Marianna
Honfleur, Nice +12
Hi - I'm Marianna! I love nature and animals. I'm athletic, but I don't have a favourite sport because I like to change things up and try new activities. The important thing is to be active. I love discovering secret and unknown places, and I'd like to be a citizen of the world to share experiences with friends old and new! As a nature enthusiast, I studied forestry and environmental sciences, and this is what attracts me most about the world: seeking out pristine, wild places and, of course, animals! I love exploring foreign cultures and experiencing them like a local, sharing unique and unforgettable moments! Travel is part of my life; every place I visit is a discovery within me. My favourite destinations: • Asia (Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam) • Africa (South Africa, Zimbawe, Botswana, Morocco, Egypt, Horseback trekking) • USA (Metropolises, itinerant & coast-to-coast trips, Park Tours and Monument Valley) • Europe (Italy, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Greece) I can help you find exclusive places and unforgettable experiences!
Anna
London, Paris +4
Hi, I'm Anna! I'm mostly based in London, and travel is genuinely woven through both my career and my life - I work as a Food Guide and EF Tour Director, leading multi-day tours across Europe. This year my tours ran 10–17 days through London, Paris, Provence, Rome, Madrid and Barcelona, on top of guiding regular small-group food tours around Borough Market and Soho for Secret Food Tours. I also lived in Paris and Madrid, so I know several of these cities as more than a passing visitor. I have travelled extensively in groups and solo for more than 20 years. What most tourists miss is that the best version of a trip usually comes from slowing the pace and using a place the way locals do; public transport over taxis, market stalls over tourist-strip restaurants, one or two neighbourhoods done properly rather than a checklist of sights. That's the difference I try to give the travellers I meet. I most love helping travellers who want a genuinely local, well-paced trip rather than a highlights reel. Solo travellers, families and multi-generational groups, first-time visitors, and anyone nervous about logistics like public transport, language, or getting from A to B smoothly. I am also a huge foodie so love to recommend areas / restaurants / eateries to others!
Anna
Paris, Deauville +13
I’m a true “slasher”, driven by curiosity and a wide range of experiences that blend international cooperation, human resources, management, education, technology and tourism. Travel has been part of my identity for as long as I can remember. After growing up in a family of travelers, I started exploring the world on my own at the age of 14. Since then, I have embraced many different ways of traveling : volunteering, woofing, road trips, city breaks, shaolin immersion program, cruising, bike tours, wine expeditions, professional workshops, hiking, bivouacking and even canoe and boat trips, and much more are coming. For me, travel is not only about discovering new places; it is an opportunity to reinvent yourself, gain new perspectives, and grow through meaningful encounters. For the past two years, I have been working as a travel coordinator, designing, leading and facilitating groups around the world with one mission : creating exceptional human connections through adventure. My life is an adventure, come join me !
Mathilde
Nice, Cannes +1
Hi! I am Mathilde, I am a certified tour guide and lecturer on the French Riviera. I have been living in Nice since 2015. I am passionate about history and architecture, art, museums, books and travel. I am also a food lover so I have tried many restaurants in the area ! Even after all these years on the Côte d’Azur, I am still amazed by its bright cities, hilltop villages, colorful markets, and breathtaking panoramas. This region, nestled between the sea and the mountains, is an endless source of history, culture, and emotion that I love sharing. Most of all, I like meeting people from all around the world and learning from their culture too. As a local, I will make sure that you choose the best options for your trip !
