Michelle Ziling
Parisian by adoption, Michelle is a qualified pastry chef who trained at the prestigious FERRANDI school, before surviving a Michelin kitchen.
Educated in the UK, she graduated with a Master's degree in Strategic Marketing and worked for a Fortune 500 FMCG company in Australia and Hong Kong, before relocating to Paris 10 years ago. Hopelessly in love with the city, Michelle quit her marketing job, took a deep dive into the French gastronomic world, and never looked back.
When Michelle is not leading tours, she writes, bakes, practices photography, and visits art galleries and museums. She’s currently taking art history classes and working towards her national guiding license in France. As a Parisian, she rather enjoyed Emily in Paris.
Last but not least, Michelle inspects pastry shops and examines the latest sweet creations every single day. She is a family-friendly expert with solid experience adapting tours for children of all ages.
Michelle is an amazing tour guide. She made us feel at ease and we felt comfortable asking questions. She shared her culinary expertise and knowledge of Paris with such enthusiasm. My family enjoyed the tour so much and all of the detailed information she provided. And best of all we had so much fun eating and learning! Michelle made our Paris trip 10x better with her warm welcome and informative tour!
We had a wonderful private tour with Michelle. She has so much knowledge and truly seemed excited to see our reactions to everything we tried (which was all wonderful). This will be a beautiful memory from our trip for a long time.
Michelle our host was very knowledgeable and picked the perfect spots for our family
