Sam’s Story

Originally from the U.S., Sam embarked on her Parisian adventure nearly 10 years ago, driven by a passion for filmmaking, storytelling, and the culinary arts. Immersed in the enchanting world of Paris, she put her language skills and endless curiosity to use by becoming a tour guide with the city’s industry leaders. Over the course of her guiding career, she has entertained thousands of guests from around the world by sharing the fascinating histories behind Paris' most iconic landmarks.

Driven by a desire to create more personalized and offbeat experiences that give guests a taste of the ‘real Paris’, in 2023 Sam founded Sam Paris Tours. (The easiest name for any jetlagged visitor to remember after a long day!) Through Sam Paris Tours, Sam offers opportunities for travellers to delve into lesser-known histories, to discover local gems, and to engage with the vibrant Parisian community.

Sam Paris Tours not only brings guests in contact with the city's rich history but also offers a taste of local life by connecting with Parisian small businesses whenever possible. By offering more and more unique small-group experiences, Sam hopes to forge a community of like-minded travellers that will grow year after year.
