A Paris worth sharing

Hello, I’m Oksana, a guide and creator of walking routes. Since 2014, I have been introducing travellers to Paris through its stories and the pleasure of discovery. With the Paris-Peshkom team, we create walks that make the city engaging and help you feel welcome.

My Paris

My interest in Paris begins with curiosity. What lies behind a familiar façade? How did people live on this street? Why did an artist paint a scene in that way? I love finding answers and shaping them into stories to share.

I studied at the École du Louvre and trained as a guide, gaining a professional licence. I have guided tours since 2014. Creating routes is a particular pleasure: choosing places, finding unexpected connections, planning stops and building a story. I want each walk to reveal human lives behind monuments and museum displays.

I am energetic and enjoy meeting people and travelling around the world. New places and encounters inspire me, and travel experiences often begin interesting conversations with visitors. I value the feeling of arriving in an unfamiliar city and meeting someone you can talk to easily.

At Paris-Peshkom, we share a love of our work and care for our guests. We exchange discoveries and ideas and develop routes together. Each guide brings their own character, knowledge and favourite stories to the Paris we share.

Louvre

An amazing tour with an incredible guide, Oksana. She is passionately in love with what she does, and it is infectious. I have never been a fan of painting, but after this tour I think I will become one. Thank you so much!

I am very grateful to the tour organiser. Although the main group cancelled for personal reasons, I was offered a private tour at a good, discounted price. I really appreciate that — thank you. My guide Oksana, with whom I spent two unforgettable hours in the Louvre, is a truly first-class professional. The tour was magnificent: fascinating explanations, captivating stories about the exhibits, profound knowledge and wonderful delivery. I simply cannot find the words to describe how much I admire her. Oksana is a master of her craft and also an incredibly lovely person. Wishing you every happiness and success!!!!

Paris in two hours: a first-time visitor’s walking tour

The tour with Oksana became a real highlight of my trip! From the very first minutes, you can tell she is more than a professional: she sincerely loves Paris and her work. The route was thought through in every detail. From the Saint-Michel fountain to the Louvre, we walked through key chapters of the city’s history. Our guide skilfully combined historical facts with vivid stories, making everything engaging and accessible. Her accounts of Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle were particularly impressive, bringing these architectural masterpieces to life before our eyes. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants not just to see Paris, but to feel its soul.

Your first walk through Paris: a private city introduction

I took this tour recently, and it was fantastic!!! But let me start at the beginning. To be honest, I read the reviews before booking, then paid the deposit and waited for the tour without any particular expectations. This is something I usually do when travelling somewhere new: I wanted to walk around the city and hear its history, legends and modern-day tips from someone who lives there! From the very first minutes, our guide Oksana immersed us in the atmosphere of this enchanting city. We walked through narrow streets, discovered the stories hidden around every corner and enjoyed her account of Notre-Dame de Paris. Oksana shared interesting facts about the kings who lived on Île de la Cité and showed us the sites of the medieval fortress and market. And of course, the Louvre was incredible — its sheer scale is astonishing! The tour was full and informative. Time flew by, leaving us with so many positive emotions. I recommend it to everyone who wants to discover Paris through the centuries.
