Culture & HistoryLyonHello there ! I am Noémie, 28 years old and a feminist tour guide in Lyon. I live here since 10 years. I like discovering new places, taking time off in cafés and walking outdoor. What I love in Lyon is the cultural life, good restaurants and local products, the ease to go outside the city in public transport.
Their expertise · If you want to spend your money in meaningfull and local shops/ cafés/ restaurants, I can definitely recomend you that ! I know about local specialties and where to buy outside the touristic and expensive areas. I can provide practical informations such as public transport, areas to avoid, where to change your money, grocerie stores, places to enjoy your trip in case of rain, and excursion outside the city. I can share with you informations about events in Lyon during your trip. And I can of course propose you guided tours about history, patrimony and women in Lyon.
Art & MuseumsLondon · ParisHi there! My name is Bénédicte, and I am a French guide in London. A true Anglophile, I studied English at the Sorbonne in Paris and then, Art History here in London. From British underground culture to London's industrial heritage, without leaving aside the painting masterpieces at the National Gallery and other museums, from major landmarks to more secret, hidden gems, my tours invite travellers to explore London and discover it as they have never seen it. Whether you would like to book a tour with me or simply review your programme, I will be able to help create a stay tailored to your interests, your travel style and your budget. As an art historian, I can assist in selecting which places to visit, what not to miss and is really worth seeing. As the mum of young ones, I also know that visiting a city with children can be challenging. I will be able to help you navigate London and arrange for stops at all the good family-friendly spots and attractions - and I can guarantee that these were personally tested and approved by my own children! If you feel like going further and booking a tour with me, my kids-friendly tours are specifically designed for younger visitors, with games, booklets, etc. Either way, I will be able to provide you with insights to make your stay enjoyable for the whole family. *Extra, extra!* Before I moved back to the UK four and a half years ago and created my guiding company, Arty Stories, I lived and worked in Paris (and Denmark, but that's another story!) on the art market, first at the auction house Christie's, and then at IDAIA's, an art gallery. I still go back to France regularly to visit my family, so if you are going to spend time in both London and Paris, I will be more than happy to support you in planning your trip, and give you my insider’s tips to make the most of your stay in the City of Light too - including croissant tasting!

Taking our dog for a walk through an unfamiliar neighbourhood, stopping for a beer or a bite to eat and continuing to explore is my perfect rest day. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and tips with you.
Their expertise · • I love recommending to guests and friends the right tours and have a lot of historical knowledge regarding London. From Roman times to the present day. Avoiding the obvious sights I love to recommend little known curiosities, cool neighbourhoods and those places that never make it onto the pages of the major guidebooks. • My most popular areas for recommendations are the historic city (Square Mile), Southwark and Borough Market, Covent Garden and Soho (West End), Belgravia and Westminster and my local neighbourhood Richmond. • I can recommend fantastic pubs of all types, where to find the best craft breweries, excellent restaurants, cafes, street food and importantly how you can best reach these places. • If you are interested in the arts, be it a gallery or a live music venue just ask me for recommendations. And if you would like to visit places that are out of the ordinary I can certainly help you there. If you want something of particular interest, something out of the ordinary, or need some suggestions just get in touch!

Art & MuseumsAlba · TurinHi there! My name is Arianna. I am translator and Italian teacher with a deep-rooted passion for the landscapes of Piedmont. I was born and raised in Alba, the heart of the Langhe, but I have also lived for several years in the vibrant city of Turin, where I obtained my MAs in Translation and Audiovisual Translation. This has given me a dual perspective on both our rural traditions and the urban pulse of the region. I have spent my entire life exploring the hills of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato. My bond with this land is both personal and specialized — I even trained as a sommelier purely out of passion to better understand our world-class viticulture. Whether it’s the historical streets of Asti or the hidden trails of the Roero, I know these areas not just as a resident, but as someone who truly lives and breathes the local culture.
Their expertise · From the medieval charm of Asti and Alba to the "Borghi più belli d’Italia" (the most beautiful villages in Italy) scattered throughout the Langhe and Roero, I help you skip the clichés and find the soul of the region. I’ll lead you away from the crowds to the secret courtyards of Turin and the most picturesque, untouched hamlets. I offer a curated blend of sophisticated culture and local lifestyle. My areas of expertise include: • Food & Wine: Deep knowledge of authentic vineries, historic cellars, and the "real" Piedmontese kitchen. • Art & Culture: Navigating Turin’s grand museums, the heritage of Asti and Alba, and the Romanesque churches hidden in the hills. • Fashion & Lifestyle: Finding the best local boutiques, trendy bars for aperitivo, and high-quality shops. • Nature & Outdoors: Scenic hiking trails and tranquil parks across the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato. I am most excited about helping curious travelers who want to dig beneath the surface. Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, I want to ensure you experience the Piedmont that I love. If you want to avoid the "obvious" and discover the authentic spirit of Alba, Asti, Turin & stunning hills of the Roero and Monferrato, I am here to help you.
