Every street has a story
Hello, I’m Ulyana. Join me for a walk through Paris and imagine the city in different eras. Behind street names and familiar landmarks, we will discover events, people and a city full of life.
My Paris
I am fascinated by how much history one place can hold. Where people meet at a café today, others once debated, celebrated, made plans and changed events. I enjoy exploring those details and helping visitors imagine the Paris of another time.
I hold a professional guide licence. I particularly enjoy making complicated subjects clear. I tell stories of the past with enthusiasm and leave space for conversation: your questions and observations often lead somewhere unexpected. There is room for city legends too, with a chance to distinguish facts from fiction.
I love travelling, reading and discovering French food. I am happy to talk about contemporary France, everyday habits, traditions and the surprises of a trip. Getting to know a country continues after the tour.
I guide city, family and children’s walks. I enjoy meeting visitors of different ages, finding the right words and encouraging curiosity. I especially love the moment children join the conversation and adults become just as involved.

A huge thank you to Ulyana for an incredibly interesting tour of Paris. Two hours flew by as we listened to countless stories about places along our route, covering different periods from before the Common Era to very recent history. I am in awe of her ability to remember so many interesting facts, keep events in order and not mix up all the kings called Louis :) Ulyana’s enthusiasm, sincere interest in history and love of the city are bound to make you fall in love with Paris too. Even if this is not your first visit — or is far from it — you will learn a million things about the city and its history. I sincerely recommend this tour.
