Budik Christina

Hey! My name is Cristina and I am the leader of the Paris Guides team!

I am an architect by training, a graduate of MARCHI, and for more than 10 years, together with my team of guides, I have been touring this amazing city. Paris is my passion, and thanks to a dissertation from the best architectural school in France, ENSA-Belleville, I know how to create routes that will leave the most vivid impressions.

I lead a team of Russian-speaking guides in Paris, and we have rare specialists – winners of the Napoleonic Prizes, connoisseurs of modern art, art historians and other talents. We have guided tours for famous personalities, including members of the royal family, but the most important thing for me is to make every walk unique and unforgettable for you.

I love combining historical facts with fun stories and practical tips for living in Paris. Together with my team, we create excursions that perfectly balance the atmosphere of the city, its rich history and modern nuances.

See you in Paris! À bientôt!
