I'm an English Actor and have been living and working in Paris for over 8 years now. I am passionate about—and fascinated by the city's history and its great stories of love, revolution, crime Who are the characters that have truly shaped Paris in to what it is today. Using a selection of these great characters I have created a unique tour through the secret covered passages and arcades of Paris. My friends and family use me as a human search engine for all things Parisian. I will be able to give you an outsiders perspective and my own experiences living here.

Amazing and unique Paris tour! There are sooo many things to see and do in Paris. I'd visited the city a few times and learned a ton on this tour. This is a way to connect to Paris past and present while seeing many different parts of town. I really enjoyed it.

This was a magical experience to have in Paris. I love the galleries and have walked through them before myself specifically trying to find them BUT Daniel's tour was much better. He is incredibly personable, sharing such interesting fun facts, history, engaging with stores and people. He intertwines his knowledge of the recent history of the galleries with more ancient past and ties it all together perfectly. He is an excellent story teller. It is a beautiful experience especially for winter time to duck into the galleries and walk streets you will never be able to find on your own with unique information on the city. For any architecture, art history, or history-lover. He gives great tips on places, and was so helpful for our post-tour time too!

The Parisian arcades and secret shoppes were fantastic. Couldn’t have done this without the help of our guide Daniel. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and kind. Any trip to Paris would be better with a tour from Daniel.
He especially helped us plan our other activities for the week. So great!
