I'm a Dutchman with French Culture, local in Paris since 2002, raised in France in a very international context. In short, it seems like I was made to be a tour guide!
I'm an active, passionate and dedicated tour guide since the summer of 2013. I have given thousands of Eiffel Tower tours, almost as many Versailles tours and Paris walking tours. I can happily say that I still enjoy meeting, entertaining and informing anyone who comes to visit my gorgeous City of Light. As a matter of fact, I've never lost my passion and have therefore decided to be an independent tour guide so as to dedicate myself even more to making your visit of Paris an unforgettable one!
I can give tours in English, French and Dutch.
We were at the spot 10 min prior to 10am, our start time. The guru never showed up. I texted him, he responded 30 min later, stating that he is unable to make it. Would that be nice to give me heads up??? I understand that things happen, but just leave us hanging there is so unprofessional.
No approval and no response from a guide. That’s very disappointing 🥲
We stonden op het afgesproken uur, maar niemand te zien
The tour with Maarten was great! You can tell that he's an experienced Guide. He can give tons of advice on what to do. We also enjoyed his manner of telling Stories. He is super fun!
It was a pleasure meeting Maarten. He is well informed and an open personality. We had fun on our tour and learned a lot.
