Hi there! Nice to meet you

I am an artist originally from Ireland and arrived in Paris almost seven years ago. I planned to make it a one year stay, but I'm still here, so we can say that Paris is a super magnetic place!

Absolutely magical! We had the pleasure of spending an unforgettable afternoon in Montmartre with Olivia as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, it was clear Olivia is a true local—her knowledge of Montmartre’s rich history, hidden corners, and vibrant art scene was incredible. She brought the neighborhood to life with stories that captivated all three generations of our family. Traveling as a group of five with very different tastes and interests—from grandparents to kids—can be a challenge, but Olivia handled it effortlessly. She tailored the tour perfectly, blending delicious food stops, fascinating historical tidbits, and breathtaking art and architecture. Each of us felt seen, heard, and delighted. Olivia is warm, engaging, and exceptionally thoughtful—we were completely charmed. This was, hands down, one of the highlights of our Paris trip. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her tour to anyone looking for an authentic, enriching, and thoroughly enjoyable experience in Montmartre. Bravo, Olivia!Montmartre Magic with Olivia

Olivia provided us with wonderful tastes of iconic French foods catered to our tastes. As we walked through Montmartre she shared tidbits of history and architecture of the area. We had a delightful three hours with Olivia and highly recommend her. Food, Facts, Fun with an excellent guide

We loved spending time with Liv while she showed off her own neighborhood of Montmartre. Liv is very knowledgable and we learned so much from her. She is warm and friendly and we spent quite a bit of time just relaxing and chatting. I felt like I was with a friend. We would highly recommend her for any tour she may be offering, you will be very happy with her!! Thanks again Liv!!Liv is wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour of Montmarte with Olivia. There were 3 of us (two 21 year olds and a 50 year old). Olivia took us on a great tour, hitting key sites, sharing the history of Montmarte and Paris, letting us go at our desired pace (stopping to go inside churches when we wanted and to do a Photo Booth on the street), with a few delicious snacks along the way and terrific recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The tour was a highlight of our weekend. Olivia was knowledgeable and flexible so it was tailored to our interests. I highly recommend Olivia and this experience.Terrific Montmartre guide

My father and I spent a wonderful three hours meandering through Montmartre, as Olivia talked us through the history and food of the area. Highly recommend to really dive into Paris and the culture and the cuisine. A brilliant afternoon in Montmartre

We had the best afternoon in Montmarte with Olivia. We had a fantastic tour, learned so much, and every food choice was delicious and fresh. The three hours flew by! We felt that we spent the afternoon with a dear friend, not just a tour guide. Olivia is amazing!!!!

We were so impressed with Olivia's tour - her knowledge of history as well as recommendations for restaurants and dancing! The tour was paced just right with a mix of buildings, gardens and neighborhood offerings. We could not have been more pleased.Wonderful 3 hours!

Olivia was great. Friendly knowledgeable and good to talk to. This was much more than a food tour. There was history art and local secrets. Even though we ended up at the top of the hill it wasn’t strenuous. The pace was just right and the food was good too Wonderful Montmartre

Four of us - all in our 70’s and one with a bad knee - thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon walk through Montmartre with Olivia. Ostensibly a food tour, it was so much more than that. While we walked, and between and during our tastings, Olivia introduced us to the history and art and culture of the neighborhood. Since she lives there herself, she also had personal information and anecdotes to share that brought life in Montmartre today alive for us; and we were grateful for the suggestions she offered for further explorations of the area. Because Olivia slowed down the pace of her tour for us, and because we told her we were as interested in history as in food, we didn’t stop - by our request, not hers - at all of the ordinary food tastings she offers on this tour. However, what we did taste was all wonderful and plentiful (bread, pastries, cheeses, oysters, wine, and the best quiche we’ve ever had); we were so full that we carried home with us what we just couldn’t eat. Olivia is so easy to spend time with - within moments of meeting her, it feels like she’s someone you’ve known for years. She is articulate, knowledgeable, professional, patient, accomodating, and so engaging that the time with her seems to fly by. We could have spent another couple of hours with her. If you are considering a tour with Olivia, don’t hesitate - just book it!Lovely afternoon with Olivia
