After my business studies at HEC interspersed with abroad experiences in the luxury and fashion sector, I worked for 4 years in a consulting firm before launching my dream concept: high-end tourism for families, following a request customers had, looking for activities to do in Paris with their children. By creating my own company, I could serve all my passions at once: cooking, culture and my adopted city of Paris, whose secrets I all know. London was also part of the adventure because it is one of my host cities. Having the attention for detail and quality, I offer tailor-made tours in various European destinations such as of Paris, Loire Valley, and London, Rome and Florence for families wishing to explore these places with their children in an original way and without having to worry about logistics. With my small team of passionate professionals, we developed themed itineraries in the best places, adding for each of them some high-quality activities suitable for children of all ages and interests. Visit the Louvre Museum during a treasure hunt followed by a painting course, relapse in the novel and film The Da Vinci Code with an orientation game, discover French tradition while making the iconic baguette, visit the artistic village of Montmartre while learning french, explore Rome and learn about its history through specially-designed stories, quizzes and games or discover the life of Galileo the famous astronomer and his inventions through a visit to his museum. These are few examples of our organized family tours which allow parents to spend quality time with their children.

My wife, 3 daughters (17, 14 and 11) and I met our guide Paola outside the gate to the Vatican. The instructions we received beforehand were very clear and it was easy to find her. Paola was friendly, welcoming and engaging. She shepherded us through swarms of people and we felt like VIPs almost completely skipping the lines, which were very long. Once we were in the grounds and museums, Paola was extremely knowledgable and clearly loved the subject matter. She had an activity booklet (think scavenger hunt) for my 11 year-old, which I also participated in--it was fun. My two older daughters were "too cool" to do it. The tour was around three hours long and we all got so much more out of the tour than we would have alone. It felt as though we had a personal friend in Rome who showed us a site she was very fond of. Now a word to parents: 3 hours is a long time for an 11-year old no matter how fun you make it: so expect a bit of burnout if your child is in that age range, although that was minimized by Paola's focus on our youngest to keep her engaged. Overall, we were all very pleased with the experience; my wife and I probably and happily got the most out of it. I highly recommend it.
