Unexpected stories
My tours are not about highlights, or secrets, or a “different” way to see Paris. That doesn’t even make any sense to me. I'm saying, let's go on a walk, you'll never believe how cool this city is.
I tell the stories behind three groups of people: the Royals, the Revolutionaries, and of course, the Rebels. The rebels are the remarkable people making history behind the scenes, the lesser-known lives that changed the world, the stories that bring Parisian culture to life. These are the histories of media, technology, and power, the central axis behind every movement, and the motivation for nearly every iconic monument in the city.

For curious travellers
Rebel Paris Tours is for curious travellers. My most responsive guests are 35–70 years old with a little money to spend. They are couples, families, and groups of friends or coworkers. They like a relaxed vibe and an energetic, genuine delivery. It doesn't seem to matter if my groups are in Paris for the first time, or even live here—they all experience something new and surprising. I'm pretty good at getting into the weeds with curious eight-year-olds, too. My tours are definitely family-friendly.

Loved the tour! Be prepared to learn a lot and laugh a lot — Jen is energetic and clearly passionate about Paris’s history, and she mixes in sharp humor and fun facts along the way. You’re in for a great time!

What a perfect fit for us she was!! Jen was such an engaging story teller. We learned so much about French history from her in a fun and interesting way. We were three generations; grandparents, parents and teens. We all had a really fun time riding around Paris together and learning.

We had an amazing tour with Jen. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and witty. My 13-year-old son said it was his favorite tour in Paris. We highly recommend Jen and this tour!!

Let’s make some people happy!
I am on LinkedIn but, as an anti-scroll ally ⚔️ (the swords are an Easter egg, btw) Rebel Paris Tours does not participate in any other social media platforms. I'm looking for long-term partnerships with reputable agents and journalists who understand the value of a quality network. My partnerships are how I generate leads and get butts in seats, as they say. I have been very lucky to be welcomed into this industry through a dependable, supportive community of people. Retaining and growing this community is at the heart of Rebel Paris Tours.
I would love to grab a coffee, or a virtual coffee, and chat about how we might be able to collaborate! Tour offerings are listed below.

Along the way, we park the bikes for brief walking tours of the Formal Gardens, the Colonnade, the Mirror Fountain, and Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet.

The day (not including time in the Palace) is 6 hours long. It is designed to showcase the splendor, absurdity, innovation, and power of Louis XIV and the earthwork that is the property of Versailles. It is a truly magical, highly praised day trip.
