Why Hire Your Bespoke Paris ?

Save yourself hours of planning.

Why should you spend countless hours searching the internet researching neighborhoods, restaurants, menus, attractions, opening hours, prices, directions, etc. to schedule your trip? Save your time and energy by turning over the stressful parts of travel to your own personal Paris concierge.

You get my honest recommendations. Unlike most travel agents or travel websites, I do not get paid any commissions from any of the places I recommend to you. You can trust that all my recommendations are based entirely on my own experiences and opinions.

I am an individual who does this on my own; I am not part of a huge company. This means I offer fewer services than some of the big businesses, but it also means my services are more personalized and less expensive.

I can plan for any configuration of people, whether it is large families (including those traveling with children or elderly people), couples (straight or LGBTQ), a group of friends (whether staying together or staying separately), or adventurers traveling alone.

As a biracial queer man raised by immigrants in diverse New York City, I am comfortable working with you regardless of your background, race, or identity. And I will prioritize your comfort and safety when you travel.

If you can splurge, I can help you plan for all the luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and glamorous designer stores that your heart desires.
Or if you are on a budget, I can help you get the most out of your dollars and still have an incredible trip you will remember for the rest of your life.

I can help you prioritize your activities if you only have three days in Paris. Or I can help you really get to the know the city well if you are going for two weeks. And I can even help you figure out how to live there short-term if you are going for over a month.

Some travel sites require that you download special apps. I only use free web-based products that you are already familiar with. Most of our communication and planning will be done simply by email.

For many years, I have gone to Paris regularly, and I have spent over two years there.  (You can see my background and my Paris philosophy here.) I know the city intimately, and have dozens and dozens of favorite activities, restaurants, bakeries, museums, big stores, small shops, walking tours, cooking classes, music venues, plazas, language courses, and parks to recommend.

Because I was born and raised in the USA, I understand the lifestyle that Americans are accustomed to. And as someone raised by two immigrants (each from a different country), I am intimately aware of what it means to navigate multiple cultures at the same time. I can help make the transition to a different country painless for you, even if you don’t speak any French.
