WE ARE THE BEST TOUR GUIDE & HOST IN THE CITY: a friend in Paris…
Join us on your first day in the city. We will open the city in perspective like never before. Paris by Martin will give you the best tips to take the best of the city during the rest of you stay.
If you cannot come the first day, come the second, or later. Our concept is much more than a tour a it is a life-time* concept.
100% independent family biz
We are a little company, just friends doing what we love in a city that we love, and willing to share that feeling with you all. Our new friends/clients as well as our usual, regular customers. That is our “thing” and we would love to keep it that way 100% so that we can offer you the most personalized human experience / service possible.
Very limited human resources by choice and we are all the time out there in order to help you out, building your own version of Paris up. Also, to give you something forever that you can use, keep and use for ever when coming back to Paris on your own, every single time.
Paris by Martin tours: always by the owners*
Remember that we do not hire guides (except in cases of extreme force majeure). It is pretty much always by the owners here. We do not want to be regular guys, doing tours like everyone else does in the city.
In this beautiful company you will find musicians, photographers, artists, consultants… And we do not want at all to become a “guide”. We are in a completely different league.
We have chosen not to grow, at least not that much. The choice is to keep this always in a human scale and a as pure independent family biz. With the best quality in the whole city. We do not for the money, we go for the GLORY! Leaving a hall of famer print in the history of the city. Hence, to become a part of it.
Unprecedented tours concept: life-time concept*
We have decided to keep our concept evolving. On and on. No tour or guide in the city are willing to take it as far as we do. At least, in terms of a quality and service details. That makes a big difference.
There are maybe more talented guides in the world. But no one work as hard than us in order to make people happy in Paris! That is for sure.
It is an experience for all ages. You will be always welcomed and we will be always available for you in case you need us during the rest of your stay in the city. Also, during your future visits. Advice will also be available for your friends coming to Paris. You will be part of a life-time* concept. A part of Martin´s world club/community of friends.

Welcome to Paris by Martin, your friend in Paris, your Key to Paris, the Paris you are looking for!
I am dreamer by nature. A storyteller and a history, food, music, design, photography, antiques, art, sport …lover. I love making new friends and sharing my findings about Paris and its hidden stories, after years of research and digging alongside historians and passionate friends. My goal is to make people happy and turn them into “Parisian beasts”. “My guys are the best out there”, at being great on getting the best of Paris also on their own after our tours concept. Giving something useful, memorable that lasts and that people can take with them forever, are the key values of this project. This is Paris by Martin and we are the Paris you are looking for!
PS: I am a big fan of NCAA sports. Mostly Basketball. I have lots of t-shirts. Bring your favorite NCAA team t-shirt “M” size and I will be proud to use it in Paris often and all year long.
