About us

About Astra Via

We're a team of Paris guides, running private tours since 2022. Our founders bring over 10 years of combined guiding experience, and we still lead tours ourselves.

Why we only do private tours

We believe a guided visit should fit the people on it. That's why every tour we run is private: your group, your pace, and the things you actually want to see.

Local guides who know the details

We live and work in Paris. We've spent years learning the city's history and the details most people walk past, and we bring that to every tour.

Our team

When someone joins our team, we look for three things: knowledge, personality and passion. A great guide needs all three.

Knowledge

Personality

Passion

Trusted local partners

We work directly with the places we take you, from major sites like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame to small family-owned vineyards in Champagne. We choose our partners carefully and only work with reliable local businesses, so your day runs smoothly from start to finish.

Paris and beyond

Paris was just the start. The region around it is well worth exploring, so we now run day trips to Versailles, Normandy, Champagne, the Loire Valley, Giverny and more.

A multilingual team

Our team includes native English, French and Spanish speakers, and we welcome guests from all over the world.
