No middleman. Just us — and you.
Most tours you find online are sold by a platform, run by a subcontractor, and led by whoever happens to be free that morning. We work differently.
La Compagnie des Guides sells only the tours it designs and leads itself. There is no booking platform between you and your guide, no commission to fund, no stranger assigned at the last minute. When you book with us, you deal directly with the people who will show you Paris — from your first question to the last goodbye.
The right guide for you — not just the next one available
A honeymoon couple, three generations of one family, a corporate team, a student travelling solo, a woman exploring Paris on her own, an art history buff who has read everything, a choir on tour, a musician chasing Chopin’s Paris… Nobody should get the same tour.
For every booking, we hand-pick the guide whose personality, expertise and energy match your group. Kids who get restless? We send the storyteller. A retired professor with sharp questions? We send the scholar. You get a guide who fits — and it shows from the very first minute.
Licensed to guide in every museum in France
In France, “guide-conférencier” is a protected title, earned through a demanding university degree. Only licensed guides are allowed to lead visitors inside the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles and the other major national museums and monuments.
Every one of our guides holds this license. Most have degrees in history or art history, and many have spent years researching the places they show you. You are not getting a script — you are getting a specialist who loves their subject.
