Hi there! Nice to meet you

Anna

As Josephine Baker once said: “I have two loves: my country and Paris.” In many ways, this resonates with me. Having arrived in France as an adult, I was struck by two things: the hedonism present in every gesture and the overwhelming abundance of history.

I had the opportunity to spend all of the pre-Covid and Covid periods between the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower, and I was one of the few who witnessed the fire at Notre-Dame even before it appeared on every screen across the globe.

In fact, I originally came to Paris to specialize in international relations, studying banking and finance to work in one of the Big Four firms. But as soon as I experienced the Parisian charm and magic that I had only read about in the works of Guy de Maupassant or seen in French films, I knew I had to change my life. For those who are curious, I did eventually earn my degree in economics and moved to Paris.

Thanks to my environment and a curious mind, I learned quickly and extensively, eventually gaining a new profession (and yes, in France, you need a formal qualification for every job). Most importantly, I felt that I had finally found the career of my life.

After 10 years of living in Paris and 6 years of experience as a tour guide, I love showing people around my city. The flexible format offered by WithLocals is ideal for tailoring each tour to the individual needs of my guests.

My favorite tours are of the Musée d'Orsay and Montmartre because I have personal and emotional ties to these periods and neighborhoods, and I believe you can find beauty in simplicity.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FAMILY TOURS: I do offer family tours with children, but I expect both parents and children to be respectful. As a mother and a teacher, I understand that learning can be challenging, especially while on vacation. But you need to ask yourself why you want a tour for your child. If you book with me, your child will learn new things, but you must explain some basic concepts before the tour. Also, please note that we will be WALKING. If you or your child are not prepared to walk more than 1 km, please DO NOT book a tour with me.

To sum up, if you're eager to learn about French and Parisian history, and this isn’t your first time (or even if it is), I’ll be happy to show you around the city in a fast-paced, captivating way where every minute is worth its value!

Ana was delightful and made our first Louvre experience welcoming and easy. We were able to chat beforehand, had a clear meeting point, and she helped us navigate the busy lines. The tour was a perfect length to get oriented and Ana was knowledgeable about many pieces. She answered our questions and helped us point us in the right direction to continue our own exploration after our tour was complete. We easily could have spent more time with her. Thanks Ana!First time to the Louvre

Exploring Paris with Anna was an absolute highlight of our trip. From the moment we met her, she brought incredible energy, insight, and charm to every part of the experience. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, art, and culture was evident at every stop—from iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre to a great little café for breakfast. She truly made our time in Paris great; my son has not stopped talking about how Anna made our trip to Paris the best Anna had a wonderful way of blending historical facts with captivating stories, making each location come alive. She was also incredibly attentive to the group’s interests and pace, always ready to adjust plans or offer helpful tips. Beyond her professionalism, Anna was simply a joy to be around—warm, engaging, and passionate about Paris. If you’re looking for a guide who’s knowledgeable, personable, and truly loves what she does, Anna is the perfect choice. Paris-Best guide ever

Anna was great! My kids and I had limited art history knowledge and Anna adapted to provide a wonderful experience for our family. She took us to the main exhibits and knew how to navigate and extremely busy Louvre. Highly recommend using Anna! Awesome experience!
