Paris Private Tour Guide
My City- Paris offers a very wide range of choices from the discovery of the city by bus with commentaries given by myself, to a walking tour through famous districts such as the Latin quarter or Montmartre. I can also do guided visits inside the two most important museums in Paris, the Louvre & Orsay. The Paris region is rich as well with castles: Versailles, Fontainebleau, Chantilly, and cathedrals: St Denis and Chartres (transport by car with guided visits). Finally, I organize day trips to Normandy, the Champagne Region, and the Loire Valley including guided visits inside the castles. About Me- Tourist guides in France must be qualified for guiding inside museums and monuments. That is why I decided, after 10 years as a Driver-guide, to go back to school and pass the examination in order to be able to guide inside with my customers. This diploma (National, set by the Ministry of Higher Education) allows me to guide tourists anywhere on French territory. Special Interest Tours- As a National guide and former Tour Leader (in South-East Asia) I am interested in all kind of Arts. I like History (specially French and the History of Civilizations). I do like architecture, and I must confess I am very keen of Italian art (fortunately we have plenty here in France, thanks to the French Renaissance and the Louvre museum). I like as well the cities of London and Rome. My PricesWalking Tours - Museums* in Paris (Prices per private group) *There is an extra charge of 30 Euros for groups of 7 or more if entering a museum.

Extremely prompt and professional, he is so knowledgeable of history, of Paris and its environs that he makes everything come alive! His English is perfect, plus he is an excellent driver---and knows all the special places, plus little side trips to take. An added bonus is his most comfortable mini-van. We highly recommend him in France for la vie en rose…." Marcus and Pat Adams, Norman, OK April, 2008 "We want to highly recommend Christophe’s services. We planned 4 days with him in March that included Versailles, Normandy, the Castles of Loire, as well as the museums and sights of Paris. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and arts of France. We are a family of 5 (including 3 teenagers) and he was able to mold our visit to each of our individual needs. It was such a relief to leave the driving and planning to someone else and we all could relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about timetables or schedules. He was always punctual and extremely easy to work with. He has a very easy going style and makes you feel part of his country (and not just a tourist) almost immediately. We were highly impressed with his professionalism and knowledge." Tommy and Robyn C., March 2007, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA "We spent 3 days with Christophe and had a fabulous time in Paris. We were there the week before Christmas, 2005. He is a superb guide and it is really helpful that he has his own van. He is very knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. We have already mentioned his name to several friends that are considering traveling to Paris." Roger and Joanne L., Carmel, IN USA "We want to recommend Christophe Burtaire's services 100%. We saw and learned more about Paris & France in 6 days than I'm sure many others do not see or learn in a month. He knew the what, where, when & the whys of France & Paris and from the museums to the historical buildings and sights he knew the history of all back to when recorded time was first written. He was always right on time, knew the city like the back of his hand, and put in many extra hours picking us up from even our evening activities. In our opinion, we could have not found a more qualifies gentleman & really very enjoyable to be with." John T. Jett, Flowery Branch, GA "The day spent with Christophe was a highlight of our trip. He was able to take us to Giverny and Versailles in the same day. Plus he included some interesting sights in between. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Paris."
