travel fatigue instead of memories.
