Paris: Private Walking Tour & Personal Photographer Photoshoot

Summary

Wander Paris streets as your own photographer captures every moment

You’ll wander Paris with a local photographer who knows all the little angles and hidden corners. Expect candid shots—sometimes when you least expect it—and real moments captured as you stroll from Place Colette through lively streets. The tour includes 130-150 edited photos sent by email after your walk, so you can relive those small details long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous about having someone follow me around Paris with a camera. But the second we met our photographer at Place Colette—she had this easy smile and a scarf tied just so—I felt oddly at ease. She asked if there were spots I wanted or if I’d rather she lead the way, and honestly, letting her guide us through those winding streets was the best choice. The air smelled faintly of roasting chestnuts (or maybe that’s just how I remember it), and every time she clicked the shutter, people glanced over but didn’t stare. It was more like we’d slipped into some Parisian movie for an afternoon.

There was this moment near a bakery—our guide paused and told me to stand by the window, light catching on the glass just right. I tried to look casual but probably looked like I was waiting for a bus. She laughed and said, “Just breathe.” Somehow that helped. We wandered past street musicians, over cobblestones that made my shoes click in that echoey way you only get in old cities. At one point she showed us a shortcut through an alley painted with fading murals; I never would’ve found it alone. She chatted in French to a shopkeeper who waved at us—felt like we belonged for a second.

The whole thing lasted about two hours but it went quick—time sort of folds in on itself when you’re not checking your phone every five minutes. By the end my cheeks hurt from grinning (and okay, maybe from trying to look “natural” for 130 photos). When we got the pictures later by email, there were shots I didn’t even remember her taking—me laughing at something dumb my partner said, or just staring up at balconies dripping with flowers. Some are blurry in that good way where you can almost hear the city behind you.
